To all employees of MHPS-TS
Wishing you all a Happy New Year. I hope you all had an enjoyable celebration together
with your families. I also would like to wish a Happy New Year for all the MHPS-TS staffs who
had celebrated the New Year on business trip abroad.
At the start of 2019, I would like to send "President’s message" to all members of MHPS-TS.
First, looking back to our activities in 2018, I am pleased to introduce to you the following
achievements in various aspects of our accomplishments.
( 1 ) We had achieved 25th anniversary of business operation in February last year. It
means that we are entering new era of 2Q of the century operation, which is 26th
year operation of MTS. The next 25 years would be totally different from the first
one, which is much brighter but could be more challenging one.
( 2 ) Our employees were increased to 950 engineers (regular employees: 700, subcon
tractors: 250), and recorded a highest billable man-hour in MHPS-TS history.
( 3 ) We have conducted big organizational change for our future (2020) even in the
highest workload and busiest time. Of course we cannot see the result of this
change in short period. However, I believe that this change will give good result
for us to survive in the severe global engineering market.
( a ) Merging Power center and Chemical center for the purpose of making
them stronger in each functional scope, such as Layout piping, Electrical,
Instrument & Control and Civil. More synergetic effect shall be expected
to be generated.
( b ) Machinery Division became bigger household by merging with ST/GT
3D engineers for creating and finding our capability.
( c ) Service Department have been newly started for the environment change in
MHI/MHPS groups, which is shifting to Service business (after service)
( d ) Digital Engineering has been newly started for handling IT
Engineering tool such as Engineering platform, 3D etc.
( 4 ) Not only Power engineering, but also Chemical engineering got ISO
9001 (2015 version) certification from TUV-SUD. It means that we had
completed our base which shall be grown and be improved for our
future.
( 5 ) Through QMS action with Annual Action Plan (both company level,
division level), Monthly Management Review meeting (QMS monthly
meeting) and Management Review, self-monitoring and self-
evaluation of our process, our weak point is observed. At the start of
this year, I expect that all groups will include their unique activities in
AAP.
( 6 ) In Corporate scope, we started new evaluation system and dialogue,
and I believe that evaluation of Filipino by Filipino will be made proper
ly within a few years.
( 7 ) In the expansion to new scope of work and new partners. Last year, we
have got some new scope and new partners . We must know that job
will not come to us naturally. We must get our job strategically and
aggressively.
( 8 ) In 2018 Factory-1 (DCS factory) recorded an achievement of 1,500 pan
els' delivery which is 1.5 times higher compared to year 2017.
Taking a look on our circumstances, our market surrounding MHI and MHPS
groups are changing dramatically and rapidly. Especially, in the field of In-
dustrial and Engineering, a key word “5D” has been observed. 5D consists of
“Decentralization (Globalization), Decarbonization, Digitalization, Depopula-

Living our 2019 with Good Habits
By: Catyleen Manuel
Turbine Department, Machinery Division
Days, months and a year just passed- so fast. Now, we’re heading to an-
other year of ups and/or downs, success and/or failure. You as I am, want-
ed the best of 2019, right? It’s so important to take a moment on reflecting
ourselves as to what are the aspects of our life we need to improve, elimi-
nate or retain. First, assess how you lived your 2018.
As you spent it, have you ever experienced waking up from a well-
consumed sleep yet feeling tired and burnt out already as you look for-
ward of your daily things? It’s steady and safe despite the truth that there
are still things to work on. Fulfillment of professional or personal growth
seems unachievable as your motivation fades to dust even if you’re full of
ideas install in you. Did you ever come to point of asking yourself: "What
else is there waiting for me?” Or you just don’t care of these things at all?
Stop, you might not notice but you’re living with “bad habit". Know that
your habits become your identity. These habits are deeply embedded in
your subconscious mind; it is keeping you from living ideally thus controlling
your life.
And bad habits to control your life? That is, something you don't want to
get worse than now. It didn’t only limit you to be the best of which you are
but also the chance of being the best of who you're not. As bad habit,
restrains you from all the possibilities of the world. And worst, the extent of
killing one self. But why would we let it happen if we could make up for all
our bad habits.
The best way to stop a bad habit is to never begin with but admit it’s in us
already. It is stubborn as we are, sometimes. And it’s impossible to immedi-
ately change the old but not so good habit of ours. However getting into
new habit as replacement will change us for the better. Divert
and help yourself, so here are some (5) of Good Habits to
embody.
Self-care. Having a rightful amount of time on you; in the form
of morning and evening routine- exercise, reading newspaper
or by weekly basis- maybe going alone somewhere no one is
familiar-café, mall, park, and museum. Anywhere that you’ll
feel refreshed is super important habit to start. Free your mind
from worries and just do it. Self-care doesn’t have to be any
extravagant and lavish. It’s not being self-centered too, just
spending time doing the things you love to do alone (free of
self-harm); even just for certain time is taking care of yourself.
Become more observant. The world is full of examples, ideas,
words, wisdoms, arts and experiences to learn from, to be
motivated. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to absorb all
these by either getting involved or to affect your life thorough-
ly. Getting aware of your surroundings is being sensitive and
being concern to others. This teaches us to be grateful at our
daily life.
Collect ideas and emotions. Gather your thoughts in any cer-
tain time of the day. Your thoughts are important as how you
ideally view the world much as how you want to convert it
into reality. Meanwhile, identifying your emotions/feelings is
important to balance what your mind establishes-without los-
ing the sense of self awareness. And do it best by way of writ-
ing.
Read. Read a lot and put away your gadget. Reading is prob-
ably one of the best habits of diverting bad to good habit
especially from good reading books (which sadly nowadays
easily falsified thru social media and any sources alike). Gadg-
et distracts us in doing so. As you read - you’ll learn; you’ll get
inspired; you’ll be motivated and everything will be ideal from
here on. Good habits will grow in you.
Write. To write is to remember; to remember is to apply; to
apply is to make it a habit. Writing/drawing maybe, simple
patterns or any presentation of events and tasks is an effec-
tive way of getting into your goals. Keep a notebook or a
journal where you can write/draw on to your thoughts, ideas,
emotions, dreams and whatever you’d like to reminisce (you
have accomplished or not) at the end of the day; at the end
of the year.
Overall, this set of habits may or may not work on us at the
same time, at the same degree. But take one step of forming
a new good habit as we want the best of our 2019.
We are what we repeatedly do; Excellence, then, is not an act
but a habit. -Aristotle
Make it a habit to not be perfect but to be excellent in every-
thing you do. Excellent not by beating others but beating the
yesterday’s you.

Trust and Confidence Built
Through the Years
Good day everyone!
I was dispatched as an ICT employee under Boiler Designing
Department, Ducting Team of MHPS Engineering Nagasaki, Ja-
pan last November 2017 to December 2018. Upon reading or
hearing about Japan life in ICT, what comes first into our
mind? Many will think about Japan’s remarkable destinations
ranging from historical structures to breath-taking landscapes
and how they will spend their holidays travelling to these vari-
ous places. Some may think about the four seasons in Japan
which is far different from what we have here in the Philip-
pines. Others may think about technology as Japan is very
outstanding when it comes to development and innovations.
Besides all these things, we should never forget the main pur-
pose of our travel. That is to do our best in every task where

we will be delegated and meet all the requirements and expec-
tations of our customer. These two items when accomplished,
will lead to maintaining the good image of the whole company.
And as the client continue to gain trust and confidence from
our performance, more jobs will be given to us and ICT pro-
grams will also continue, giving every member a chance to
experience ICT assignment also. Living in Japan is quite differ-
ent from our everyday life in the Philippines. The difference is
very noticeable I tell you. I will start with the good points.
What I like most in staying in Japan is their means of trans-
portation. It is really amazing that traveling is very systematic
and on time that you will never worry about your appointment
schedule or arriving in office on time. Guide maps and land-
marks of nearby places can be found in the bus or train sta-
tion. Next point I admired most is their value of discipline.
Waste segregation is strictly implemented that you have to be
mindful what kind of trash you have (combustible, non-
combustible, recyclable, sharp objects, hazardous), each kind of
trash is to be placed in plastic by color coding and to be dis-
posed-off during the schedule of garbage collection. When eat-
ing in fast food chains and some restaurants, you have to
return the dishes you used and throw trashes like disposable
glass, cups, and etc. in each designated trash bin. In supermar-
kets, you will be responsible in packing the goods you bought
not by the cashier/bagger. Discipline is also very visible in
public places. When crossing the street with traffic lights, you
can see people patiently waiting for the “GO” signal although
no vehicle passes the road. In areas having pedestrian lane
but no traffic lights, motorists are very kind that they always
give priority to the people crossing the street before they con-
tinue driving. In general, many things can really be admired in
the Japanese way of living.
Another great thing that can be enjoyed in Japan is their deli-
cacies. Nowadays, there are many Japanese restaurants in the
Philippines but still, it is better if we experience dining in au-
thentic Japanese restaurants. For my several stays in Japan, I
really loved their noodles particularly ramen, champon and
sara udon (crispy fried noodles). These are really good espe-
cially during the cold season. I also enjoyed their rice menu
and bento, as their serving always includes meat and vegeta-
bles for a balance diet.
6 Communique January 2019
Not a good point in staying in Japan is the language barrier.
This is one of my biggest frustrations that although I have been
in Japan for several times, I was not able to speak and under-
stand Nihongo. I only understand basic expressions and greetings
and counting numbers only. But, the most difficult part for me
staying in Japan is the feeling of loneliness. This is the first time
that I was assigned to work abroad having now my own family
(wife and daughter). The feeling seems to be so different than
when I am still single. I really missed my family and the times we
spent together especially during special occasions. I feel bad
every time my wife, daughter or any family member got sick be-
cause I was not able to be on their side to take care of them.
Every time I am not in a good condition, I always feel sad be-
cause I don’t want my family to worry so much about me espe-
cially that we are far apart. But I am very thankful to God for
continuously giving me strength and guiding me in my everyday
life in Japan. I am also very thankful to my wife and
daughter for they are really my inspirations as I perform
the duties assigned to me while temporarily staying away
from them. By having daily conversation with my family
through video call, loneliness and the feeling of home sick
were reduced.
During the golden week, I decided to invite my family to
visit me in Japan. This is the best time to have a break
from a very tiring work and at the same time give my fami-
ly a vacation outside the Philippines. We visited several
sightseeing destinations in Tokyo and Nagasaki. I was very
happy that at her young age, my daughter appreciated the
places we have been. Although my wife and daughter
stayed in Japan only for two weeks, we really enjoyed the
moments of being together again and sharing the happiness
as one family.
7 Communique January 2019
Going into the main purpose of my travel, I can
say that this ICT assignment is the most difficult
compared with my previous ICT tasks. I have to
work on several projects at the same time. Work-
load is very high that sometimes I feel that load
for two to three persons were given to me. As
design progresses, many changes do really exists
affecting the smooth flow of work. I have to con-
sider the working schedule of MTS without affect-
ing the issue schedule by MHPS. I have to ac-
complish the deadline of each project as re-
quested by each Japanese project in charge.
There is so much pressure in work and that is
the challenge for me as an ICT employee.
Here’s how I was able to handle the situation
1. Time Management to Work under Pres-
sure
This is a very important point every employee
must possess. Given that we have a heavy
workload, we must consider how to maximize
our working time, limit or eliminate non- work
related matters and give the best effort we
can to accomplish everything on schedule.
assistance, that’s the time to consult them and bear in
mind all the knowledge they will share because what
we need to have is growth.
5. Good Communication
As an ICT employee, one of our responsibilities is to
serve as a lia-son between MTS and MHPS/MHPSE. Re
lay of information and related references is a must for
a smooth work flow. So, good communication is very
important.
Being an ICT employee for several times, I can say I was
able to gain the trust of the Japanese persons whom I have
worked with. Through the years, either as an MTS or an ICT
employee, I continue to work hard or this gives me confi-
dence that I will meet the expectation of my boss. As I share
my knowledge and experiences with our young members, I
hope I can inspire them to be motivated and give their best
in everything they will do.
Thank you very much.

2. Sense of Responsibility and Urgency

We must take full responsibility for everything

we are told to do so. If we encounter some
errors, analyze the situation very well and
find the best countermeasure in the shortest
span of time. Do no waste your time thinking
of who will be blamed for the said error.

3. Good Analytical Thinking

Especially in situations where we are assigned

to do the work for the first time, the first
thing to do is to study and analyze the given
references. Bear in mind that we are not
given references to just copy everything; it
must be fully understood so that we will be
knowledgeable on what we are doing.

Quality Management Section
The most successful companies are never satisfied with
the status quo. They constantly have their eye on the
next innovation, the next level of performance. They
know the importance of continuous improvement in all
areas of the business. Even if things are going really
well, they are looking at what could be improved upon so that
they can perform better. They are finding ways to work smarter--
not harder--in order to be more efficient and profitable. The
most successful companies are always innovating and develop-
ing new ways to deliver top-notch quality to their customers.
What is Continuous improvement?
Continuous improvement is a technique used for improving the
efficiency of the process by eliminating waste and non-value
adding activities. This was practiced through various Japanese
concepts like Lean, Kaizen, 5S, etc. Continuous improvement is
an ongoing effort used in developing products, services or pro-
cesses
Implementation
The most commonly used model for continuous improvement is the
Shewhart Cycle (known as PDCA, which stands for the Deming Cycle of
Plan-Do-Check-Act), or an approach called Kaizen, are the two most well-
known frameworks used to support continuous improvement.
Organizations implement continuous improvement in various ways and to
various degrees. It takes a large commitment to embed the methodology
into the foundation of an organization, but it doesn’t have to be used at
a large scale in order to be beneficial. It can begin on a small scale, with
one team or in one department, and then expand from there into other
areas of the organization. Everyone can include continuous improvement
in their day-to-day practices or hold “rapid improvement events” once
every few months to work on specific areas of focus. Regardless of the
degree in which continuous improvement is practiced, the results will show
up incrementally over time. The key is to start somewhere-- pick an area in
a group that needs refinements and see how the methodology works.
Remember, the process is a cycle. If the test fails, repeat the entire process.
If it works, monitor results and start over again with a new plan to promote
additional improvements. The work of continuous improvement is never-
ending.
9 Communique January 2019
 The Importance of a Continuous Improvement Mindset
As with any new process, it can be daunting to think about im-
plementing an unfamiliar methodology. In this case, it is more
about shifting the mindset rather than adding a process that
people need to learn. Continuous improvement does not have
to add to anyone’s workload--it shouldn’t create extra steps
nor take extra time to implement. The steps are meant to be
embedded into the work that’s already being done.
And this doesn’t mean forcing changes on processes that are
working well. There are always areas in the organization that can
use improvement and the point is to look for those areas. Re-
member, continuous improvement is a mindset, not an addition-
al task.
Benefits
You may still be asking, “Why do continuous improvement?”
Depending on the size of the organization and the degree to
which it is implemented, you may see various results. Below
are some common benefits that have been gained as a result:
 Improved product and/or service quality
 Increased efficiency and productivity
 Decreased cost
 Reduced waste
 Employee satisfaction and teamwork
 Customer satisfaction
To surmise from the list above, the advantages of
continuous improvement can be exponential. In
addition to financial benefits, employees who work
on improving the company tend to feel more per-
sonally accomplished--leading them to staying
longer at the organization and producing more
impactful results.
Technology and innovation continue to progress
more quickly than ever before. If the organization
sticks to what they know and what has always
worked, they will quickly be behind. Adopting a
mindset of continuous process improvement will
put them on a different, more successful, trajecto-
ry.
Continuous Improvement Is a Way of Life
The late quality guru, W. Edwards Deming said
that management and organizations must have a
consistency of purpose and a deep and abiding
dedication to constant, ongoing improvement in
order to satisfy customers, beat the competition,
and retain jobs. Deming's focus was on ensuring
that continuous improvement was bred into the
culture, not something that was momentary or oc-
casional.
Organizations that excel at continuous improve-
ment incorporate it into their values and reflect it
in their hiring and training. They also incorporate it
into their employee evaluation and compensation
system. If you visit a firm that excels at this work,
the signs of continuous improvement are visible in
every aspect of the culture. Continuous improve-
ment is a way of life, not a passing fad or short-
term fix.

The gift of Love; the gift of peace; the gift of happiness, May all these be yours every day. Make it, Christmas Day.

It was indeed one of the most remarkable nights of MHPS-TS as of Christmas Party. Employees, External Guest and Japanese Expatri-
ates, all gathered in the festively decorated Isla Ballroom of Shangri-La Hotel at Mandaluyong City four days prior to Christmas of
2018. The gathering didn’t only highlighted MHPS-TS accomplishments throughout the year; it also reminded us that Christmas sea-
son is a celebration of Love, Sharing, Appreciation and Joyfulness. Scan through to reminisce at how we spent this event of gratifi-
cation and full of surprises with lively spirit.

With proper recognition to Christmas Party committee, the night was officially started by a toss initiated by MHPS-TS President, Mr.
Masahiko Mishiro with hopes of more success, having amazing year ahead including good health to everyone.

He Later on presented the Attendance Awards among employees. The Bronze, the Silver and the Gold Attendance Awardees
received certificates and corresponding amount of P10, 000.00, P15, 000.00 and P20, 000.00 respectively.

The attendance Award was topped by Mr. J. Byrone Natividad of I&C / C&E Engineering who spent just a total of 4 Vacation
Leave within the covered year. That leaves us in awe!

Not so long since the party started, attendees filled up their plate with mouth-watering dishes and sweets of their choices. While
the guest band played numerous Christmas songs that entertained everyone to their beat.

One of the most anticipated parts of the gathering was the raffle draw wherein total of 30 raffle prizes was given away. Major 3
prizes were received by the following lucky employees:

Of course, this annual gathering wouldn’t be entertaining as it should be without group presentations, right? With that, few selected
members prepared for their performances in accordance to Philippine Festival theme. It includes: (1) Paru-Paro Festival performed
by Administration/QMS/SES; (2) Maskara Festival performed by LPED/ Digital who took the 1 st Place Award; (3) Kadayawan Festival

Basketball, a sport that showcases unity among its members is one of the achievements; MTS should be thankful and gave recogni-
tion for the year 2018. Members represent their own Division and the company as a whole with hard works and high spirits made it to
MHPS-TS Inter-Department Christmas Basketball 2018 (MBT) and Ortigas Basketball League 2018 (OBL).

The following teams from MBT season 14 were awarded with trophies and cash. Among the 8 played teams LPED MIXED took the 1 st
place; Administration got the 2ndplace while Boiler placed 3rd. It was Mr. Ronald Divina of Layout & Piping Engineering who got the
Finals MVP while King Jimeth Reyes of Administration was chosen as Seasons MVP.

Remember these lines: “We’ve been together through ups and down. I can’t
wait to spend my life with you. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?”
“Will you marry me?” Cyruss Neil Ereso from Administration expressed those
words. We were blown away as much as her girlfriend Joy Angeline Benino
from Administration was. And with that, a surprise wedding proposal was
made before our eyes, in time of celebrating the season of Love.

Overall, the gathering became successful. It was

then MHPS-TS Administration Director, Mr. Makoto
Sato who formally closed the party with a simple
speech and warm holiday greetings.

Lastly, we hope that everyone enjoyed this annual gathering nearly to Christmas day. Take these memories in your heart and mind
to always be grateful to either the simple or grandeur blessings throughout the year that in return we remember to share the good-
ness we received.
