DAY 1: February 19, 2024

We needed to be at school before 6:30, wearing the proper uniform – a white shirt

and jeans, as instructed for all Electrical Installation Maintenance (EIM) and

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) students. Before we left, our school principal,

Mr. Peter R. Cannon Jr., provided motivational words and prayers for our safety and

protection. Thanks to the assistance of Mayor Emilda 'EMI' Calixto Rubiano, we

arrived at the Eduardo Duay Calixto training center.

Upon our arrival, the instructors, including the highly skilled welding instructor

Criselda Bantolo and assistant Manny Amboy Bersamin, introduced themselves.

They entrusted us with a critical task centered around HIRAC (Hazard Identification,

Risk Assessment, and Control). Afterward, we embarked on our first activity or

assignment – a 1000-word essay expressing our profound expectations and

lessons about SMAW.

In every word we wrote, our aim was to emphasize the importance of proper

preparation, dedication, and determination in studying our craft. With each

expression of our ideas and dreams, we continuously demonstrate our eagerness

to excel and succeed in the field of welding.

DAY 2: February 20, 2024

We arrived promptly at 7:50, and our initial task involved a lesson about the rules

and regulations of the Eduardo Duay Calixto training center. Following that, we

engaged in a lesson and activity centered around Hazard Identification, Risk

Assessment, and Control (HIRAC).

In the HIRAC process, the primary step is to identify potential hazards in the

workplace, necessitating a thorough examination of the work environment,

equipment, materials, and procedures. Our activity entailed spotting hazards in

provided pictures, and it was imperative for us to pay attention to address safety

concerns in the workplace, ensuring the well-being of each individual. We were

organized into groups for this task.Through this activity, individuals had the

opportunity to raise awareness of their work environment and comprehend potential

dangers that could lead to harm or accidents. A sincere thank you to Sir Allan for

providing all the necessary information and efforts to keep us safe. Also, gratitude

for the daily provision of free lunch.

DAY 3: February 21, 2024

We entered at 8 am, and our initial activity involved studying and exploring the 5

essentials and 5S in welding. The five essentials in welding - correct material,

correct electrode, correct equipment settings, correct technique, and correct safety

measures - are indispensable for achieving quality welds and ensuring the safety

and well-being of personnel. Thanks to the exceptional guidance of our proficient

instructor, Ma'am Criselda Bantolo, and her kind assistant, Sir Manny Amboy

Bersamin, we learned a great deal and applied it to our lesson, with practical

examples to reinforce our understanding. Following the enlightening discussion, we

eagerly embraced our assignment to explore into welding symbols via Google

search. With fervor, we scoured various resources, made discoveries in our

notebooks, and annotated key symbols, their meanings, and applications in welding

practice. Each symbol uncovered added a layer of comprehension, enriching our

knowledge and preparing us for the challenges ahead in our journey to master the

SMAW craft.

By attaching to these principles, we not only attain excellence in our craft but also

strengthen our understanding of the importance of every aspect of welding.

Learning about welding symbols and their applications gives us confidence and

assurance that we are ready to face the challenges that may come our way on our

professional path.

DAY 4: February 22, 2024

fourth day of our work immersion at Duay Center, we underwent

training and discussion on defects and discontinuity. Defects and

discontinuities pertain to imperfections or irregularities that can occur in

welded joints, compromising their integrity and performance.

Understanding the various types of defects and discontinuities, along with

their causes and prevention methods, is essential for producing high-

quality welds. Thanks to the expertise and experience of Ma'am Criselda,

she providenumerous valuable lessons, and we quickly absorbed the

knowledge. On this day, she also introduced us to her additional

assistant, Sir Armando Garcia Ortaleza. We engaged in group work

again, with each group tasked with scrutinizing provided images to

identify defects and discontinuities, putting our analytical skills to the test.

Among the intellectual exercise, Sir Armando Garcia Ortaleza added a

creative touch to the session with a unique activity: shadow weaving. This

playful yet insightful representation of the complexities within welding

processes provided a hands-on understanding of the subject matte

We are , Group 4, took on the role of reporters for the topics of Dye Penetrant

Inspection (DPI) and Leak Testing (LT). We collaborated and supported each other

wholeheartedly, putting in our best efforts. Everyone cooperated, recognizing the

importance of teamwork. Sir Armando Garcia Ortaleza, acknowledging the need for

a break from technical discussions, organized a lively game involving balancing

markers on paper, bringing laughter and camaraderie to the forefront. This playful

interlude served as a refreshing reminder of the value of team cohesion in our

pursuit of excellence. Following the game, we seamlessly transitioned into our roles,

putting on our personal protective equipment (PPE) for the actual training on the 4th

floor. As we ascended, our unity and determination to enhance our skills intensified,

and we developed a stronger commitment to learning. add more sentences

As the day concluded, we reflected on the valuable lessons learned, appreciating

the collaborative efforts that made our reporting successful and the interactive break

DAY 6: February 26, 2024

Today marks the first day of our actual training, where we need to listen attentively

and communicate effectively to learn and become skilled welders in the future. We

are guided by Sir Armando Garcia Ortaleza, who instructs us on the meticulous and

careful execution of 6G pipe welding. Sir Arman, drawing from his rich experience,

inspired us by explaining his interpretation of KSA—an acronym where K represents

knowledge, S denotes skills, and A embodies attitude—all deemed essential for our

upcoming test in the chosen course. We are expected to execute the task cleanly

and carefully to become proficient welders in the future, and our teachers are

dedicated to providing thorough guidance for us to learn and excel. After our actual

training, we have a lunch break from 12:00 to 1:00 PM,

After the lunch break, we eagerly returned to our assignments, determined to apply

the knowledge gained during the training session to our practical tasks. The

dedication of our teachers and the collaborative spirit within the class contribute to

a continual learning environment ·, setting the foundation for our success in the field

of welding.

DAY 7: February 27, 2024

We reflect on the importance of yesterday's lesson about 6G welding. Emphasizing the

significance of attentive listening and careful learning is needed in welding, especially in complex

positions like 6G, where focusing on every detail and using the right technique is vital for achieving

high-quality results and ensuring safety.

Guided by our dedicated instructors, Ma'am Criselda Bantolo and Sir Instructor Armando Garcia

Ortalez, we were provided with the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before

starting our practical tasks. This step underscores the meticulous care for safety and protection,

ensuring we remain safe from any danger or harm while performing 6G pipe welding.

Our careful listening to the instructions and active engagement with the material were key

elements in understanding the nuances of 6G welding. From proper electrode manipulation to

controlling the welding arc and adjusting positioning, every detail mattered in mastering this

challenging welding position.

Moreover, by proactively seeking clarification and actively engaging with the material, we

successfully internalized the concepts and techniques taught during the lesson. This proactive

approach not only enhances our learning experience but also prepares us to execute our tasks

with precision and confidence.

Ultimately, our dedication to learning and adherence to safety protocols will ensure that our work

is of the highest quality and conducted in a safe manner. With each lesson, we are one step closer

to mastering the art of welding and achieving excellence in our craft.
