MY REFLECTION

I, Rhix John M. Castor, a BTTE Major in Electronics student from Acces Computer

and Technical College, Meycauayan Campus, had completed a total of Three Hundred (300)

hours of Industry Practicum in Access Computer College, Meycauayan campus from

December 9, 2019 to February 2020.

First week of December 2019 when I went to the Law office to apply for OJT, I felt a

bit of nervous but I continue to go inside. I ask question like if they were accepting trainees

and I didn’t know that the one that I’m talking to is an Attorney. I get the information I need

and his contact numberand he ask me when will I start? I said I need the approval first of our

instructor and then I’ll come back.

It was the 9th of December 2019 when I started my On-the-Job Training at Galolo and

Allon Law Offices located at 2ndflrJ.lopez bldg..ElCamino Road Camalig, Meycauayan,

Bulacan. My work office is not too big but not too small, just exact for the people working

there. It is a Public Notary Office. The office composed of 2 Attorneys, 1 secretary and 2

Assistants. It is air conditioned room like a studio type one.Atty. Gil I. Galolo and Atty. John

Paul S. Allon are the Managerial Partner/Owners of this Law Office. They are kind and

generous to us OJT’s.

In my first day of training, I found out that my 2 classmates was also trainees in this

office(Vern Aquino and Rachel Amper).At first, the secretary which is Mr. Amante Gambon

askedme to file the documents of Atty. Galolo. The documents consist of the following:

Court Order, Petitions etc. I finished it immediately and after that I observed him on what

he’s doing as the secretary ofthe law office. Most of the people’s request is Affidavit of Loss;

loss of ID, passport, license, documents, etc. At first I only watch Mr. Amante on how to do

it and listening to the instruction of Atty. Galolo, I’ve learned how to do it by myself. There

were days that Mr. Amante is absent, so Me and Rachel assigned to do his work by the

assistance of Atty. Galolo. At first I was nervous because we were the one who will interview

the person at the same time do what they need.

Days passed by, I’ve continue learning new things. From filing to doing affidavits,

acknowledgements, contract of lease, deed of sale, demand letter, special power of

attorney(SPA’s) and more. I was able to provide some of the documents needed by the

people coming to the office. It was happy to experience that one.

Sometimes, we were asked to go to LBC to send letters, BDO for payments and

CebuanaLhuillier for the bills. It is good to do the things you’re not used to it.

It was January 2020, after the long Christmas break it’s time to go back to normal

days of being an OJT. A bit sad but at the same time happy because I know new learningis

coming. Atty. Gil Galolo asked us trainees to observe if there were clients so we can have

ideas on the process or what will happen if someone filed a case.

The only source of knowledge is Experience. –Albert Einstein

This On-the-Job Training in GALOLO AND ALLON LAW OFFICE, served

as my motivationto be more active to pursue my dream. This training gave me

an inspiration to be more serious and focused in life,I say so because of what I have

experienced while I’m in the Law Office. Life there is very serious, I will not wonder

because obviously it’s a Legal Office. But training with Atty. Galolo and Atty. Allon was a

good experience.I’ve learned a lot about the things happening in a Law Office, the

environment it has and what are the documents that the clients need. I was encouraged to do

more efforts like waking up early which is not my routine, spend almost my whole day in the

office,giveextra efforts for the clients to give their needs and also to satisfy them. But I did

not regret any of that because I’m happy of what I am doing.I do that for me to learn and gain

experience that I can apply in my future job.

Despite the short period of my training, (2months more or less) it was still a

meaningful one. My training enhanced my confidence to face more people and entertain

them. It makes an inspiration of being a good employee someday..

As a student, I will do for now is to learn whatever I can in school, inspire othersand be

inspired back and do my best in everything I do with positive mind.

It is also very happy to feel that you have accomplished something and so

very happy when there are people who are so proud of what you have done and I felt

this feeling duringmy On-the-Job Training. I feel that I won in a competition and my

prize is I will Graduate college, have a degree, and finally to help back to my parents
continuously. I feel so blessed that God helped me in this journey and also to the people

who trusted me to do so.

Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future- Proverbs
19:20
Atty. Gil I. Galolo served as my trainor in the office. I can describe him as a strict but

a good one. He always say that he want us to learn. And I appreciated that, so I’m always

doing my best to learn all of his instructions every time he teaches me something. He

inspired me to be more determined and competitive in everything that I do in my daily life

as a student today and as a professional someday.

My overall learningis that patience is so much needed when your job is related to

customer service. I know that already but this time I understand why. People are hard to

please and not all of them will give back to your kindness and service.

I also learned how to notarized documents, and to do legal documents such as affidavits,

acknowledgements, contract of lease, deed of sale, demand letter and (SPA’s)special power

of attorney.

Graduation is not the end, it’s the Beginning. –Orrin Hatch

My journey of being a student will end, but my real life as an individual will start. I

feel a little bit afraid at the same time excited of the path I will conquer after graduation. But

I believe and I wish I can do my best to succeed and achieve my goals in life. My On-the-Job

Training is very helpful and will very helpful to me as I continue to take my journey as

fourth year student in the field of Office Administration.
