Work exposure
March 4, 2019
I, Janel M. Orticio, a Grade 12 student of Pio Duran National High School is
assigned to undergo work exposure at Municipal Department of Social Welfare
and Development (MSWD), municipality of Pioduran. Way back February 29,
2019, Friday, our respective teachers conducted an orientation about the work
exposure we are about to explore, starting March 4-8, 2019.
Today is our first day of work exposure. All of the Grade 12 students under
General Academic Strand (GAS) are gathered first in our school to check the
attendance in order to assists us to our respectable department. Mrs. Carla Marie
Sariola and Mr. John Nuada patiently joined us to walk. We arrived around 8:00 in
the morning at the office of MSWD. Every entity are given a number to maintain
the fairness in assisting them on what they need, and we got 21st on the line.
We've waited for almost 3 hours due to the lots of entities that Mrs. Mercedes
Napa need to accommodate. After the long wait, Mrs. Sariola and Mr. Nuada are
on the ground to endorse us to Mrs. Mercedes Napa. After the discussion between
them, our teachers left us and let the care of MSWD handle us. Minutes after,
curiosity and excitement triggered us, as we entered the office of Mrs. Mercedes
Napa. She oriented us, she discussed the history of MSWD, the MSWD is under
the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) that the
government, specifically the Code 1991 ordain to focus on the needs of one
locality. She also discussed the duty and responsibilities of employees or the
department itself, including the programs, such as the Child Welfare that focuses
on the survival, participation, protection, and development - education and
physical and emotional and/or cognitive aspect, Women's Welfare Program that
relies upon to solo parent and Kalipi program, Senior Citizen, social pensioners
under the age of 60 years old and above but there are basis in order to be one of
the beneficiaries, and PWD'S or Persons with disabilities which are assisted by
educational assistance, medical, transportation, burial, and emergency assistance.
She also let us introduce ourselves together with our personal information such
that address, parent's name, age, and status. The orientation goes well because she
discusses with so much sincerity and a little bit of joyous talk that makes us feel
comfortable. She also plans the onward tasks that we are about to do later, for
tomorrow and the day after it. Mrs. Mercedes Napa and together with our second
emotion or agreement, we decided to visit and do an observation in the National
Child Development Center, with our vision to know the style or methodology of
the teacher and also to socialize with pre-kindergarten students. On Tuesday, we
are going to visit the Day Care Center of La Medalla, for us to make a comparison
of the two teaching styles and classroom management. On Wednesday, we are
planning to visit the SPED class in Pioduran West Central School. On Thursday,
we are tasks to attend the meeting in Pabahay. Hopeful to settle with that kind of
plan. But before we undergo, Mrs. Mercedes Napa or the other employee needs to
make a letter of permission for us to conduct an observation. She also asked if
what time we are going to check out - on what time we are going to take our lunch.
And we decided to take our lunch at 11:30 and out at 4:00 in the afternoon. For me,
she's very nice and approachable, and with this I know our work exposure will be
exciting and there's a lot to explore around the municipality of Pioduran and this
will taught us experiences, lessons and self-experimentation. After the orientation,
she guides us to the National Child Development Center to discussed some of the
things that we should do later. Then, she let us take our lunch and reminds us to go
back at 1:00 and sign in to the logbook.
I arrived at exactly 12:30, and we decided to sign in to the logbook and settled
ourselves inside the National Child Development Center. I observed that the
facilities are good and complete for the needs of every pupils, they have their
cabinet for the things of their pupils and a set of mini stage plus the small sound
system that was suitable to the pupils. The pre-kindergarten pupils arrived one by
one. They produced so much noise but they're noise is inclined with intelligence. I
salute Mr. Arnel M. Rosco, National Child Development Teacher, because he
teaches with patience with his 42 pre-kindergarten 2 pupils. He discussed his
lessons through the use of whiteboard and give a piece of bond paper to his pupils
to do their part of learning. He let us help him to entertained and teach his pupils
and it makes my heart melts as they are bubbly smiling towards us, calling us Ate
and Kuya. The whole session with group of pupils marks my lips with a smile for
the whole 3 hours. Mr. Arnel Rosco is a teacher with passion, first impression I
have taught about him because his willingness shines towards each of his pupils.
The pupils may be too hard to ask to behave but I am grateful that children like
them are disciplined because they interact with courteous behavior and they
happily joining our picture taking. The pupils are really approachable to us. After
the fun session with kids, we go back to the MSWD office. Mrs. Mercedes Napa
let us do our documentation and reflection in our first day of work exposure for
the remaining time. When time ticks at 4:00, we decided to fill out the log out
corner of the paper so that we can end our work exposure and take a rest and ready
ourselves for tomor

I arrived at 7:30 in the Municipal Department of Social Welfare and
Development Office (MSWDO). We've waited for our co-students to arrive in
order to compose ourselves for our next exposure. When the attendance is
completed, two of the employees assist and drive us to the department, half of us
ride on the tricycle and the others are on the cart owned by the municipality of
Pioduran. We arrived at La Medalla Day Care Service around 8:30. Mrs. Editha R.
Binvenuto, the Child Development Worker welcomed us and introduced to her
pupils. The discussion is already started before we arrived, the first tasks I've
observed to her teaching methods and strategies is the disciplinary action - she
tasks them to put their hands on their knee so that they can listen to her discussion
well. She also uses educational materials (books and things) to demonstrate clearly
the lessons to further understand the ideas being taught about the living and nonliving things. Through the use of drawings, the pupils are attached to her to listen.
The pupils are actively participating onto her. After the snack time of the children,
Mrs. Editha Binvenuto continue her lesson by storytelling, then she asked
questions about the story and the pupils actively answered her with disciplined.
The story is covered with moral lessons, and it's a good factor to develop the
children's attitude. Afterwards, it's her pupils do the learning process, she let them
draw and color their artwork. Then, do the board work, and it's an active approach
to measure the learning adaptation of her pupils. She checked every works of the
pupils, and give a mark, a star mark to congratulate their utmost participation. Her
kind of giving awards like this, really mean to the children as they are approaching
us with wide smile, it symbolizes a good and positive results. After that Mrs.
Editha Binvenuto give an assignment to her pupils. A sincere salute to Mrs. Editha
Binvenuto because she manages to handle 60 Day Care Children, but the number
of upcoming graduates is only 45, due to the age of them. Around 11:00, the two
employees and Mr. Mark, the head of Day Care Services accompanied us to go
back to MSWDO. The remaining time was consumed to do our documentation
and reflection about our assessment to the department.
We go back to the MSWDO at exactly 12:30. 1:00, we go back to the
National Child Development Center, the department that we observed yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. starts her discussion with prayer, followed by a song and dance
exercises that pupils actively participated. She continue the lessons yesterday that
Mr. Arnel Rosco discussed. She also let us help the children to do their work. The
discussion goes well while we are doing a mini boat made of papers that they are
about to use tomorrow for their activity. She also practiced their pupils to do their
graduation rights. The class was ended by a prayer. 3 hours being with
approachable children must be treasured. My journey here at the National Child
Development Center is enjoyable and it makes me feel a child again, it gives me
an idea on how the Day Care Teacher does, such as to patiently teach their
children. The remaining time was used to formulate our observations.
Work Exposure
March 6, 2019
We've visited the SPED class or the Special Education Resource Room at
the Pioduran West Central School (PWCS) supervised by Mrs. Ma. Isabel Y. Del
Mundo. She accommodates us with her warm welcomed and assisted us to sit
comfortably and observed to her 20 special pupils. Overall Mrs. Del Mundo have
35 special pupils but sadly the others are absent. The PWCS has the regular
special pupils of 52 from Grade 1-4. The program is named as the Learners with
Special Educational Needs (LSEN's). The class of Mrs. Del Mundo is composed
of individuals which has the Difficulty in seeing (Visually impaired), which has
the two classifications, regular blind and multiple disabilities with visual
impairment, Difficulty in Remembering and Concentrating (Intellectually
Disabled), which has levels such as Level I, Level II, Transition program, and
Down syndrome, and Difficulty in Hearing (Hearing Impaired). I admire Mrs.
Del Mundo for having a long patience considering that she handles different
PWD's with different behavior. Different disabilities need to be accommodated so
that they can learn. The special child which has the difficulty in seeing (Visually
Impaired) uses the Braille, while special child which has difficulty in hearing
(Hearing Impaired) uses the sign language to clearly understand the discussions.
The special children are easy to discipline to behaved. They are also actively
participating in the discussions. Although there's one special child which has
multiple disabilities with visual impairment that is suffering from tantrums that's
why her behavior can't handle in just a blink of command. She's interacting with
us, but sometimes she got the loud shocking voice that made us shivered and
nervous, and imaginations are continuously bothering our mind - what if she got
mad with us and hurt us not intentionally. Mrs. Del Mundo told her a couple of
times to sit down on her proper sit but still she always stands up and later, she will
shout out something and laugh. Half of my emotions pity them, and half is invaded
by nervousness. The teaching strategies and methods are different from normal
classes, Mrs. Del Mundo attached herself with kinds of methodology such as sign
languages, braille and personal approaches. When the children are busy eating, we
grab the chance to interview Mrs. Del Mundo about her pupils. We ended our
observations with the picture taking on them as well as wit Mrs. Del Mundo.
In the afternoon, we gather in the office of Mrs. Mercedes Napa and read our
observations. I am thankful that she likes our report though she gave an advice to
moreover improve our reporting. The next reporting, she wants us to have an eye
to eye contact with people that we are reporting and as well as to the people that
are watching toward us. She reminded us to review our notes to successfully
complete the revisions and have a book to knew new words per day. She also
reminded us to expel posting about the SPED class because we may be accused.
She wants us to have an observation and documentation for their department to
compare the last working exposure students and the present and evaluate if they
accommodate each of us well. Indeed, I am grateful and satisfied of their
accompany because she let us observe in different facilities of MSWD department.
It is a heart-whelming feeling that Mrs. Napa is a little bit sad due to the short
period of time of our exposure. But she said that what matters most is the
adaptation of learnings, the ideal of being educated and committed to works.
Mrs. Mercedes Napa settled our activity for tomorrow, we are tasks to attend
the meeting "Housing Resettlement Orientation" at the Pabahay, that will be
oriented by Provincial Government of Albay (PGA). Governor of Albay is also
attending, to see the progress of Livelihood Project in regard to Housing Project.
She also wants us to introduce ourselves for tomorrow's activity, in order to add
our social exposure and continue strengthening our disciplined. Hopeful to do our
job well to satisfied ourselves' eagerness and the expectations of Mrs. Napa and
her Departmen

Protection System and Child Safe Guarding where it holds not only children
below 18 but also children above 18 that are mentally and physically disabled. She

shows and publication, and other acts neglect, abuse, cruelty or exploitation, and
other conditions prejudicial to the child development. She also discussed the
Principle of Confidentiality and Housing Profiling such as the CSAP 1, CSAP 2,
Anahaw, and Mapping or new settlers. We also gained information that the
Pabahay starts when Typhoon Reming devastated their homes. After this, we unite
ourselves to prepare snacks to the people attended the meeting and also to our
respective employees of MSWDO.
When the visitors arrived, we officially started our program at 10:30, our cowork exposure student Justine Repolona lead the prayer, followed by National
Anthem lead also by our co-work exposure student Alonica Mae Ojo. The first
speaker is the President of CSAP batch 1, then Mrs. Napa do the small talk,
followed by the representative of Provincial Human Settlement Office, Engineer
Gina Paz. There are 67 Resettlement Sites that they are working out and they are
planning to have a program "Home Owners Association". She also reminds the
household owners to engage and let their willingness commit to this program.
They may be the last resettlement site that they introduced this program, but she
said that the batch are not the least but the best and many. The next discussant is
Mr. Albert Gutierrez, the representative of Albay Provincial Agriculture Office
(APAO), he discussed about the Albay Family Based Program, the program
started on 2017, specifying the Gulayan sa Barangay and Gulayan sa Paaralan,
which is based from Organic Vegetable Production and/or Vertical Gardening. He

discussed about the Chicken Farming, primarily the native chickens, individuals
who are willing to own a poultry farm should have a space or lot. The chicken that
will be given to them are about 3 1/2 months old, if they are given 5 chickens, they
will also returned 5 chickens to cycle the production to other entities. Last
discussant is Ms. Angel Pamplona, representative of Albay Veterinary Office, she
discussed the Responsible Pet Ownership which includes anti-rabies and
vaccination. Later, they will conduct this to every household pet owners. Again,
the floor is with Engineer Gina Paz, she commands them to list their name on the
program they want to assist or have, so that she can work on it very soon. After the
long discussion, we take our picture taking for our documentation. The orientation
lightens my mind to the challenges that barangay Caratagan are experiencing. This
orientation makes me an informational-oriented student.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Mercedes Napa told us that we can't go to Lawinon
because it's too far. We felt sad because it will be our last memorable day in work
exposure, but half way we understand her decision because she's only into our
welfare. The whole afternoon session, we prepare our report to Mrs. Napa, and, we
comply our requirements about their department, we are assisted by Mrs.
Millamina, one of the employees of MSWDO. It is our 4th day and we gathered so
much learnings and social exposure that will surely bring factual sword to my near
future journey.
