COMPANY PROFILE

History

Long ago our town was not known by the name it is called today. It was then

called "GITNANG PULO” because it is located at the center of the different settlements

that were located within the area. The name "GITNANG PULO" was later changed to

"MASILAW" due to the abundance of trees called "DAPDAP" that bears bright-red

flowers. When it blooms, the leaves fall off, and the bright color of its flowers produce

glare, which we called in tagalong "NAKAKASILAW". It makes the word shorter; it

was reduced to "MASILAO". During this time, Masilaw was a wilderness, where big

trees covered with vines and thick underbrush, constitute the major portion of the place.

It was then the favorite hunting ground of wild pigs and birds from the neighboring
 6

barrios. So, the people of Masilaw under the leadership of Cabez Feliciano Ramos,

Cabeza Honorio Bayot, Cabeza Pedro Tibayan and Cabeza Husto Ambion work for the

separation of Amadeo from Silang. Their petition was granted and on July 15, 1872,

Amadeo became a separate town.

During this time the head of a town was not called mayor but Cabeza de

Barangay. By popular vote Mr. Honorio Bayot became the first Cabeza de Barangay of

Masilaw, who served from 1884 to 1885. This was followed by Pedro Tibayan who

served from 1886 to 1887. Then comes Cabeza Feliciano Ramos who served from 1888

to 1889. This was followed by Just Ambion who served from 1890 to 1891. Again,

Cabeza Feliciano Ramos was elected and served from 1892 to 1893 and finally Cabeza

Monico Ramos Who served from 1894 to 1896 during the Philippine Revolution. But

the independence of Amadeo as a town lasted up to the latter part of 1896 when

Philippine Revolution began. For the past 20 years Masilaw was recognized as a town,

but toward the end of 1904 a provincial reorganization was made. In this reorganization

plan, smaller towns were made a part of the bigger towns to make the administration

easier. So, from 1904 to 1914 Masilaw was again a barrio of Silang. The people of

Masilaw resented this action of the authorities because they knew the hardship that they

would suffer once more. So, all the influential persons of Masilaw joined the movement

to regain the lost status of their town. Among those who spearheaded the movement

were Mr. Geronimo Bayot, Mr. Primo Villanueva, Mr. Leoncio Ramos, Mr. Andres

Baybay and Mr. Felix Bebe.

They appealed to Governor Ladislaw Diwa who was then the Civil Governor of

Cavite to separate Amadeo from Silang. It was only in 1915 of after 11 years of

continued pleading that Masilaw was made a separate town. A majority vote of the

Municipal Council made Mr. Jeronimo Bayot as the first president of the Municipality
 7

of Amadeo. The inauguration was a colorful one. Everybody seemed to be happy for at

last they were free to govern themselves. It happened that the inauguration of the town

concedes with the birthday of Prince Amadeo of Savoy, the second son of the king of

Italy and the present king of Spain.

So, to perpetuate the memory of the beloved prince Masilaw was named

Amadeo in honor of Prince Amadeo of Spain. Mr. Rufino Villanueva who was then a

clerk in the treasurer's office supervised the transfer of all records and important

documents to the Municipality of Amadeo.

The new town was composed of 10 barrios with a total land area of 5,013

hectares. During all these years, Reverend Father dela Fiesta was the Parish Priest of

Amadeo. He donated the town plaza where to erect the municipal building. After

several years in Amadeo, Father dela Fiesta was transferred to another town and Rev.

Father Castillo Nunez was assigned in Amadeo. Father Nunez was the one who planned

the población of Amadeo, which served as the basis of our development plan of the

población today. In 1937, the Congress of the Philippines passed a law creating the City

of Tagaytay. Under its charter 300 hectares will be taken from Maitim, 300 hectares

from Kaybagal and 200 hectares from Talon or a total of 800 hectares will be taken

from Amadeo. So, the original area of 4,750 Hectares granted to Amadeo was reduced

to 3, 950 hectares, which is the present area of Amadeo.

Pre-Work Immersion Orientation Narrative Essay

Immersing Oneself to a New Environment

On September 27, 2023, Wednesday, the orientation for the work immersion of

Grade 12 STEM - Del Mundo took place particularly in the ICT Room, Grade 12

Building. This orientation solely for the purpose of having a brief introduction, as well

as clarifying the guidelines that should be followed within the work immersion, was

then led by Ms. Mayette B. Pia.

The meeting served as the commencement, with regards to the work immersion,

as Ms. Pia tackled about the significant characteristics that a student should have in

order to deliver quality service to the institution or company that he/she will be

deployed or assigned to. These characteristics include discipline, reliability,

professionalism, and work ethic. Aside from discussing these traits, the rules and

regulations within the work immersion venue were also put into dialogue. These rules

and regulations were put into the minds of the students, serving as a significant tool in

being knowledgeable, holding accountability, as well as responsibility within oneself

and the work immersion they are committed to—also considering the traits that were

discussed previously. Apart from this, Ms. Pia have given some lectures about work

ethic and why is it exactly important to have that as the work immersion succeeds.

Profoundly explaining the qualities, attributes, and personality traits that a student

should have in order to be considered as one who possesses the strong stance for work

ethic. Whilst the orientation went on, the confidentiality within the work place was then

placed into the discussion.

 11

The students were given the time to comprehend how it is therefore important

to understand the nature of confidentiality, and how to ensure that they comply with

legal or ethical guidelines, including the time when to break the confidentiality that they

have. Safety tips are also important in taking crucial notes about the work immersion

as accidents and common safety issues tend to occur at times without control. Knowing

safety measures in the workplace should provide the students with enough assistance

and guidance to help them get through the work immersion without any complications,

physically and mentally. Yet of course, aside from the safety tips, it is better to be ready

when a certain conflict arises, especially when one cannot unfortunately avoid it due to

some circumstances. Therefore, what the students needed to know about effective

conflict resolution and teamwork skills were then also put into their minds by their

lecturer. The concept made them discern that when there is conflict, it’s important to

understand how to navigate and resolve it effectively.

As all of these matters were discussed, the students were able to gather ample

information about what they needed to know, do, and understand about the whole work

immersion that they will be undergoing. It was evident that the students are grateful as

they were given the chance to have the opportunity to listen and relate to what Ms. Pia

tackled about. It is in fact now ensured that the orientation will serve its purpose to help

them walk towards the workplace with ease, while also having wisdom in their minds.

JOURNAL

WEEK 1 (February 5-6, 2024)

Day 1

On the 5th of February, we began our immersion at the Municipal Hall of Amadeo,

specifically in the Rural Health Unit where I’m currently assigned. Before reaching our

destination, my fellow immersion workers and I walked there since it wasn’t far. Upon arrival

at the Municipal Hall, Ma’am Ayette B. Pia dropped us off, and we were promptly

accommodated by the working personnel. After a brief orientation, outlining the guidelines for

the work immersion, we were deployed to our designated places. Inside the RHU, we met

Doctor Melinda Villanueva, who acquainted herself with us through interviews and by

reviewing our resumes. When we were grouped and assigned to our stations, I felt excited,

especially since I was assigned to the laboratory and the Doctor’s Office. Before proceeding
 18

with our tasks, we reintroduced ourselves to the other personnel inside. I was paired with

Audrey Anne G. Cabrera in the laboratory, and we were given a tour by Ma’am Gina Bautista,

who introduced us to the equipment used for various tests. We were informed that we would

gain hands-on experience with tasks such as prick tests and blood smearing. Afterward, we

were informed that we would commence work the next day. We spent the rest of our time in a

corner before excusing ourselves for an early lunch and timeout.

Day 2

On the second day of our work immersion, we were greeted by Doctor Melinda

Villanueva, who shared her experiences in consultations and insights about working as a health

worker for the government. I was assigned to the frontlines today, where Ma’am Gina Bautista

taught me to measure patients' blood pressure and perform Random Blood Pressure tests.

Today’s duty was special as it was the first time the Rural Health Unit catered to pregnant

women delivering their babies. Unfortunately, the two pregnant women who delivered their

babies arrived late at the delivery room, so they ended up giving birth at the front spot of the

Municipal Hall. Afterward, I attended to taking the blood pressure of each patient before having

lunch, which was permitted by our facilitator. Returning to my desk after lunch, there weren't

many patients left to serve. Eventually, I went to the front desk where Doctor Melinda was, and

observed her tasks, including acupuncture and birth control replacement. After that, as the

working hours approached closing time, there were no more patients left, and Doctor Melinda

allowed us to leave at exactly 5 pm.

Learning Insight

On my initial day of work immersion at the Rural Health Unit, I gained significant

insights into the importance of meticulous attention to detail. This heightened awareness

facilitated my retention of essential information concerning the equipment used for various
 19

laboratory procedures, including urinalysis, dengue testing, and phlegm analysis, among others,

administered by professionals such as (Name). Noteworthy among these apparatuses were the

GeneXpert machine, instrumental in expediting sample analysis, alongside the automated

microscope and centrifuge. I also acquired firsthand knowledge of the critical protocols

governing sample handling, emphasizing the necessity of refrigeration to prevent spoilage

during testing intervals. Additionally, my observation of the diligent and task-oriented

demeanor exhibited by the facility's staff underscored the significance of cultivating similar

attributes within myself, a commitment I am dedicated to refining throughout the duration of

my immersion. Recognizing the ongoing learning curve ahead, I am motivated to exert diligent

effort and assume responsibility for every task entrusted to me. Reflecting on the day's

experiences, I internalized the poignant advice imparted during orientation— that my efficacy

in public service hinges upon the wholehearted dedication I invest in my work, a principle I

wholeheartedly embrace and endeavor to uphold. Today, my insights feel particularly enriched

as a result of immersing myself in hands-on tasks, crucial not only for acing our practical exam

but also for honing skills vital to my future profession. Through these tasks, I've absorbed

invaluable lessons in patience, accountability, and a deepened sense of compassion for patients.

Moreover, I've expanded my skill set, mastering techniques like obtaining blood pressure

readings using a non-automatic Sphygmomanometer and conducting Random Blood Pressure

tests with precision through specialized testing kits. These experiences not only enhance my

proficiency but also reinforce my dedication to delivering exceptional care in my chosen field.

I’ve also seen patients who were taken care of professionally by Doctor Melinda Villanueva

and observed how proficient she is with her work, especially in acupuncture.

WEEK 2 (February 12-13, 2024)

Day 1

The day commenced with the Flag Raising Ceremony, symbolizing our

commitment to service and unity. Following this, I had a brief yet enlightening meeting with

Dra. Melinda Villanueva, gaining valuable insights into the inner workings of our healthcare
 20

facility. Transitioning to sorting and stacking medicine inventory, I engaged in the essential

process of organizing and cataloging pharmaceutical supplies, crucial for seamless patient care.

As the morning progressed, I delved deeper into inventory management, meticulously cross-

referencing labels and quantities to maintain accuracy. Our midday break provided a welcome

opportunity for nourishment and socialization, recharging our energy for the tasks ahead.

Returning to inventory duties, I navigated through medication shelves, methodically arranging

and documenting each item. Amidst the hustle and bustle, a brief respite allowed for reflection

and relaxation before diving back into the task at hand. As the day drew to a close, I ensured

the workspace was tidy, maintaining a clean and organized environment for the next day's

activities. Each task, whether ceremonial or practical, contributed to upholding the standards of

excellence within our healthcare institution.

Day 2

Today's immersion began promptly at 8:00 AM as I arrived at the laboratory and logged

into the daily time record system. The morning was dedicated to conducting routine checks on

laboratory equipment, ensuring optimal condition for the day ahead. By 10:00 AM, I

transitioned into standby mode, remaining attentive to incoming messages and emails, ready to

respond promptly to any urgent requests or updates. At 11:30 AM, I took a well-deserved lunch

break, stepping away from the laboratory to recharge with a refreshing walk outside. Returning

at 12:30 PM, I assisted with laboratory appointments for the remainder of the afternoon.

Guiding patients through procedures and ensuring their experience was seamless and

comfortable was my priority until 3:00 PM when I took a brief break. Back on standby from

3:00 PM until the end of the workday at 5:00 PM, I remained available for any last-minute

assistance or queries. As the day concluded, I logged out, ensuring all end-of-day tasks were

completed and the laboratory was properly secured.

Learning Insight
 21

Today's schedule revealed a noticeable decrease in patient visits compared to typical

Mondays at the Rural Health Unit. This observation led me to ponder the behavior of

individuals seeking medical attention, suggesting a preference for early-week appointments.

Witnessing patients proactively addressing their health concerns reinforced the notion that

prevention is indeed better than cure. Additionally, the significance of accessible health

facilities within our community was highlighted, offering convenience and affordability,

particularly for those with limited mobility or financial resources. In conclusion, today's

experiences underscored the importance of proactive healthcare practices and the vital role of

community health facilities in promoting overall well-being.

WEEK 3 (February 19-20, 2024)

Day 1

The day began with the Flag Raising Ceremony, serving as a poignant reminder

of the values of unity and patriotism underlying our work. Gathering with my colleagues, I felt

a sense of pride as we honored our country's flag together. Following this, I meticulously

recorded my attendance in the daily time record log, emphasizing the importance of discipline

and responsibility in our workplace. Soon, I found myself on duty for laboratory assistance

alongside Ma’am Gina Bautista, a seasoned professional whose expertise was invaluable in

medical diagnostics. Under her mentorship, I engaged in various tasks, from learning to read

hematocrit levels to mastering the technique of centrifuging urine samples. Throughout the day,

my focus shifted to patient care as I assisted with laboratory appointments, ensuring each patient

received the attention and support they needed. These interactions reinforced the importance of

empathy and compassion in healthcare delivery. During our lunch break, I took a moment to

recharge and reflect on the morning's activities before returning to work with renewed energy.

In the afternoon, I continued my duties with a focus on acquiring random blood sugar

measurements from patients and assisting with any additional tasks. As the day concluded, I

reflected on the multitude of tasks and interactions that filled my day, recognizing the rewarding

feeling of making a difference in the lives of others.

 22

Day 2

My day commenced promptly at 7:50 AM as I cleaned up the station, ensuring

everything was organized and sterile for the day ahead. Updating the Daily Time Record Log

at 7:55 AM was crucial for documenting the team's presence and responsibilities. From 8:05 to

8:30 AM, I remained on standby, ready to jump into action at a moment's notice. At 8:30 AM,

I performed the task of blood pricking a patient for a hematocrit count, paying close attention

to detail to ensure accurate results. Following that, I centrifuged the blood sample from 8:35 to

8:40 AM, separating its components for analysis. Checking the hematocrit count of the patient

was my next priority, ensuring the results were within the expected range and flagging any

concerns. Another standby period allowed me to stay prepared for any unexpected

developments. My midday break from 12:00 to 1:00 PM provided a welcome chance to

recharge for the afternoon. At 1:00 PM, I focused on viewing the swab test results for COVID-

19 of a patient, a crucial step in our diagnosis and management efforts. The afternoon was filled

with various patient care duties, documentation tasks, and maintaining cleanliness in the

environment. Wrapping up the day with a final standby period from 4:30 to 5:00 PM ensured

all loose ends were tied up for the next shift. Throughout, my adherence to protocols and

procedures remained steadfast, ensuring the highest standards of care and professionalism in

our healthcare setting.

Learning Insight

These two days provided valuable insights into the intricacies and demands of working

in a healthcare laboratory setting. The importance of teamwork and mentorship was

emphasized, as collaborating with seasoned professionals like Ma’am Gina Bautista allowed

for hands-on learning and skill development. Observing and practicing tasks under her guidance

instilled a deeper understanding of laboratory procedures and the meticulous attention to detail

required. Additionally, the human aspect of healthcare shone through in interactions with
 23

patients, highlighting the significance of empathy and compassion in healthcare delivery. The

routines and tasks described underscored the need for discipline, responsibility, and

adaptability, from recording attendance to performing technical procedures like blood pricking

and centrifuging. Standby periods emphasized the need to be prepared for unexpected

situations, showcasing the dynamic nature of healthcare work. Furthermore, the significance of

continuous learning and staying updated with protocols, such as COVID-19 testing procedures,

was evident. These experiences reinforced the multifaceted nature of healthcare work,

combining technical expertise with interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a commitment to

providing high-quality patient care. Through these insights, healthcare professionals can

continually strive to enhance their practice and contribute effectively to their teams and the

well-being of their patients.

WEEK 4 (March 4-5, 2024)

Day 1

For today's work immersion, our day was filled with a variety of tasks and experiences

that truly encapsulated the multifaceted nature of healthcare. Our morning began with the

meticulous process of sorting through patient records to identify those scheduled for follow-up

diagnoses and check-ups at the clinic. While this task posed its challenges, particularly in

matching names to specific dates, perseverance prevailed as we ensured accuracy in our

records. As the day progressed, I found myself undertaking various responsibilities, starting

with conducting Random Blood Pressure (RBS) measurements for a patient. Despite initial

apprehensions, the procedure went smoothly, highlighting the importance of precision and care

in every task undertaken within a medical setting. Transitioning to the vital signs corner, I

patiently awaited patients requiring Blood Pressure (BP) checks, observing the steady flow of

individuals seeking medical attention. Amidst the hustle and bustle, I remained vigilant, ready

to assist wherever needed.

However, the pinnacle of the day came when I was summoned to the delivery room,

where a pregnant woman awaited the arrival of her newborn. Alongside my colleagues and

under the guidance of Ma’am Cristy Villanueva, we stood witness to the miracle of birth, a

profound and humbling experience. The privilege of being entrusted with the care of both

mother and child during such a momentous occasion left an indelible mark on my journey in

healthcare. Following the birth, I seamlessly transitioned into postpartum care, tending to the

mother's needs with sensitivity and compassion. From changing diapers to monitoring vital

signs, each task was executed with the utmost attention to detail, reflecting our commitment to

providing comprehensive care. During lunch, amidst moments of respite, I reflected on the

events of the day, grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work. In the

afternoon, my colleague and I resumed our duties, diligently monitoring the vital signs of both

mother and baby until the conclusion of our shift. As the day drew to a close, we engaged in

the necessary cleanup tasks, ensuring the clinic remained a safe and hygienic environment for

all. With a sense of fulfillment and gratitude, we bid farewell to our supervisors, reflecting on

the invaluable experiences gained and the lives touched throughout the day.

Day 2

The day unfolded with the routine task of filling out the Daily Time Record Log,

ensuring accurate documentation of our presence and activities. Following this administrative

duty, we entered a standby mode, remaining prepared for any unforeseen tasks or emergencies

that may arise. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we took a well-deserved lunch break, providing a

brief respite to recharge and refuel for the remainder of the day. Post-lunch, another period of

standby ensued, allowing us to remain flexible and responsive to changing circumstances. As

the afternoon progressed, we took on the responsibility of passing important documents to the

office, ensuring seamless communication and workflow within the organization. Another

standby period followed, underscoring the importance of readiness and adaptability in our work
 25

environment. Overall, the day was characterized by a blend of routine tasks, moments of rest,

and preparedness for any challenges that came our way.

Learning Insight

Reflecting on this week’s work immersion, I gained invaluable insights into the

multifaceted world of healthcare. The days began with the meticulous task of organizing patient

records, where I encountered the challenge of matching names to specific dates. Despite initial

difficulties, I persevered, recognizing the importance of attention to detail in ensuring accurate

records. Throughout the days of the immersion, I found myself undertaking various

responsibilities, from conducting Random Blood Pressure measurements to assisting in vital

sign monitoring. Each task reinforced the necessity of adaptability in responding to the diverse

needs of patients and colleagues alike. However, the highlight of the day came when I was

summoned to the delivery room to assist a pregnant woman in labor. Standing alongside my

colleagues, we bore witness to the miracle of birth under the guidance of Ma’am Cristy

Villanueva. This profound experience underscored the importance of empathy and compassion

in providing holistic care to patients during their most vulnerable moments.

Following the birth, I seamlessly transitioned into postpartum care, tending to the

mother's needs with sensitivity and care. From changing diapers to monitoring vital signs, each

action was imbued with a sense of responsibility and dedication to providing comprehensive

care. As the day drew to a close, I reflected on the gratitude I felt for the opportunity to

contribute to such meaningful work. This week’s experiences served as a reminder of the

importance of teamwork, professionalism, and gratitude in the healthcare profession. Each

encounter, whether mundane or extraordinary, offered valuable lessons and insights that will

undoubtedly shape my journey in healthcare for years to come.

WEEK 5 (March 11-12, & 15 2024)

Day 1
 26

The day began with attending the Flag Raising Ceremony, a time to come together and

show our pride as a team. Following that, we entered a standby mode, staying alert and ready

for any unexpected tasks or events. After a well-deserved lunch break, we dove into sorting and

organizing consultation papers and documents, making sure everything was in order for future

reference. This task required attention to detail and teamwork to ensure efficiency in our

workflow.

Later in the afternoon, we focused on the essential task of hazard disposal, prioritizing safety

within our workspace. With everyone pitching in, we ensured that potential risks were

minimized, creating a safer environment for all. Another standby period followed, allowing us

to remain flexible and responsive to any last-minute needs that may arise. Overall, it was a

productive day filled with diverse activities, highlighting our teamwork and commitment to

excellence.

Day 2

The day kicked off with setting up the Consultation Table, a task aimed at preparing a

conducive environment for discussions and decision-making. Following this, we prioritized

safety by tackling the disposal of hazards, ensuring a secure workspace for all team members.

Afterward, it was time for a well-deserved lunch break, providing an opportunity to recharge

and refuel for the tasks ahead.

Post-lunch, another round of hazard disposal was carried out, emphasizing our commitment to

maintaining a safe working environment. Subsequently, we entered a standby mode, remaining

vigilant and ready to respond to any unforeseen circumstances or urgent matters that may arise.

This dynamic approach to task management ensured that we remained adaptable and prepared

for whatever the day may bring.

 27

Day 3

After our classroom session, we proceeded to the Rural Health Unit (RHU) for our

practical examinations. Upon arrival, we were divided into three groups, each comprising four

members, including the second batch of immersion students. The practical exam entailed

conducting Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) tests and Blood Pressure (BP) measurements on

our assigned partners. Working collaboratively within our groups, we diligently carried out the

CBG and BP tests, ensuring precise and accurate measurements. This hands-on practice

equipped us with practical skills and enabled us to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in

our classes to real-world situations. Alongside the practical exam, Dr. Villanueva, our

supervisor, offered valuable insights and reminders. Her guidance emphasized the importance

of professionalism, accuracy, and empathy in our interactions with patients, reinforcing our role

as healthcare providers. Overall, the practical exam at the RHU provided us with a valuable

learning opportunity to showcase our proficiency in essential medical procedures while

receiving constructive feedback and mentorship from our supervisor.

Learning Insight

The tasks I provided offer valuable learning insights across several areas. Firstly, they

underscore the importance of task prioritization, as I arranged activities such as attending

ceremonies, organizing documents, and ensuring workspace safety based on urgency and

importance. Secondly, there's a clear emphasis on safety awareness, as I repeatedly focused on

hazard disposal, recognizing and addressing potential hazards promptly to ensure the well-

being of my team members. Additionally, the inclusion of standby periods emphasized the

necessity of flexibility and adaptability in the workplace, as being prepared to switch tasks or

respond to unforeseen events demonstrated resilience and the ability to thrive in dynamic

situations. Lastly, the tasks also highlighted the importance of team collaboration, as activities

like setting up consultation tables and organizing documents likely required effective teamwork

to accomplish efficiently.

WEEK 6 (March 19, 2024)

Day 1

For today’s immersion, me and my colleagues filled up the time that we haven’t been

able to complete during the time when we ran for errands on the first day. Throughout the day,

I assisted Dra. Melinda Villanueva by taking patient details at the front desk, ensuring a smooth

and organized process for consultations. This involved gathering vital information and

managing patient records effectively. Following the morning session, I took a well-deserved

lunch break to recharge before returning to the front desk for consultations. Here, I engaged

with patients, addressing their concerns, and providing necessary guidance and information to

facilitate their healthcare journey.

In the afternoon, I had the opportunity to observe acupuncture procedures, broadening

my understanding of alternative medical practices and their application in patient care. This

hands-on experience allows me to witness the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture and its

integration into holistic treatment approaches. Additionally, I remained on standby throughout

the day, ready to assist with any tasks or emergencies that may arise, ensuring the smooth

operation of the medical facility and the comfort of patients under our care.

Learning Insight

As the final day of my work immersion ended, I realized that even things were

overwhelming and exhausting in the beginning, everything’s all worth it and fortunately paid

off through the fulfillment and compassion that I felt and received. I learned throughout my

work immersion experience how important it is to have passion and dedication in what you do.

In order for me to properly serve and deliver care to other people, I must be someone who

displays perseverance, patience, and responsibility. Through my experience of taking patient

details at the front desk with Dra. Melinda Villanueva, I've gained valuable insights into the

importance of thorough record-keeping and patient interaction. Engaging directly with patients
 29

has taught me the significance of empathy and clear communication in healthcare delivery.

Each interaction offers an opportunity to build trust and rapport, essential elements for effective

patient care. Moreover, observing acupuncture procedures has expanded my understanding of

complementary therapies and their role in holistic wellness. Witnessing the positive impact of

acupuncture firsthand underscores the importance of integrating diverse treatment modalities

to meet patients' unique needs. Overall, this experience has reinforced the value of continuous

learning and interdisciplinary collaboration in providing comprehensive healthcare services.
