COMPANY PROFILE

History

Long ago our town was not known by the name it is called today. It was then

called "GITNANG PULO” because it is located at the center of the different settlements

that were located within the area. The name "GITNANG PULO" was later changed to

"MASILAW" due to the abundance of trees called "DAPDAP" that bears bright-red

flowers. When it blooms, the leaves fall off, and the bright color of its flowers produce

glare, which we called in tagalong "NAKAKASILAW". It makes the word shorter; it

was reduced to "MASILAO". During this time, Masilaw was a wilderness, where big

trees covered with vines and thick underbrush, constitute the major portion of the place.

It was then the favorite hunting ground of wild pigs and birds from the neighboring
 6

barrios. So, the people of Masilaw under the leadership of Cabez Feliciano Ramos,

Cabeza Honorio Bayot, Cabeza Pedro Tibayan and Cabeza Husto Ambion work for the

separation of Amadeo from Silang. Their petition was granted and on July 15, 1872,

Amadeo became a separate town.

During this time the head of a town was not called mayor but Cabeza de

Barangay. By popular vote Mr. Honorio Bayot became the first Cabeza de Barangay of

Masilaw, who served from 1884 to 1885. This was followed by Pedro Tibayan who

served from 1886 to 1887. Then comes Cabeza Feliciano Ramos who served from 1888

to 1889. This was followed by Just Ambion who served from 1890 to 1891. Again,

Cabeza Feliciano Ramos was elected and served from 1892 to 1893 and finally Cabeza

Monico Ramos Who served from 1894 to 1896 during the Philippine Revolution. But

the independence of Amadeo as a town lasted up to the latter part of 1896 when

Philippine Revolution began. For the past 20 years Masilaw was recognized as a town,

but toward the end of 1904 a provincial reorganization was made. In this reorganization

plan, smaller towns were made a part of the bigger towns to make the administration

easier. So, from 1904 to 1914 Masilaw was again a barrio of Silang. The people of

Masilaw resented this action of the authorities because they knew the hardship that they

would suffer once more. So, all the influential persons of Masilaw joined the movement

to regain the lost status of their town. Among those who spearheaded the movement

were Mr. Geronimo Bayot, Mr. Primo Villanueva, Mr. Leoncio Ramos, Mr. Andres

Baybay and Mr. Felix Bebe.

They appealed to Governor Ladislaw Diwa who was then the Civil Governor of

Cavite to separate Amadeo from Silang. It was only in 1915 of after 11 years of

continued pleading that Masilaw was made a separate town. A majority vote of the

Municipal Council made Mr. Jeronimo Bayot as the first president of the Municipality
 7

of Amadeo. The inauguration was a colorful one. Everybody seemed to be happy for at

last they were free to govern themselves. It happened that the inauguration of the town

concedes with the birthday of Prince Amadeo of Savoy, the second son of the king of

Italy and the present king of Spain.

So, to perpetuate the memory of the beloved prince Masilaw was named

Amadeo in honor of Prince Amadeo of Spain. Mr. Rufino Villanueva who was then a

clerk in the treasurer's office supervised the transfer of all records and important

documents to the Municipality of Amadeo.

The new town was composed of 10 barrios with a total land area of 5,013

hectares. During all these years, Reverend Father dela Fiesta was the Parish Priest of

Amadeo. He donated the town plaza where to erect the municipal building. After

several years in Amadeo, Father dela Fiesta was transferred to another town and Rev.

Father Castillo Nunez was assigned in Amadeo. Father Nunez was the one who planned

the población of Amadeo, which served as the basis of our development plan of the

población today. In 1937, the Congress of the Philippines passed a law creating the City

of Tagaytay. Under its charter 300 hectares will be taken from Maitim, 300 hectares

from Kaybagal and 200 hectares from Talon or a total of 800 hectares will be taken

from Amadeo. So, the original area of 4,750 Hectares granted to Amadeo was reduced

to 3, 950 hectares, which is the present area of Amadeo.

Pre-Work Immersion Orientation Narrative Essay

Immersing Oneself to a New Environment

On September 27, 2023, Wednesday, the orientation for the work immersion of

Grade 12 STEM - Del Mundo took place particularly in the ICT Room, Grade 12

Building. This orientation solely for the purpose of having a brief introduction, as well

as clarifying the guidelines that should be followed within the work immersion, was

then led by Ms. Mayette B. Pia.

The meeting served as the commencement, with regards to the work immersion,

as Ms. Pia tackled about the significant characteristics that a student should have in

order to deliver quality service to the institution or company that he/she will be

deployed or assigned to. These characteristics include discipline, reliability,

professionalism, and work ethic. Aside from discussing these traits, the rules and

regulations within the work immersion venue were also put into dialogue. These rules

and regulations were put into the minds of the students, serving as a significant tool in

being knowledgeable, holding accountability, as well as responsibility within oneself

and the work immersion they are committed to—also considering the traits that were

discussed previously. Apart from this, Ms. Pia have given some lectures about work

ethic and why is it exactly important to have that as the work immersion succeeds.

Profoundly explaining the qualities, attributes, and personality traits that a student

should have in order to be considered as one who possesses the strong stance for work

ethic. Whilst the orientation went on, the confidentiality within the work place was then

placed into the discussion.

 11

The students were given the time to comprehend how it is therefore important

to understand the nature of confidentiality, and how to ensure that they comply with

legal or ethical guidelines, including the time when to break the confidentiality that they

have. Safety tips are also important in taking crucial notes about the work immersion

as accidents and common safety issues tend to occur at times without control. Knowing

safety measures in the workplace should provide the students with enough assistance

and guidance to help them get through the work immersion without any complications,

physically and mentally. Yet of course, aside from the safety tips, it is better to be ready

when a certain conflict arises, especially when one cannot unfortunately avoid it due to

some circumstances. Therefore, what the students needed to know about effective

conflict resolution and teamwork skills were then also put into their minds by their

lecturer. The concept made them discern that when there is conflict, it’s important to

understand how to navigate and resolve it effectively.

As all of these matters were discussed, the students were able to gather ample

information about what they needed to know, do, and understand about the whole work

immersion that they will be undergoing. It was evident that the students are grateful as

they were given the chance to have the opportunity to listen and relate to what Ms. Pia

tackled about. It is in fact now ensured that the orientation will serve its purpose to help

them walk towards the workplace with ease, while also having wisdom in their minds.

JOURNAL

WEEK 1 (February 5-6, 2024)

Day 1

On the 5th of February, we began our immersion at the Municipal Hall of

Amadeo, specifically in the Rural Health Unit where I’m currently assigned. Before

reaching our destination, my fellow immersion workers and I walked there since it

wasn’t far. Upon arrival at the Municipal Hall, Ma’am Ayette B. Pia dropped us off,

and we were promptly accommodated by the working personnel. After a brief

orientation, outlining the guidelines for the work immersion, we were deployed to our

designated places. Inside the RHU, we met Doctor Melinda Villanueva, who acquainted

herself with us through interviews and by reviewing our resumes. When we were

grouped and assigned to our stations, I felt excited, especially since I was assigned to

the laboratory and the Doctor’s Office. Before proceeding with our tasks, we

reintroduced ourselves to the other personnel inside. I was paired with Audrey Anne G.

Cabrera in the laboratory, and we were given a tour by Ma’am Gina Bautista, who

introduced us to the equipment used for various tests. We were informed that we would

gain hands-on experience with tasks such as prick tests and blood smearing. Afterward,

we were informed that we would commence work the next day. We spent the rest of

our time in a corner before excusing ourselves for an early lunch and timeout.

Day 2

On the second day of our work immersion, we were greeted by Doctor Melinda

Villanueva, who shared her experiences in consultations and insights about working as

a health worker for the government. I was assigned to the frontlines today, where
 19

Ma’am Gina Bautista taught me to measure patients' blood pressure and perform

Random Blood Pressure tests. Today’s duty was special as it was the first time the Rural

Health Unit catered to pregnant women delivering their babies. Unfortunately, the two

pregnant women who delivered their babies arrived late at the delivery room, so they

ended up giving birth at the front spot of the Municipal Hall. Afterward, I attended to

taking the blood pressure of each patient before having lunch, which was permitted by

our facilitator. Returning to my desk after lunch, there weren't many patients left to

serve. Eventually, I went to the front desk where Doctor Melinda was, and observed

her tasks, including acupuncture and birth control replacement. After that, as the

working hours approached closing time, there were no more patients left, and Doctor

Melinda allowed us to leave at exactly 5 pm.

Learning Insight

On my initial day of work immersion at the Rural Health Unit, I gained

significant insights into the importance of meticulous attention to detail. This

heightened awareness facilitated my retention of essential information concerning the

equipment used for various laboratory procedures, including urinalysis, dengue testing,

and phlegm analysis, among others, administered by professionals such as (Name).

Noteworthy among these apparatuses were the GeneXpert machine, instrumental in

expediting sample analysis, alongside the automated microscope and centrifuge. I also

acquired firsthand knowledge of the critical protocols governing sample handling,

emphasizing the necessity of refrigeration to prevent spoilage during testing intervals.

Additionally, my observation of the diligent and task-oriented demeanor exhibited by

the facility's staff underscored the significance of cultivating similar attributes within

myself, a commitment I am dedicated to refining throughout the duration of my

immersion. Recognizing the ongoing learning curve ahead, I am motivated to exert

 20

diligent effort and assume responsibility for every task entrusted to me. Reflecting on

the day's experiences, I internalized the poignant advice imparted during orientation—

that my efficacy in public service hinges upon the wholehearted dedication I invest in

my work, a principle I wholeheartedly embrace and endeavor to uphold. Today, my

insights feel particularly enriched as a result of immersing myself in hands-on tasks,

crucial not only for acing our practical exam but also for honing skills vital to my future

profession. Through these tasks, I've absorbed invaluable lessons in patience,

accountability, and a deepened sense of compassion for patients. Moreover, I've

expanded my skill set, mastering techniques like obtaining blood pressure readings

using a non-automatic Sphygmomanometer and conducting Random Blood Pressure

tests with precision through specialized testing kits. These experiences not only

enhance my proficiency but also reinforce my dedication to delivering exceptional care

in my chosen field. I’ve also seen patients who were taken care of professionally by

Doctor Melinda Villanueva and observed how proficient she is with her work,

especially in acupuncture.

WEEK 2 (February 12-13, 2024)

Day 1

The day commenced with the Flag Raising Ceremony, symbolizing our

commitment to service and unity. Following this, I had a brief yet enlightening meeting

with Dra. Melinda Villanueva, gaining valuable insights into the inner workings of our

healthcare facility. Transitioning to sorting and stacking medicine inventory, I engaged

in the essential process of organizing and cataloging pharmaceutical supplies, crucial

 21

for seamless patient care. As the morning progressed, I delved deeper into inventory

management, meticulously cross-referencing labels and quantities to maintain

accuracy. Our midday break provided a welcome opportunity for nourishment and

socialization, recharging our energy for the tasks ahead. Returning to inventory duties,

I navigated through medication shelves, methodically arranging and documenting each

item. Amidst the hustle and bustle, a brief respite allowed for reflection and relaxation

before diving back into the task at hand. As the day drew to a close, I ensured the

workspace was tidy, maintaining a clean and organized environment for the next day's

activities. Each task, whether ceremonial or practical, contributed to upholding the

standards of excellence within our healthcare institution.

Day 2

Today's immersion began promptly at 8:00 AM as I arrived at the laboratory

and logged into the daily time record system. The morning was dedicated to conducting

routine checks on laboratory equipment, ensuring optimal condition for the day ahead.

By 10:00 AM, I transitioned into standby mode, remaining attentive to incoming

messages and emails, ready to respond promptly to any urgent requests or updates. At

11:30 AM, I took a well-deserved lunch break, stepping away from the laboratory to

recharge with a refreshing walk outside. Returning at 12:30 PM, I assisted with

laboratory appointments for the remainder of the afternoon. Guiding patients through

procedures and ensuring their experience was seamless and comfortable was my

priority until 3:00 PM when I took a brief break. Back on standby from 3:00 PM until

the end of the workday at 5:00 PM, I remained available for any last-minute assistance
 22

or queries. As the day concluded, I logged out, ensuring all end-of-day tasks were

completed and the laboratory was properly secured.

Learning Insight

Today's schedule revealed a noticeable decrease in patient visits compared to

typical Mondays at the Rural Health Unit. This observation led me to ponder the

behavior of individuals seeking medical attention, suggesting a preference for early-

week appointments. Witnessing patients proactively addressing their health concerns

reinforced the notion that prevention is indeed better than cure. Additionally, the

significance of accessible health facilities within our community was highlighted,

offering convenience and affordability, particularly for those with limited mobility or

financial resources. In conclusion, today's experiences underscored the importance of

proactive healthcare practices and the vital role of community health facilities in

promoting overall well-being.

WEEK 3 (February 19-20, 2024)

Day 1

The day began with the Flag Raising Ceremony, serving as a poignant

reminder of the values of unity and patriotism underlying our work. Gathering with my

colleagues, I felt a sense of pride as we honored our country's flag together. Following

this, I meticulously recorded my attendance in the daily time record log, emphasizing

the importance of discipline and responsibility in our workplace. Soon, I found myself

on duty for laboratory assistance alongside Ma’am Gina Bautista, a seasoned

professional whose expertise was invaluable in medical diagnostics. Under her

mentorship, I engaged in various tasks, from learning to read hematocrit levels to

mastering the technique of centrifuging urine samples. Throughout the day, my focus
 23

shifted to patient care as I assisted with laboratory appointments, ensuring each patient

received the attention and support they needed. These interactions reinforced the

importance of empathy and compassion in healthcare delivery. During our lunch break,

I took a moment to recharge and reflect on the morning's activities before returning to

work with renewed energy. In the afternoon, I continued my duties with a focus on

acquiring random blood sugar measurements from patients and assisting with any

additional tasks. As the day concluded, I reflected on the multitude of tasks and

interactions that filled my day, recognizing the rewarding feeling of making a difference

in the lives of others.

Day 2

My day commenced promptly at 7:50 AM as I cleaned up the station, ensuring

everything was organized and sterile for the day ahead. Updating the Daily Time

Record Log at 7:55 AM was crucial for documenting the team's presence and

responsibilities. From 8:05 to 8:30 AM, I remained on standby, ready to jump into

action at a moment's notice. At 8:30 AM, I performed the task of blood pricking a

patient for a hematocrit count, paying close attention to detail to ensure accurate results.

Following that, I centrifuged the blood sample from 8:35 to 8:40 AM, separating its

components for analysis. Checking the hematocrit count of the patient was my next

priority, ensuring the results were within the expected range and flagging any concerns.

Another standby period allowed me to stay prepared for any unexpected developments.

My midday break from 12:00 to 1:00 PM provided a welcome chance to recharge for

the afternoon. At 1:00 PM, I focused on viewing the swab test results for COVID-19 of

a patient, a crucial step in our diagnosis and management efforts. The afternoon was
 24

filled with various patient care duties, documentation tasks, and maintaining cleanliness

in the environment. Wrapping up the day with a final standby period from 4:30 to 5:00

PM ensured all loose ends were tied up for the next shift. Throughout, my adherence to

protocols and procedures remained steadfast, ensuring the highest standards of care and

professionalism in our healthcare setting.

Learning Insight

These two days provided valuable insights into the intricacies and demands of

working in a healthcare laboratory setting. The importance of teamwork and mentorship

was emphasized, as collaborating with seasoned professionals like Ma’am Gina

Bautista allowed for hands-on learning and skill development. Observing and

WEEK 4 (March 4-5, 2024)

Day 1

For today's work immersion, our day was filled with a variety of tasks and

experiences that truly encapsulated the multifaceted nature of healthcare. Our morning

began with the meticulous process of sorting through patient records to identify those

scheduled for follow-up diagnoses and check-ups at the clinic. While this task posed its

challenges, particularly in matching names to specific dates, perseverance prevailed as

we ensured accuracy in our records. As the day progressed, I found myself undertaking

various responsibilities, starting with conducting Random Blood Pressure (RBS)

measurements for a patient. Despite initial apprehensions, the procedure went

smoothly, highlighting the importance of precision and care in every task undertaken

within a medical setting. Transitioning to the vital signs corner, I patiently awaited

patients requiring Blood Pressure (BP) checks, observing the steady flow of individuals

seeking medical attention. Amidst the hustle and bustle, I remained vigilant, ready to

assist wherever needed.

However, the pinnacle of the day came when I was summoned to the delivery

room, where a pregnant woman awaited the arrival of her newborn. Alongside my

colleagues and under the guidance of Ma’am Cristy Villanueva, we stood witness to

the miracle of birth, a profound and humbling experience. The privilege of being

entrusted with the care of both mother and child during such a momentous occasion left

an indelible mark on my journey in healthcare. Following the birth, I seamlessly

transitioned into postpartum care, tending to the mother's needs with sensitivity and

compassion. From changing diapers to monitoring vital signs, each task was executed

with the utmost attention to detail, reflecting our commitment to providing

 26

comprehensive care. During lunch, amidst moments of respite, I reflected on the events

of the day, grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work. In the

afternoon, my colleague and I resumed our duties, diligently monitoring the vital signs

of both mother and baby until the conclusion of our shift. As the day drew to a close,

we engaged in the necessary cleanup tasks, ensuring the clinic remained a safe and

hygienic environment for all. With a sense of fulfillment and gratitude, we bid farewell

to our supervisors, reflecting on the invaluable experiences gained and the lives touched

throughout the day.

Day 2

The day unfolded with the routine task of filling out the Daily Time Record

Log, ensuring accurate documentation of our presence and activities. Following this

administrative duty, we entered a standby mode, remaining prepared for any unforeseen

tasks or emergencies that may arise. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we took a well-

deserved lunch break, providing a brief respite to recharge and refuel for the remainder

of the day. Post-lunch, another period of standby ensued, allowing us to remain flexible

and responsive to changing circumstances. As the afternoon progressed, we took on the

responsibility of passing important documents to the office, ensuring seamless

communication and workflow within the organization. Another standby period

followed, underscoring the importance of readiness and adaptability in our work

environment. Overall, the day was characterized by a blend of routine tasks, moments

of rest, and preparedness for any challenges that came our way.

multifaceted world of healthcare. The days began with the meticulous task of

organizing patient records, where I encountered the challenge of matching names to

specific dates. Despite initial difficulties, I persevered, recognizing the importance of

attention to detail in ensuring accurate records. Throughout the days of the immersion,

I found myself undertaking various responsibilities, from conducting Random Blood

Pressure measurements to assisting in vital sign monitoring. Each task reinforced the

necessity of adaptability in responding to the diverse needs of patients and colleagues

alike. However, the highlight of the day came when I was summoned to the delivery

room to assist a pregnant woman in labor. Standing alongside my colleagues, we bore

witness to the miracle of birth under the guidance of Ma’am Cristy Villanueva. This

profound experience underscored the importance of empathy and compassion in

providing holistic care to patients during their most vulnerable moments.

Following the birth, I seamlessly transitioned into postpartum care, tending to

the mother's needs with sensitivity and care. From changing diapers to monitoring vital

signs, each action was imbued with a sense of responsibility and dedication to providing

comprehensive care. As the day drew to a close, I reflected on the gratitude I felt for

valuable lessons and insights that will undoubtedly shape my journey in healthcare for

years to come.

WEEK 5 (March 11-12, & 15 2024)

Day 1

The day began with attending the Flag Raising Ceremony, a time to come

together and show our pride as a team. Following that, we entered a standby mode,

staying alert and ready for any unexpected tasks or events. After a well-deserved lunch

break, we dove into sorting and organizing consultation papers and documents, making

sure everything was in order for future reference. This task required attention to detail

and teamwork to ensure efficiency in our workflow.

Later in the afternoon, we focused on the essential task of hazard disposal, prioritizing

safety within our workspace. With everyone pitching in, we ensured that potential risks

were minimized, creating a safer environment for all. Another standby period followed,

allowing us to remain flexible and responsive to any last-minute needs that may arise.

Overall, it was a productive day filled with diverse activities, highlighting our

teamwork and commitment to excellence.

Day 2

The day kicked off with setting up the Consultation Table, a task aimed at

preparing a conducive environment for discussions and decision-making. Following

this, we prioritized safety by tackling the disposal of hazards, ensuring a secure

workspace for all team members. Afterward, it was time for a well-deserved lunch

break, providing an opportunity to recharge and refuel for the tasks ahead.
 29

Post-lunch, another round of hazard disposal was carried out, emphasizing our

commitment to maintaining a safe working environment. Subsequently, we entered a

standby mode, remaining vigilant and ready to respond to any unforeseen

circumstances or urgent matters that may arise. This dynamic approach to task

management ensured that we remained adaptable and prepared for whatever the day

may bring.

Day 3

After our classroom session, we proceeded to the Rural Health Unit (RHU) for

our practical examinations. Upon arrival, we were divided into three groups, each

comprising four members, including the second batch of immersion students. The

practical exam entailed conducting Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) tests and Blood

Pressure (BP) measurements on our assigned partners. Working collaboratively within

our groups, we diligently carried out the CBG and BP tests, ensuring precise and

accurate measurements. This hands-on practice equipped us with practical skills and

enabled us to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in our classes to real-world

situations. Alongside the practical exam, Dr. Villanueva, our supervisor, offered

valuable insights and reminders. Her guidance emphasized the importance of

professionalism, accuracy, and empathy in our interactions with patients, reinforcing

our role as healthcare providers. Overall, the practical exam at the RHU provided us

with a valuable learning opportunity to showcase our proficiency in essential medical

procedures while receiving constructive feedback and mentorship from our supervisor.

Firstly, they underscore the importance of task prioritization, as I arranged activities

such as attending ceremonies, organizing documents, and ensuring workspace safety

based on urgency and importance. Secondly, there's a clear emphasis on safety

awareness, as I repeatedly focused on hazard disposal, recognizing and addressing

potential hazards promptly to ensure the well-being of my team members. Additionally,

the inclusion of standby periods emphasized the necessity of flexibility and adaptability

in the workplace, as being prepared to switch tasks or respond to unforeseen events

demonstrated resilience and the ability to thrive in dynamic situations. Lastly, the tasks

also highlighted the importance of team collaboration, as activities like setting up

consultation tables and organizing documents likely required effective teamwork to

accomplish efficiently.

WEEK 6 (March 19, 2024)

Day 1

For today’s immersion, me and my colleagues filled up the time that we haven’t

been able to complete during the time when we ran for errands on the first day.

Throughout the day, I assisted Dra. Melinda Villanueva by taking patient details at the

front desk, ensuring a smooth and organized process for consultations. This involved

gathering vital information and managing patient records effectively. Following the

morning session, I took a well-deserved lunch break to recharge before returning to the

front desk for consultations. Here, I engaged with patients, addressing their concerns,

and providing necessary guidance and information to facilitate their healthcare journey.
 31

In the afternoon, I had the opportunity to observe acupuncture procedures,

broadening my understanding of alternative medical practices and their application in

patient care. This hands-on experience allows me to witness the therapeutic benefits of

acupuncture and its integration into holistic treatment approaches. Additionally, I

remained on standby throughout the day, ready to assist with any tasks or emergencies

that may arise, ensuring the smooth operation of the medical facility and the comfort of

patients under our care.

Learning Insight

As the final day of my work immersion ended, I realized that even things were

overwhelming and exhausting in the beginning, everything’s all worth it and fortunately

paid off through the fulfillment and compassion that I felt and received. I learned

throughout my work immersion experience how important it is to have passion and

dedication in what you do. In order for me to properly serve and deliver care to other

people, I must be someone who displays perseverance, patience, and responsibility.

Through my experience of taking patient details at the front desk with Dra. Melinda

Villanueva, I've gained valuable insights into the importance of thorough record-

keeping and patient interaction. Engaging directly with patients has taught me the

significance of empathy and clear communication in healthcare delivery. Each

interaction offers an opportunity to build trust and rapport, essential elements for

effective patient care. Moreover, observing acupuncture procedures has expanded my

understanding of complementary therapies and their role in holistic wellness.

Witnessing the positive impact of acupuncture firsthand underscores the importance of

integrating diverse treatment modalities to meet patients' unique needs. Overall, this

experience has reinforced the value of continuous learning and interdisciplinary

collaboration in providing comprehensive healthcare services.
