Profile
Julita was previously called TAMBUCO. This thriving municipality in the eastern
part of Northern Leyte got its name due to the Jesuit Missionaries who used to hire native
guides in the propagation of the Christian faith among the contiguous towns of Burauen,
Dulag, and Dagami. These friars, before their departure for Dulag, had to stop at a
certain place called Mohon where the guides usually left them to journey by themselves
to Dulag. This place where the native guides used to depart from the friars came later to
be called TAMBUCO, meaning point of departure. As time went on, this point became
The first person to recognize the place was Lakatan, who accidently discovered
the fertile land conductive to the growth of almost any kind of agricultural product.
Enchanted by the beautiful place, he immediately went home and convinced his family
and friends to settle in the place he discovered. He was gradually joined by other settlers
and in 1601 it became a sitio of Dulag, and later on became one of its barrios. However,
when Dagami became an independent municipality from Dulag, Tambuco was annexed
to its as one of its barrios. Tambuco became a prosperous community, until a strong
hurricane swept over it destroying practically everything, forcing the people to migrate
to nearby places and towns. Tambuco again deteriorate into a vast wilderness.
In 1788, a road was constructed linking the town of Burauen to Dulag and
Tambuco was once more settled. Traders who travelled on foot or horseback used to
stop at Tambuco which necessitated the alteration of the name from Tambuco to
HINULATAN, meaning waiting place, for it became the sanctuary of merchants and
traders who had to stay overnight. Francisco Caladcad, with a few others, decided to
clear the abandoned place and settle there. He became the leader of the new settlers. He
was the one who initiated the movement to change the name HINULATAN to JULITA
in honor of his beautiful daughter who was born there. The young daughter grew into a
beautiful lady who was also the richest in the entire barrio. Suitors from different places
came to court the fair Julita, thus her name was used to denote the place. In 1877, Friar
Manuel Buenavente of Burauen who often visited Julita assisted the people in their
spiritual needs and constructed a little chapel. Shortly afterwards, Mateo Trinchera
became the leader of the leader of the municipality and under him Julita became a
jurisdictional barrio of Burauen. Two months later, through this ceaseless efforts, Julita
became an independent municipality. He worked at once to change the name from Julita
to San Roque in honor of the patron saint of the town. Due to financial shortcomings,
however, it became a barrio of Burauen once more and resumed its former name Julita.
It was at that time when a crusade against illiteracy was launched. A Spanish
school was established and Maestra Joaquina Anota was the former teacher. From 1901 to
1904, Aguilos became the Capitan of Julita. At this period, a church was erected on the
spot where the present Catholic Church now stands. This was followed by the building of
the two storey school building which was later destroyed by a strong typhoon. To
replace the one destroyed, another school was built in 1905 in the plaza along the road
leading to Hindang.
But when the Philippines was liberated from the Japanese invaders, Julita returned to its
former status as barrio of Burauen. It remained a barrio until May 12, 1950 when it
inaugurated as municipality on July 4, 1950 with Juan Echon as the first Mayor.

CHAPTER III
Municipality of Julita, Municipal Budget Office this is the office where I was
excited and somewhat nervous because of the new environment and the new people
surrounding me. I didnt have any idea of what kind of people they are and it made
during my On-the-Job Training. During that moment, I felt that I was really an office boy
On my first and second day which is my first week, I was asked what was my skills
and what I am capable of to do, and then one of the staff their happened to be my
neighbor, so he is the one who teaches me what was the flow of work. The first task that
Calbasag, the following day was to encode the DOLE summary list of beneficiaries, edit
some documents, and encode a letter. My supervisor complemented me for doing it fast
and prcised.
My first and second week was really a good start and I was motivated to perform
who is very jolly, accommodating and kind to me and also to the employees their too.
The following week onwards, the task that I did was almost the same, I was told to
work. Everytime I go to another office I felt nervous but it helps me a lot, it helps me
exposed to different work situation. This helps me develop my professionalism in
dealing with people. There are times that they crack a joke on me and it made me smile
and felt that they treat me like one of them. It was a great experience for me and I was
really satisfied with my accomplishments. Despite the times that I was just sitting on my
chair, in front of my table, and waiting for my boss to ask me to do something, I still
I know that On-the-Job Training requires effort and seriousness, because it helps
me to prepare for the next chapter of my life as a professional. OJT helps me get
acquainted with the real professionals and to meet people having different positions in
the company, either high or low. Working with them made me realize how to value time,
enhance critical thinking abilities and discipline and even little things can be applied
when already working especially when dealing with people. You must be presentable,
It is very heartwarming thing to know that there are people who believed in me.
Im very grateful because I made them proud of what I have accomplished during my
training and they were very thankful for everything that I have helped them with.
My last week of On-the-Job Training was our LGU Olympic. Im enjoying every
game that I joined with, for this is my last moment that I am with them. The game helps us
get more acquainted and socialize with our colleagues. It develops our thinking skills
and how to work well with everyone and have a good teamwork. I was happy because I
will finally finish my training but somehow sad because I will be leaving the office where
I had lots of memories and I will be missing the people that became close to me for a
period of time.
Despite the sorrow of leaving them, I am still happy that once in my life I have met
people like them in my life who taught me things related to my chosen course, and most
importantly, they helped me to be the best that I can be. They are the ones who helped in
molding myself to be the individual I am right now. They challenged my skills, abilities
