CHAPTER III
Today we officially started our OJT. First, we been oriented about the company
rules like respecting the staff’s, which I believe should always be observed by us, and
specially our attitudes towards other people in the workplace. We were also told to wear
our departmental or OJT uniforms and ID’s as much as possible for them to easily
identify us. After the orientation, the engineers were introduced to us namely, Engr.
Rolex Pimentel and Engr. Neil Anthony Sevilleja. Also, they have introduced Sir James,
he is the Mechanical Support. The first tasked they gave to us is to read the blueprint of
Electro Mechanic Chart, the Schematic Diagram of all the Machineries in Baligatan
Hydroelectric Power and the papers of Oil Pressure Equipment and Fire Protection
System which I enjoyed reading. After that at around 3PM they also toured us in
Baligatan Hydroelectric Power Plant and they taught us the uses and functions of the
tools and machineries that are present in there. I believed that it is very important for us
to be attentive with knowledge shared to us for this will help and contribute in widening
our knowledge.
This is our second day of training, which we started at early morning around
7:45AM because we had a meeting headed by Engr. Neil in the conference room with
all the staffs of EMS Group and after a while, we introduced our self to all the staff’s.
After the meeting, Engr. Rolex gave again the Power Plant Manual’s and I read the
Governor and Unit Automation, at first I was intimidated with the pictures because I am
not an Electronics Engineer yet so I was clueless about it, however thanks to Engr.
Rolex who showed us the upgraded equipment’s namely the new Governor Machines,
they showed us too the old Governor Machines and the Guard Gate 1 and Guard Gate
2. There are many significant differences between the two Governors machines like the
size and how it is operated, needless to say I believe that I prefer the new one since it is
much easier and efficient to use though of course they have the same use and function.
I believe again this will help and contribute in widening our knowledge.
We had our meeting again at 7:45AM headed by Engr. Rolex, we were reminded
that they always conduct a meeting every morning for the discussion and distribution of
the tasks today. After the meeting again, Engr. Rolex gave again the Power Plant
Manual’s and I read the Turbine Specifications and Turbine Installations, I watched
some videos to make me easily understand how it works in a dam and the turbine.
Suddenly, in the afternoon I was shocked and a little bit nervous because Engr. Francis
Francisco entered the room and greeted us, he told his story in life on why he became a
successful Professional Engineer and after that we introduced our self to him with our
name, age, address, and why I choose BSECE and my expectation’s as trainee in NIA.
After a while, he taught us how to understand and read the schematic diagram, sad to
say that I was not able to understand what he explained, but hoping to understand it
later on and I believed again this will help and contribute to widening our knowledge.
Today, Engr. Francis Francisco conducted a meeting to all his staff and asked for
an update of their projects, After the meeting, Engr. Francis told us that Engr. Rolex will
be handling us because they have an appointment together with Engr. Neil, that’s why
we read their manuals again. Around 10AM, Engr. Rolex said we were going to
Baligatan Hydroelectric Power Plant ordered by Engr. Francis to asked their operators,
we asked first the Electrical Operator Marlon Mangahas to help us in the schematic
diagram or a blueprint of unit automation but sad to say that it’s a bit messy to
understand. At around 3PM Sir Jatur Bacani a Plant Electrician and Sir Ellioterio Dela
Cruz a Registered Master Electrician came at the control room and thanks to Sir Zatur
because he helps us to understand the blueprint of automation, and Sir Ellioterio told us
how the generatos works on the Baligantan Dam. Thanks to the three Operators there
because I gained a little bit of knowledge in Hydroelectric Power Plant. I believe this will
Today, around 7:45AM we had a meeting again headed by our OIC: Engr. Erwin
Remocal and asked the staff’s one by one for an update on their projects. After the
meeting Engr. Francis talked again about our reading of the blueprint and asked if we
can analyze that, we said, “not yet” because it’s so confusing, then he reminded us that
our presentation will be on march 15, 2019. Then after that, around 9AM Engr. Rolex
entered the room and talked about the history of the switchyard then he presented a
chart of the switchyard and we came to understand a little bit. In the afternoon, after
lunch break around 1PM we read again all the blueprint, operation and maintenance of
the system, the chart of all the machineries until five o’clock, and I believe again this will
On this day, we had a meeting in the conference room around 8:00AM headed
by our OIC: Engr. Erwin Remocal and asked their staff’s one by one again for an update
on their projects in the MARIIS dam, while the other is in Baligatan Hydroelectric Power
Plant because Engr. Erwin said they have a visitor from SN Aboitiz that will visit the
Baligatan Dam. After the meeting, Engr. Francis talked again about our presentation.
He said that we can go in the Baligatan Hydroelectric Power Plant tomorrow to asked
again their operators since we can’t go today because they have visitors there in the
Baligatan, he taught us how to understand again the blueprint, the chart, the automation
of generators on how can we shut down and turn on, and how to control the
hydroelectric power plant safely. After he taught us about that, he left us again in the
conference room and we read again the chart, we studied the block diagram of the
automation on how to close and how to open, we search in the internet, I watched a
video about how dam works so that i can understand a little bit. We studied until at five
o’clock in the afternoon. I believe this will help and contribute to widening our
knowledge.
March 1, 2019
Around 7:45AM, we had a meeting again at the conference room headed by OIC:
Engr. Erwin Remocal and asked for an update of their staff’s, he said that there is a new
routine to make an attendance and a group photo every day. After the meeting, we
talked to Engr. Francis about our presentation. Then we went to Baligatan Hydroelectric
Power Plant around 9AM. We rode on a huge vehicle, then we stop for a while at the
market to buy a food for our lunch and then we proceeded immediately to Baligatan
there and they gave us ideas on what to do. Thereafter, we studied what we need to do
on our presentation and we did our best. We went to the location of machineries from
elevation 158 to elevation 150. We took pictures each one of them and put its
corresponding explanations. I believe this will help and contribute to widening our
knowledge.
March 4, 2019
On this day, we had a flag ceremony around 7:45AM. Thereafter, they had an
announcement headed by Ma’am Olive and the other staff about their bills. After the
announcement we went to EMS building because we had a meeting with their EMS
staffs headed by Engr. Erwin Remocal our OIC Engineer. After the meeting in EMS
Plant to check with their Operating Maintenance which is in charge in the dam. After we
entered in the operating room, we met Sir Elliot Dela Cruz, RME and we asked him
about the sequences of automations, the schematic diagram, and the block diagram of
how the automation works. He taught us all about the automations, he oriented us and
we went to elevation 154 and 150. He discussed the butterfly valve on how it works, the
cooling water system, the generator and the shaft, all the electrical, mechanical and
electronics machineries there and many more, He teaches us until 3PM. After that,
there were two operators who shared their knowledge about mechanical and electrical
operations. I believe this will help and contribute to widening our knowledge.

presentation if were finish, and then we asked him of what we did not understand in the
schematic diagram and the sequences of start and shutdown of the power plant. After
that, he tought us again about the governing system and its relationship with the turbine
and generator, same as the Easy Gen Controller and he said lately that Easy Gen
Controller have relationship with the switchyard and it’s controlling the Voltages and the
frequency output. It balances also the voltages and frequencies of the Switchyard
output and the generator output. After the discussions, we continued again making the
power point presentation until 11:30AM. After we ate lunch we went to the boarding
house of our schoolmates and we went back in the office after 1 hour. Then we

B. CHALLENGES/DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
lessons we had were hard to understand for we have a little knowledge of it. Sometimes
when they were discussing the things and equipment’s/machines that we first met in our
life, it is very hard to understand what their work is in the power plant. Next, we lend to
be sleepy during the discussions and when studying the Manuals of all the
our mind. Third, we need to behave at all times when going at Hydro Electric Power
Plant per elevations (158, 154 and 150) because all the controls, machines and wirings
there is too sensitive and it can cause trouble in any human. Fourth, we need to get up
very early in the morning so that the LTO can’t catch us and at the same time, we will
far and too deep from our place/home, and the solution they offered is having private
vehicle and motorcycle. The other problems we met again if we have a private vehicle
or motorcycle is, we have no drivers license and having a doubt at Land Transportation
Office (LTO) because they arriving very early in the morning anytime. The solution
offered is to drive safely going in the office and be careful on the road.
