REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter includes different literatures from specified sources that gives a
better comprehensive idea about the work immersion program at CREOTEC Philippines,
Inc.
The senior high school students strode into the K-12 basic education program
nearly two years ago as compliance to the new curriculum implemented by the
Department of Education (DepEd). The said curriculum earned various opinions and
criticisms as many thinks that it is unnecessary and the Philippines is not yet financially
ready for it yet. However, many top government officials deemed that it was a necessary
move to mobilize and improve the education system that the Philippines has. Only former
Senator Antonio Trillanes and Alan Peter Cayetano rejected the proposal.
However, the curriculum was passed by the previous administration and is now
being implemented throughout the nation. Under the Department Order (40), Series of
2015 of the DepEd, the work immersion is indicated as a requirement for the completion
before the graduation in the high school department to help students earn competency and
main benefits of a work immersion is that it improves and build new skills, students
become good team players, students become good team players, and students become
goal-driven. Through this, students will gain new skill sets, communication skills and
improve their existing capabilities and they get to discover themselves and jumpstart their
5
professional growth. By being exposed to the daily operations of a real work
environment, students learn how to think like an adult and lastly, immersion trains them
how to achieve these goals by giving them an opportunity to work with and be supervised
The work immersion is a great head start for students especially to those who are
still not decided if their chosen course will be the key to their dream jobs, according to
(Agno, 2017). The said immersion is done outside the school premises in accordance to
the student’s selected strand or course. This activity will help them familiarize
themselves to their target job’s purpose or on how their course should supposed to look in
the actual field that will actually prepare the students to make decisions on postsecondary
education or employment.
familiar with the workplace, employment simulation and to apply competencies in areas
program.
Based on the columnist Le Cruz of the Business Mirror (2018), the work
immersion was an exciting adventure that made students realize that science is not a mere
concept taught inside a classroom and make us gaze in amazement how these scientific
concepts are applied in the world which in a sense means that students are taught things
that are not exclaimed inside the school premises and only applicable in the outside
world.

In accordance to the Asia Foundation’s study (2018) entitled Work Immersion:
Real World Experience at Senior High, one way to address the Philippine sector’s lack of
knowledge, skills, and work experience can be addressed through the Department of
Education’s Senior High School (SHS) program, ushered by the K-12 education reform.
One of its components, the work immersion program, provides students “real workplace”
experience, giving students a set of technical-vocational and livelihood skills that can
help them make more informed career choices and improve their employment prospects.

The tasks and activities given to the immersion learners in CREOTEC during
their work immersion were divided into three main parts wherein, the first part included
the students’ orientation about what the work immersion would be all about and the
discussions about the basic rules within the facilities. The immersion learners were
divided based on their academic strand wherein the ABM students were oriented together
with the HUMSS students. Each division were oriented by their respective supervisors

Completing the Annual Payroll of Employees. The first task given for the
operations and accounting department was to first complete an annual payroll financial
statement for both blue and white-collared employees. There are various tables in the
financial statements that have given data, and in order to complete the payroll, the
supervisors assisted the immersion learners by giving them the appropriate formulas for
each corresponding quantitative data needed. The salary rate was the first computed data
that uses the monthly rate which could be determined by multiplying the daily rate by
313/12 if given, wherein 313 is the estimated total number of working days in a year and
12 represents the total number of months in an annum or one accounting period, if the
daily rate is not given, it could be determined by multiplying the monthly rate to 12
divided by 313 and then the average hourly rate is computed by dividing the daily rate of
the employee by eight. Then, the total number of hours rendered were needed to be
subtracting the number of hours absent from the regular hours total pay. Then, both
regular overtime payment and rest day overtime pays were calculated in order to
determine the gross income of each employees. The regular overtime payment could be
determined by multiplying the total regular overtime hours rendered, hourly rate and 1.25
value while the rest day overtime payment could be determined by multiplying the total
res day overtime hours rendered, hourly rate and 1.3. Then, the immersion learners
calculated for the gross pay by multiplying the total hours rendered to the hourly rate then
adding its answer to the regular overtime pay, rest day overtime pay, and meal allowance.
Moving on, the total benefits or monthly premiums that needs to get paid were completed
15
which includes the total contribution for SSS, PhilHealth, and PAGIBIG. The employees
contributed a maximum amount of P 100 for PAGIBIG, while for PhilHealth, the
0.0275/2. Using all of the completed table, the total net payment for each employee is
PAGIBIG and the shuttle deduction from the gross pay. However, for the white-collared
employees, the total taxable income and taxes are needed to be determined in order to
calculate for the net pay while also using the same formulas indicated.
Preparing the Statistical Report. After the completion of the annual payroll
table, each of the operations and accounting department were tasked to create a statistical
report in accordance to the data computed from the annual payroll statement. It was
recommended to use the pie graph to show the comparisons in the presentation of the
computed data of gross pay, total premiums, total taxable income, regular overtime
payment, rest day overtime payment, income after deducting the tax and the net payment.
The last item for the white-collared employees used a bar graph to make a comparison
Filling up the BIR Form of the employees. After the completion of teach
immersion learners’ statistical report, the learners were tasked to fill up the BIR Form,
wherein each learner were assigned to one employee from the financial statements and
fill up the BIR form of the worker that was assigned to them. The given BIR form
number, name, address, employer’s name and address, taxable compensation income,
gross taxable compensation income and the total amount of taxes withheld.

given to all immersion learners under the accounting and operations department was to
present a statistical report using the PowerPoint application which are made by the
leaders of each group after dividing the department by three groups. The report consisted

learners. During the course of 8 days in the work immersion at CREOTEC, several
problems were encountered by the immersion learners that became hindrances for the
completion of their tasks and comfortability inside the premises. These are some of the
problems that the immersion learners encountered and the solutions provided by the

One of the key things that they learned is the building of good relationship within
the workplace. This has been an integral concept within CREOTEC or specifically, the
EMS Group as they group and diversify people into specific department and challenge
them into tasks that requires teamwork and cooperation in order to be accomplished.
Other lessons that they have learned in an objective perspective are the key
technical aspects needed for the works aligned with each department. Focusing on these
aspects decreases the probability of failure and helps finish tasks in a more efficient and

is somewhat not in ratio with the number of people within the area of CREOTEC
resulting into lack of tables, chairs and long lines. As an advice, they should
