WEEK ONE
DAY 1 (March 7, 2023)
It's the official day of our Work Immersion today and I'm very excited as I
wake up at 5:00 am in the morning. As usual, I do my morning routine and
I also had to run some errands for my grandmother. It was then at 7:15 am
that I was all set up and ready to go and I also had to wait for one of my
friends because we decided that both of us will be going together at the City
Hall.
The time of our arrival was 7:40 am and as we entered the gate, there were
many students outside lying in wait. After some time, Jose Leuterio, a
CNHS teacher, instructed us all on what to do, and on the 2nd floor of the
REGION I
City Hall, we had a small orientation. In the said orientation, we talked
about some
basic regulations and the department we were gonna be assigned at. Both
me and Venus got appointed at the Engineering Office and when we were
there, we introduced ourselves and did some small errands such as getting
the signatures of the different offices. We did this for some time and we also
did a bit of paperwork such as writing permits. The unexpected happened
when suddenly Venus got transferred to another department because they
were in dire need of someone and there was really nothing I can do about it.
In the afternoon, I met with some of my friends and together we had lunch
at the canteen until it was 1:00 pm. I entered our department before 1:00
pm and I patiently waited for the others to come. All I did throughout the
whole hour until 4:00 pm is to do some tasks assigned to me such as
making Xerox copies of files and the logbooks. I departed at exactly 5:00 pm
and that's all the things I did for the day.
DAY 2 (March 8, 2023)

REGION I
It was somewhat of a hectic day today considering the fact that it's only my
second day, but I can't help to say it because I'm the only immersionist in
my
department. I arrived at the City Hall at 7:48 am and the first thing I did
was to clean up the whole office by myself until everyone showed up. The
very first task I was assigned to do was to send some paperwork to the
nearby department for Engr. Denis to sign but unfortunately, he was still
not present. Throughout the whole 4 hours up until 12:00 pm, I wrote down
some building permits, xerox different files, and delivered forms to be signed
all by myself. It was pretty tuff if I say so but fun in some way.
In the afternoon, I ate with my other friends in the canteen as usual. When
I got back to the office and the time was already 1:00 pm, everyone was still
not there except for our head Engr. Clevenson and one other person. I also
learned a new thing which was to encode files using the computer with the
help of Engr. Gacula. I first got permission from my supervisor and at
exactly 5:00 pm, I departed together with my friends.

REGION I
DAY 3 (MARCH 9, 2023)
It was already 7:30 am when we arrived at the City Hall together with my
friend, Venus. I went straight ahead to our office and immediately started
cleaning the whole place before any of the engineers and architects showed
up. I greeted everyone as they entered the office and they also greeted me
back. I did my usual work such as printing files, sending paperwork to be
signed, writing different permits, and so on. Whenever I was hungry, I just
eat some snacks I had brought with me while I'm doing my tasks.
In the afternoon, I waited for my other friends to be sent off from their
departments and we ate at the canteen together. We also had an
earthquake drill emergency where all of the employees including us
immersionists, had to go outside to evacuate. I had to wear a helmet as I
was going down and it was pretty fun. Engr. Romy also invited me to an
outfield work to get some chairs and tables and this was my second time
going out from the City Hall to work elsewhere. I got back to the office and
did some paperwork again until 5:00 pm and that was all the things that
had happened this day.

REGION I
DAY 4 (MARCH 10, 2023)
I arrived at the City Hall at exactly 7:30 am again and did my usual
routine as usual. This day is quite special because I was not alone in the
office but rather there were three students from the school of Tamurong
who came as
immersionists. I was overjoyed because I no longer have to suffer alone
haha. We did the assigned tasks to us pretty smoothly with no problems
considering the fact that there were more visitors showing up this particular
day.
I didn't get the chance to eat together with my friends in the afternoon
because I had an urgent thing to do and it was to get my teeth fixed. I
arrived in the office at 1:00 pm, did some paperwork, and departed at
exactly 5:00 pm.

WEEK TWO
DAY 5 (MARCH 13, 2023)
It’s Monday today and I arrived at our department at 7:37 in the morning.
I cleaned up as usual and because it was the first day of the week, everyone
REGION I
had to come out of their offices to attend the flag ceremony. When I got to
our office, the very first thing I did was again to do paperwork such as
writing, xeroxing, and arranging some permits. After I finished that, I went
to our storage room and saw that there were dishes unwashed, so I did the
obvious thing and cleaned that up also.
In the afternoon, I ate with my friends in the canteen and after that, we
went to the front of the City Hall to relax until 1:00 pm. I was also surprised
because when it was our break time at 3:00 pm, one of the staff’s brought a
bundle of pancit. I had to stop my work to eat some and it was delicious.
After that, I had to enjoy my spare time when suddenly one of my friends
texted me to go to their office and that it was urgent. As I got there, it was
then another celebration party and I had to eat again. I departed at 5:00 pm
and had to ride a tricycle because our service truck had already left.
DAY 6 (MARCH 14, 2023)

REGION I
The time was 7:35 am when I arrived at the City Hall. I headed straight to
our office, cleaned it up, and continued the assigned work that I had left off
yesterday. I finished it rather quickly and had some spare time to read the
book I brought with me titled “Laff Out Loud”, which is all about collections
of jokes, humorous stories, and fun facts. I was then assigned another task
to do some more building permit files until 10:00 am. I also went on the
rooftop of the City Hall building because I was curious what it looks like
and when I got there, I surely was not disappointed.
In the afternoon, we again went into the front garden to rest after I and my
friends ate our fill. There really wasn’t anything special that had happened
other than doing my usual work and eating grapes that Ma’am Bibian
brought for meryenda. I departed at 5:00 pm and rode the free shuttle
service together with my friends.
DAY 7 (MARCH 15, 2023)
It really was just a relaxing day today. I really didn’t do much other than
Xerox some files and write about 3 building permits if I remember so
because there weren’t as many visitors showing up as usual. I arrived at the
City Hall right around 7:37 am together with my friend Venus and cleaned
REGION I
up the whole office as always. Having such spare time on my hand, I did my
other requirements in our Work Immersion subject such as my daily diary.
In our office, I just sit around or watch the engineers and architects do
their computer work. We departed rather early today and the shuttle service
had almost full passengers on but thank goodness that I got a spot. As we
left the
City Hall, we just noticed that one of our friends didn’t get on but it was too
late and she then had to find another ride.
DAY 8 (MARCH 16, 2023)
I woke up in the morning at 5:45 am and left home at 7:28 am. It was
rather late to set out because I had to wait for Venus who was still busy
getting ready. We arrived at the City Hall at 7:38 am and I went straight to
our office to do again some work. Just xeroxing, writing, arranging files,
throwing out the trash bins, sweeping the floor, and making visitors sign up
for the logbook like I’m used to doing every other day now.
REGION I
In the afternoon, there was an event at our City Hall Plaza and almost all
of the employees were there to participate where they learned some life-
saving techniques such as CPR. I stayed at the office and had literally
nothing much to do because everyone was at the event. After it ended,
everyone started coming back to the office and of course, they were
exhausted. I was again tasked to do some work but it was only some
transactions to the treasury office like the bill and stuff. I departed together
with my friends at exactly 4:59 pm and it was a good day if I say so myself.
DAY 9 (MARCH 17, 2023)
It is Friday today and it’s the last day of Work Immersion for students of
other schools except for us because we still have one more day to go and it
will be on Monday. I arrived at our office and I again have subordinates
from Tamurong National High School that will be helping me do some work.
As usual, I was assigned to write building permits and didn’t do anything
else because my subordinates will do the hard work for me such as
accompanying the visitors and finding some files lol.
The accounting office also invited me to eat outside and because of such a
tempting offer, I didn’t refuse. We ate “linadditan” at a small resto and it
was absolutely delicious considering it was the first time I’d tasted it. I got
REGION I
back to our office and it was already nearing 12:00 pm. We didn’t go to the
canteen to eat but instead to the office where Venus is working. We hung
out there for some time and Sir Ally was so welcoming too. I immediately got
back to work by the time I entered our office and departed at exactly 4:59
pm.

WEEK THREE
DAY 10 (MARCH 20, 2023)
REGION I
It is Monday and it’s officially our last day today for our Work Immersion
job. I arrived at our office at 7:50 am which was pretty late because Venus
didn’t wake up on time and I had to wait for her to get ready. When I got
there, almost all of the engineers and architects were already working so I
didn’t have the chance to clean up the place. I had nothing much to do for
some hours because it was still early in the morning for visitors to show up
so I just played some chess on my phone to pass the time.
As visitors constantly showed up to our office, I again had plenty of work
to do and as usual, writing and inspecting permits were my main tasks. I
completed all of it rather quickly because I was already used to it almost
every single day. I got back to our office rather early after I ate with my
friends at the canteen. I was again tasked by one of the architects to xerox
some files and it took almost 2 hours to finish because there was just so
much of it. As the time was nearing to 5:00 pm, I packed up all of my
things and as I left the office, Ma’am Keisa bid me farewell.

REGION I
How to conduct one-self inside the company?
Experience is one of the great things people could have and I’m fortunate to
be one of the few who were able to walk on through the path of a certain
work field. To be able to work alongside real professionals has really given
me so much experience and knowledge about what the outside world is all
about and the potential opportunities it could bring to benefit me in many
ways. Throughout my immersion, professionalism has been given, and in
order to survive, you must know how to behave ethically while working in
the organization.
REGION I
Knowing how to act properly is one of the key competencies for success in
any workplace. This entails abiding by the company's policies and
procedures, successfully communicating with coworkers and clients, and
displaying a positive attitude and work ethic. Through my work experience,
it helped me gain these particular insights and it’s safe to say that knowing
how to be respectful is probably the best one among them. Treating
everyone you interact with, from your boss to your janitor, with kindness
and politeness, is always a great thing as it enables you to gain the same
respect also and it enhances your reputation as an employee. Being
punctual and presentable should also be taken notice. Arriving on time and
dressing appropriately
shows everyone in the company how you highly value their etiquette rules.
In addition, being able to learn the importance of soft skills such as
teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability when faced with challenges or
unexpected situations, can lead to successful outcomes in reaching your
common goals.
As a Work Immersion student, I have really gained a lot from being an
employee of a certain company. I have experienced the real-world challenges
and opportunities that come with working in a professional environment. I

REGION I
have discovered my strengths and interests, as well as areas that I need to
improve on which will benefit me in the preparation of my professional life in
the near future. I certainly believe that this experience will help me achieve
my goals and aspirations in life and I’m looking forward to it as I embark on
this arduous journey of mine.
REFLECTION
The Work Immersion program, a part of the Senior High School (SHS)
Curriculum consists of 80 hours of hard work and hands-on experience,
and I can finally and proudly say that I have successfully finished it. There
are so many great things that I want to say about my experiences but I
doubt I can hardly say all of them. As a young student, one thing is for sure
being able to have a glimpse of what the real world is capable of, especially
in the field of work, I can certainly tell you that it ain’t an easy journey to
REGION I
walk on that is why in order to thrive, you need to prepare and brace
yourself to survive. Even though it was full of hardship, the experiences I’ve
accumulated are enough as compensation and I’m just very grateful that I
had the chance to be a part of this program Work Immersion.
To start things off, I just want to point out that one of the most important
lessons I learned from my Work Immersion program was how to
communicate effectively with different types of people, such as clients,
colleagues, supervisors, and stakeholders. I learned how to listen actively,
ask relevant questions, express my ideas clearly, and provide constructive
feedback. I also learned how to adapt to different communication styles and
preferences and how to use appropriate tools and platforms for different
purposes thanks to
the guidance of the employees. I also learned that having great discipline
toward the things that come your way will always contribute to the greater
good such as reaching your certain goals or objectives in life. These are just
some of the valuable insights I’ve gathered through my experiences but I
will just end it here to keep it short for the reader’s sake.
Overall, the Work Immersion program was a meaningful and enriching
experience that enhanced my knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. It

REGION I
gave me a glimpse of what it is like to be part of the workforce and what it
takes to succeed in it. It also inspired me to pursue lifelong learning and
continuous improvement. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in
this program and for the support and guidance I received from my mentors,
teachers, peers, and family. All I can say is that to the upcoming
immersionists, take this golden opportunity to gain what you can and be an
impenetrable force that will prosper in the near future.
