 FOREWORD

“Work Immersion refers to the part of the Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum

consisting of 80 hours of hands-on experience or work simulation which the Grade 11

and Grade 12 students will undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting and to

enrich the competencies provided by the school under the supervision of the School Head

and the designated personnel of the Partner.”

In view of this, the Work Immersion Portfolio is a compilation of written works,

activities, and experiences that we have completed as a student in Work Immersion. It

contains documents which will provide tangible evidences of the wide range of

knowledge, skills, we possess as a growing professionals.

Therefore, Work Immersion portfolio determines how a student shows the faculty

that they are making progress toward achieving the stated standards or outcomes of the

work site.

INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

One of the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Program is to develop in learners the

competencies, work ethic, and values relevant to pursuing further basic education and the

nation’s development targets. Work Immersion, a required subject, has been incorporated

into the curriculum. Learners are immersed in actual work environments in which their

prior training is relevant.

Work Immersion will help develop among the learner’s life and career skills, and

will prepare them to make decisions on post secondary education or employment. It

provides an avenue to test themselves and apply what they have learned in a non-school

scenario.

In Work Immersion, learners are not only able to apply their previous training but are

also able to experience the social interactions in a work environment. Their experiences

during work immersion will develop many skills and values that would help them as they

transition from high school to real life.

NATURE OF THE
INDUSTRY
 NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY

MARIIS DAM AND RESERVOIR DIVISION - RAMON, ISABELA

HISTORY

The construction of the Magat Dam and appurtenant structures was authorized by

P.D. 693 signed on May 7, 1975 by the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos. The Dam

was constructed in 1978 and was inaugurated by President Marcos on October 27, 1982.

It started operations in 1983. The project was implemented based on the preliminary

study conducted in 1973 by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) with the

assistance of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the United States

Agency for International Development (USAID). Subsequent detailed and extensive

damsite investigation and engineering studies further confirmed the feasibility of what is

now known as NIA's most daring infrastructure project and one of Asia's biggest dams

today. The dam is part of the Magat River Multipurpose Project (MRMP) which aimed to

improve the existing Magat River Irrigation System (MARIS) and the Siffu River

Irrigation System (SIFFRIS) and increase the production of rice in the Cagayan River

basin.The project was jointly financed by the Philippine Government and the World Bank

which extended a US $50M loan to finance the foreign exchange requirement. In

addition, a US $9M from Bahrain was obtained for the purchase of

other equipment for the diversion tunnels, soils laboratory and model testing. Total

project cost is 3.4B pesos (yr. 1975). The irrigation facilities, including the reservoir, the

intake gates to the hydroelectric plant, and the dam itself, is owned and managed by the

National Irrigation Administration (NIA) while the hydroelectric plant was owned by the

National Power Corporation (Napocor). Under the Electric Power Industry Reforms Act

of 2001 (Republic Act No. 9136), the Magat Dam hydroelectric plant underwent a

privatization process. As a result, the plant's ownership and operation was turned over to

SN Aboitiz Power Inc. (SNAP), a joint venture of a local company, Aboitiz Equity

Venture (AEV), and the Norwegian SN Power Invest (SN Power) in April 2007.

IMMERSION
HIGHLIGHTS
 ESSAY BEFORE WORK IMMERSION

Every work place has set of rules, whether you’re at the job of your dreams or at a

temporary training ground of your career path.First thing to remember is to know the

nature and culture of the company. It’s important to dress appropriately for your job and

make sure it’s clean and neat.Also, arriving on time to work demonstrates commitment to

your job. Remember that school is different from work, no more excuses/ considerations.

Everyone gets frustrated from time to time at work. Even if how much tired you are, it is

always important to put a smile on your face to attract positivism .Regardless of how

you’re feeling, it’s important to stay respectful.You can show respect to supervisors by

listening to what they have to say. If you have difficulties in some things, don’t give up

easily, take it as a challenge for it will make you better, keep in mind that no one has ever

succeeded because of laziness so always push yourself to the limits.If they coach you in

an area, strive to improve. Make sure you always end up your day to learn something

new.

Keep in mind that at the workplace, strive to keep your communication

professional.Furthermore, wear your smile always. Wear it before,during, and after your

job.As long as you conduct yourself with respect and confidence, work immersion can be

fun and successful for you.Always see everyday as an opportunity towards your brighter

future and don’t forget to ask God for guidance and protection, that you may be able to

continue living tomorrow and the next days, always believe in yourself, because this is

going to be your best weapon while you are living.

 ESSAY BEFORE WORK IMMERSION

During the preparations for Work Immersion, I have always been wondering how

does it feel to be working in an office with the job you really wanted to do. It filled me up

with so much excitement and at the same time I started to feel curiosities are conquering

my mind with questions such as “will they like me if they get to know me and my

capabilities?” “Is my communication skills enough?”. Even with those, I keep on

telling myself to be calm and just be myself.

So I prepared myself starting with the documents needed for Work Immersion, I

made sure all are complete. There is a saying, “what you wear defines your personality”

that’s why I made sure that the clothes I am going to wear are properly kept in a clean

place to avoid stains and dirt on its fabric. I believe in first impression lasts therefore my

goal is to make a good impression not just with the knowledge I have but also with my

physical appearance.

I am looking forward to experience a job environment where I can apply my

learnings into practice. I hope this work immersion will help improve my skills,

knowledge and hopefully, I’ll be able to handle work and manage my time even if I’m

under pressure.

TEAM LEADER
REFLECTION
 Being a team means working with a partner or a group together to achieve faster and

better results. It means equal tasks to each members of the team in order to manage

quotas and or to finish all the things needed ahead of schedule.

During work immersion, only two of us are assigned in NIA-MARIIS DRD Office

Cashier and Finance Section. We both have the desire to learn, improve and strive that’s

why it is a relief for me as a leader because I have a partner whom I can trust with.

In the whole duration of Work Immersion, we both did our responsibilities. Even if

we are tired because of the endless recording of transactions and our hands already felt

the numbness but there’s not a day passed without us finishing our tasks.

It takes great understanding, patience and enough knowledge to last a day at work.

Fortunately, my partner and I worked hard not asking for a higher grades but because of

our commitment built to the workplace, to our supervisors and to ourselves.

Work Immersion taught us with no book-based information, it taught us why

experience is the best teacher. It may only be an 80-hours training but it will surely be a

part of who are we going to become someday.

INDIVIDUAL
REFLECTION
 Immersion period is one of the many factors wherein your ability to appreciate

essential and profitable business processes will be measured. Moreover, this is the period

wherein you are given the chance to apply all the skills and necessary attitudes that you

have learned from school.

With all that is happening throughout the world, this paper has provided me the

opportunity to reflect on my ethics. Values and ethics are part of our everyday lives. We

wake up to these values and beliefs each day as they are the “rules” that govern us. Ethics

is not just about morality; it is a complex dimension of personal and corporate life that

can lead to higher performance by both business and society. All of us especially those in

the business world, need to make immediate decisions. The choice we make need to be

driven by our ethics I was able to explore the standard ethical principles that I have

learned from religious, work, family, role models, experiences, and school, pick the most

applicable ones, refine and polish them according to my conscience.

As a work immersion student attitude is very important. Therefore, I will strive

always to be honest, straightforward, and frank with those around me.

As we have seen, respect is very essential contributor in forming a positive

work culture. So, I will also respect the rights of other people to form their own opinions

and decisions based on facts gather from me or from other sources. I will not manipulate

these outcomes. I will be steward of the files and I will also remember the confidentiality

of the records that the company may entrust to me. I will strive to communicate with

others in a way that enables and empowers them to make informed decisions. This paper

helped me recalibrate my moral compass. It has helped me construct and confront those

what-if situations. I shall not cheat in any setting (academic or business). When faced

with an unfair situations where others are cheating, I will not stoop to their level by also

cheating. I will strive to use language that is accurate, precise, and appropriate. I believe

that acting like professional really means doing what it takes to make others think of

you as
reliable, respectful, and competent. A reliable employee is the one who is always address

mistakes a soon as possible. As long as you conduct yourself with respect and

confidence, work immersion can be fun and successful for you.

Gemmalene A. Pacleb
 “Experience gives us the tests first and the lessons later.”

Work Immersion is not just about work, it is a training where we can develop and

expand our knowledge. Enhance our skills and improve our way of communication. We

may not be receiving salaries for working but we are learning from immersion.

At first, I thought working is easier than learning but it’s a lot more complicated than

that because you handle your own time, you practice your own knowledge, one wrong

move and you’ll need to start all over again.

Based from what I have had observed from the work immersion, a person must

sacrifice his her time, travel, priority and set aside emotions in order to reach his/her

goals. There’s no such thing as “break time” in work. Eat when hungry, drink water if

thirsty but one must never leave his or her office unattended.

In relation with Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM), Analyzation and

perseverance is the key to success. Knowing how to analyze transactions is a very

important feature of an accountant. What we have learned in NIA-MARIIS DRD Office

Cashier and Finance Unit are ethics inside of an office, recording of transactions, filling

of folders according to their labels, bank reconciliation, proper way of communication

with clienteles and many more that are in lined with our desired course. .

I believe those training made me realized how eager I am in becoming an accountant

someday, hopefully. If its not for me then I would likely to take courses in relation with

business and management.

DEVELOPMENT
PLANS
 I want to be a nurse. As a nurse, I will be able to use my profession anywhere in the

world. I can work with many people every day, both patients and staff. Furthermore,

nursing will allow me the flexibility to have a family. I can see myself riding a luxurious

car whenever I go to work, buying mom and dad different cars and houses, and whatever

they want.

I can also foresee myself investing my savings to different properties to secure the

future of my children. Every time I go to mall, I am no longer checking price tags

because I can afford to buy it. I can go to the places I want without worrying of the

expenses, I can afford to travel the whole world with my family and bring them to their

dream destination.

Aside from paying back the sacrifices and efforts of my parents, ten years time I can

see myself being an ideal mom of three children, and dream wife of a successful man.
