 INTRODUCTION
Work immersion is an educational approach that focuses on providing individuals
with real-world work experiences to enhance their understanding of a specific profession or
industry. It aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application by
immersing participants in authentic work environments. The primary goal of work immersion is
to give individuals hands-on experience and exposure to the day-to-day realities of a particular
occupation. It allows them to observe and engage in professional tasks, interact with industry
experts, and develop practical skills relevant to their chosen field. By actively participating in
work-related activities, individuals gain a deeper understanding of the industry's operations,
challenges, and best practices. Work immersion programs can take various forms, depending on
the educational institution or organization facilitating them. Some common examples include
internships, apprenticeships, cooperative education, and on-the-job training. The duration of work
immersion can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the program's design and
objectives. Overall, work immersion provides a valuable opportunity for individuals to gain
practical experience, develop industry-specific skills, and make meaningful connections within
their chosen field. By combining academic knowledge with real-world application, work
immersion helps individuals prepare for successful careers and transition smoothly into the
workforce. During work immersion, participants typically work alongside professionals,
contributing to projects, assisting with tasks, and collaborating with team members. They may
rotate through different departments or roles to gain a comprehensive understanding of the
organization's functions. Work immersion experiences may also involve attending workshops,
seminars, or mentorship sessions to further enhance learning.
 WORK IMMERSION OBJECTIVES

Immersion in the workplace will help learners build their life and career skills and get
them ready to choose between employment and tertiary education. By establishing
partnerships, the DepEd believes that the partner institutions will give students access to more
learning materials, workplace or hands-on experience, and chances for job immersion. It wants
the students to:

 Recognize the significance and practicality of the concepts and theories you acquired in
school.
 Improve their technical understanding and proficiency;

Develop their interpersonal and communication abilities, and Develop positive work habits,
attitudes, and respect for your work. By the time students enter SHS, nearly all of the competencies
and abilities necessary to prepare them for the curriculum exits (further education, employment,
middle-skill development, and entrepreneurship) have already been attained.

In work immersion, learners are not only able to apply their prior training but are also able to
experience the social interactions in a work environment. It gives them the opportunity to test
themselves and apply what they have learned in a non-school scenario. Through their job
immersion experiences, kids will learn a variety of skills and principles that will aid them as they
move from high school to the real world.

This policy directs schools in the following areas to ensure the achievement of work immersion's
aforementioned goals:

 making adaptive plans for their students' work immersion;

 presenting possibilities for work immersions that are pertinent to the objectives and
requirements of the learner;
 planning possibilities for learners to participate in work immersion that are in line with the
various human resource needs of partner institutions for work immersion; and
 When developing connections with work immersion partners, clearly define the scope and
bounds of work immersion within the context of basic education.

Los Baños Seal Meaning

Figure 1: A resolution titled "A Resolution Changing the Existing Official/Corporate Seal of the
Municipality of Los Baos, Laguna and Likewise Endorsing the New/Proposed Official/Corporate
Seal for Adoption" was passed on July 30, 2010, with the assistance of our Sangguniang Bayan
members, and it resulted in the creation of the current Municipal Seal. The Municipal
Government has developed a new corporate seal and its technical description in accordance with
its goal of a "New Los Baos": The yellow outer border represents the residents of Los Baos'
enjoyment of independence and freedom. The words "Sagisag ng Bayan ng Los Baos" at the top
and "Lalawigan ng Laguna" at the bottom distinguish it as the official corporate seal. This
outside rim also represents that Los Baos is a haven for limitless learning as a "University Town"
and a "Special Science and Nature City." Meanwhile, the inner circle (red) serves as a symbol for
daring and bravery, signifying that this lovely town is also a cradle of heroes. One of them is
Gen. Paciano Rizal, a revered revolutionary general who was also Dr. Jose P. Rizal's older
brother and a devoted patriot. The fourteen (14) governmental subdivisions (barangays) of the
municipality are represented by the blocks and sun rays in the color yellow. Additionally, a
rising sun is shown, which represents the aspirations and hopes of the populace for advancement.
The Mountain (Blue) stands for Mount Makiling, where a variety of plants and animals provide a
living for the locals. The location has gained recognition as a World Jamboree Site on a global
scale. In honor of the "Los Baos Raid," which was carried out by a joint U.S. force, the mountain
was painted blue rather than green. On February 23, 1945, 2,147 allied civilian and military
internees were liberated by an Army Airborne and Filipino task team. One of the most effective
rescue missions in recent military history has been hailed. The Woman's Face (Tan) in the center
is a depiction in art of the legendary Mariang Makiling, who is regarded as the mountain's
protector. Additionally, according to certain traditions, she is in charge of Laguna de Bay and the
fish that are caught there. The Blue Waves symbolize Laguna de Bay, the biggest lake in the
nation and a source of income for some residents of the area. In addition to being a "Special
Science and Nature City," Los Baos is a town with one of the Philippines' largest science
communities and the location of numerous research institutions, including IRRI (International
Rice Research Institute). Six (6) Elliptical Shapes (White) - This symbolizes the numerous batch
springs that are found in Los Baos, where the name Los Baos, which means "many bath rooms,"
originally came from. 1615 (White): Los Baos was founded in 1615, hence the color. The
Franciscan Friars assumed control of the administration as a distinct town from Bay, Laguna, on
September 17, 1615.

Background

Figure 2: Los Banos Laguna Arc.

Los Baños started as one of the many settlements of the town of Bay in Southern Luzon. It was then
called Mainit because of the hot springs coming from Mt. Makiling, a dormant volcano, which is located
within its proximity. These springs, which were said to have curative effects, attracted the Spaniards
especially the Franciscan Friars. In 1589, Fr. Pedro Bautista established public baths and renamed the
place Los Baños that means bathing places in Spanish. By 1595, these friars started clearing portions
around these bath houses and constructed a rest house out of rattan and nipa for visitors and sick patients,
looking for cure from their ailments. From thereon, the place becomes so popular and some visitors
decided to settle in Los Baños. Los Baños is also a part of our country’s rich history. Certain agricultural
lands in Calamba and Los Baños were then owned by the Dominican Friars. Filipinos leased these lands
for planting sugarcane and palay crops. Don Francisco Mercado, father of Dr. Jose Rizal, used to lease a
large portion of the Dominican lands. Some parcels of these lands were later bought by Rizal. According
to a manifest, certain parcels of land in Barangay Putho-Tuntungin were acquired by Paciano Rizal and
Leocio Lopez. The Mt. Makiling forest was a favorite relaxation spot of Dr. Jose Rizal. He scoured the
jungles with friend Lieutenant Travil de Andrade, a Spanish bodyguard assigned to him by the Spanish
captain-general. Later on, they were suspected of hoisting a German flag on the peak of Mt. Makiling that
irked the Spanish authorities. They also suspected Rizal of spying for the Germans. In 1897, the great
paralytic Apolinario Mabini spent a few days in Los Baños, for therapy on the hot springs. During his
stay, he prepared plans for the revolution against the Spaniards. Unfortunately, his plans failed to push
through since the Americans arrived and fought the Spaniards. The United States gained their rights on
the Philippine Islands through the Treaty of Paris. Under this treaty, the Philippine Islands, along with
 Guam and Puerto Rico were annexed from Spain in the amount of $20,000.00. In 1571, Fr. Martin de
Rada, the superior of the Agustinian religious order who came with the Legaspi expedition in 1565,
started to build a bamboo and nipa church under the patronage of Saint Augustine along the lakeshore of
Bay (i.e. Aplaya, now San Antonio). He became the first parish priest of Bay. On April 30, 1578, Fr.
Joaquin de Zuniega stated in the Historical view of the Philippine Island that Bay was organized both as a
town and a parish with Fray Juan Gallegos as the parish priest. On the same day, the village of Sampaloc
(now San Pablo) was made a visita of the lake side village where it was believed that the tribunal of
Ecclesiastical visitors of Bay was held. Fray Gaspar de San Agustin further wrote that in 1586, the
Agustinian Fathers organized the visita into a convent with a priest. The provincial Father Diego Alvarez
to handle the administration of the Christian natives. Thus Sampaloc which came to be known as San
Pablo de los Montes, ceased to be part of the Bay parish.

Figure 15: Final Day of Conducting Survey

We completed the work we started on our first day. Due to the scorching heat on the
second day, we were all worn out and exhausted. I arrived at the service at 7:45, and as soon as
 they drop us off at our barangay leaders' home, we began organizing the forms so that we may
distribute them equally to everyone of us. We began working on the homes at the Mayondon and
Bayog border (the last residences on Danka Street), which is where we left off the previous day.
By 10:00 am, we had completed 56 forms and had contacted and asked the other half of the
group if they wanted to have lunch that day, telling us to finish our portion of Sitio Sampaguita
Street. Following their instructions, we finished the first half of Sitio Sampaguita by 11:30am,
and we made the decision to eat lunch at that time. We began surveying the remaining half of
Sitio Sampaguita Street at 12:30 in the afternoon, and we finished 171 forms by 3:30. We then
went back to the school, and we clocked out at 4:00 with one of the barangay leaders who helped
us get through the day.
