STATEMENT OF THE PURPOSE
"I wanted to work with somebody who seemed like too came from the same
place that I did, which is the total immersion and learning out the world around,
from this very gritty, dark side, and had access to that."
This work immersion aims to train us students and strengthen our skills
or our expertise for our work in the future. It guides us to our path that related
to our selected academic track or selected vocational course.
It sharpens our horizon to improve ourselves through experiencing real

stuff and helps us grow to be professional individuals.
Furthermore, the importance of work immersion is providing opportunities

to go through actual job where there are actual tools and equipment. The
workplace becomes development venue for us student trainee to learn more
about our chosen field and practice what we have gain.
A student in an immersion environment becomes more flexible thinkers

where we are excelling at critical thinking and how to solve problem and be able
to look for more solution.
Lastly, experience is considered to be one of life's greatest teachers. We

need to gain experience as a preparation for our chosen career in the future.

A. Essay - How To Conduct Oneself Inside the Company/

Business Establishment during Immersion Period?
Work immersion is an actual field of learning or training. It can be

stressful for us learners but doing this immersion it can give us a big help in the
mere future.
As a student, conducting oneself inside the company/ business

establishment during immersion period is; first, being punctual because I believe they
value punctuality and also it demonstrates commitment to our job. Second, be
respectful from time to time even though everyone gets frustrated. We should have a
feeling or understanding in dealing with others and respond appropriately. Despite of
this we can show respect by helping or contributing to our team and listening to what
they have to say. Third, we should dress appropriately to make ourselves good and
professional. Fourth, lend a hand so that the job or work will be easier and faster to
be done. Fifth, be positive it’s important to stay positive. Express appreciations to
others who have help us and we should use our work/job as an opportunity to
refocus and improve. Lastly, listen up and learn from your mistakes. In this way we
are willing to share our knowledge and talents to others. Also we can't avoid that in
our workplace there's a mistake will occur but acknowledging our own mistakes
making our best effort to correct them.
So, in this immersion it gives us some knowledge to work within our skills
and limits. It shows whether we are at the job of our dreams or at a temporary stop in
our career path, it's important to make a good impression and also we should know
how to conduct ourselves in the workplace.

Written Narrative on the Profile of the Company/

Business Establishment
COMPANY HISTORY
The Department of Agriculture had its beginnings

when President Emilio Aguinaldo established the
Department of Agriculture and Manufacturing on June
23, 1898.
Jose Alejandrino was appointed

the first Secretary. Under United States Administration In
1901, under the American colonial government, priority was
given to the development of other agricultural products, such
as rice and other basic commodities, as well as fishing,
forestry, and mining. This new focus necessitated the
establishment of the insular Bureau of Agriculture. This
bureau was put under the Department of the Interior through
Philippine Legislature's Act No. 271. It was later put under the supervision of
the Department of Public Instruction in 1910.

Grade 12 - Wisdom
Page 15 of 66
The first Filipino to head the Bureau under the American

occupation is Adriano Hernandez, who was himself a
practicing farmer. The Bureau of Agriculture grew rapidly
until it was abolished by the enactment of Act No. 2666,
otherwise known as "An Act to Re-organize the Executive
Department of the Government of the Philippine Islands,"
on November 18, 1916, and was implemented on
January 1, 1917. This act provided for the establishment
of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources
(DANR), which would take over direct executive control, direction, and law may
assign supervision of the Bureaus of Agriculture, Forestry, Lands, Science, and
Weather, as well as all matters concerning hunting, fisheries, sponges and other
sea products, and such others as to it. By virtue of another reorganization act
(through Act No. 4007) in 1932, the DANR became the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce. The Bureau of Commerce, which used to be under
the Department of Commerce and Communication, was placed under the
reorganized Department. In 1942, while the Commonwealth Government was in
exile, the Department was reorganized again, becoming the Department of
Finance, Agriculture and Commerce. Upon the resumption of the
Commonwealth in February 1945, it became the Department of Justice,
Agriculture and Commerce, and then back to being the Department of
Agriculture and Commerce in December of the same year
POST INDEPENDENCE
In 1947, Pres. Manuel Roxas renamed it again as the

Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources by virtue
of Executive Order No. 94.
The Bureau of Commerce, among others, was
incorporated to the newly created Department of Commerce
and Industry. On September 14, 1959, the DANR moved to
its current building in Diliman, Quezon City from the
Agrifina Circle (now the Teodoro Valencia Circle) in Manila.

Grade 12 - Wisdom
Page 16 of 66
By virtue of Presidential Decree 461, signed into law by

Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, the DANR was split in May 1974 into
two departments: the Department of Agriculture and the
Department of Natural Resources (which later became the
current DENR). After the shift to the parliamentary system in
1978, all departments were changed to ministries.
Thus, the office became the Ministry of Agriculture and

Food until 1987, when the department was renamed
again as the Department of Agriculture, through Pres.
Corazon Aquino's Executive Order No. 116.
The same EO mandated the DA to promote agricultural
development by providing the policy framework, public
investment, and support services, which are needed for
domestic and export-oriented business enterprises.
Guided by the principle that agriculture is business, the DA implemented policy
and institutional reforms that freed the agriculture markets, enabling farmers to
enjoy higher farm gate prices. These reforms included the dismantling of
agricultural monopolies and the elimination of agricultural taxes. Reforms in the
agricultural credit system, such as the phase-out of the direct lending scheme,
were also initiated. In May 2014, pursuant to Executive Order No. 165, four
agencies representing three- quarters of the DA's budget — the Fertilizer and
Pesticide Authority, the National Food Authority, the National Irrigation
Administration, and the Philippine Coconut Authority — were removed from DA
control. This was part of the anti-corruption reforms which followed the pork
barrel scam. The four agencies are now directly under the Office of the President,
where they are overseen by the Presidential Assistant for Food Security and
Agricultural Modernization.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (NOW)
The Philippine Department of Agriculture (abbreviated as DA or

Kagawaran ng Pagsasaka), is the executive department of the Philippine
government responsible for the promotion of agricultural and fisheries
development and growth.

Grade 12 - Wisdom

`DA Secretary PROCESO J. ALCALA is a former

Representative of 2nd District of Quezon. He is
considered as the 'Father of Organic Agriculture' in
the Philippines, being the principal author of the
Organic Agricultural Act of 2010 (RA 10068).
President Benigno S. Aquino III appointed him

as Secretary of Agriculture on June 30, 2010. Since
then, he laid the Agri-Pinoy framework as guide to
the plans and goals of the Department to attain a
sustainable and globally competitive national
agriculture and fisheries sector, and attain the goals
and objectives under the Philippine Development Plan
of 2011-2016.
MISSION
A modernized small holder agriculture and fisheries; a
diversified rural economy that is dynamic, technologically

by the sound practices of resource sustainability, the principles of social justice,
and strong private sector participation.
VISSION To help and empower the farming and fishing

communities and the private sector to produce enough,
accessible and affordable food for every Filipino and a decent

Written Narrative of What Student Learned

During Immersion Period
"To achieve contact with reality is not to transport one elsewhere; it is not
transcendence but thorough immersion in one's surrounding’s. A reality which
is neither purely physical nor metaphysical but both at once." - Antoni Tapies
Many things come along with my mind. Am I ae to face this kind of work? Maybe
it's difficult to handle, I can't do this. I am a silent type of person; can I easily
mingle to our neither Supervisors nor Facilitators?
But those things running through my mind vanished; I gain strength, courage,
and confidence when I already tried the everyday experience of having Work
Immersion. I just said to myself that I can take the next thing that comes along.
On the first week of our Work Immersion, we were assigned in the field of
Trichogramma which we learn how to cook corn bran, harvesting adult moth
feeding earwigs, etc. In this field I learn a lot. It makes me realize that these
small things really do existed and this kind of small of things gives a big help to
the farmers to have less expenses to their crops and also to have a good quality
of products.
In the field of Brontispa, where this pest is attacking the coconut leaves in both
young and mature coconuts. Also in this field we have our know-how in
exterminating this pest (Brontispa). In this immersion, all we have is lots of
efforts, be more responsible enough to classify Brontispa into egg, larvae, pupa
and adult wherein the young pupae are used for the parasitazation by the
parasitoid Tetrastichus.
Aside from these two fields, we also have training at Wood Vinegar. Our group
observes and masters the process of making wood vinegar. Wood vinegar is
liquid that is generated from a gas and the combustion of fresh wood burning in
an airless condition. It has also many benefits not only in crops but also us
human.
Overall, it may be said that Work Immersion is a greater help to enhance our
skills, knowledge and ability not only in academics area but also in this kind of
field. It serves as a way to hone our working skills in preparation for our future
career.

WEEKLY DIARY (Narrative/ Account of Learning and

Achievements, Issues Faces and Corresponding
Resolutions)
Day 1 (November 28, 2018)
It's our first day of work immersion. Each one of us feels the presence of
excitement for we are about to discover new learning’s in every field and also do
some different types of work. We assemble at front of Leon Tourism Building
because Mr. Joey Glenn Cabana, School Partner Focal Person, oriented us about
the Work Immersion. Ma’am Sencia A. Clarito, Acting municipal Agriculturist,
introduced us to the Facilitators who is going to guide us throughout our work
days.
Our groups were assigned in the field of Trichogramma, while the other
groups were also in different field.
The first task we perform is harvesting the Corcyra eggs by brushing it by

soft paintbrush in the egg laying cage. Ma’am Rowena our facilitator, give us
some knowledge about Trichogramma, then she also shows us the laboratory of
Corcyra moth. After that, we saw the infested eggs in the cups with sterilized
corn bran. We also collect the Corcyra moth by using test tube, and then, we
will be going to infest the earwigs.
Ma'am Rowena feel sorry to us because we can't perform the exact step in
Trichogramma Production. We understand due to the incomplete facilities in the
lab.
Then in afternoon activity we did some extra jobs; transferring the

seedlings in plastic pots, cultivating and getting some weeds in the plants and
also cleaning the area of bio-con lab.
To end our day, we signed our attendance and go home full of new
enjoying experiences.

Day 2 (November 29, 2018)
It’s our second day in our Work Immersion; we arrived early but it’s still
closed, while waiting we decided to clean the windows and area at Bio-Con
Laboratory.
We start our activity by harvesting Corcyra eggs and infest it to a cup of

corn bran. I, April, Isabel and Ma’am Weng buy 10 kilos of corn bran and go to
Hot Water Facility Treatment to sterilize it. Ma’am Weng guides us and also with
the help of Sir Joseph on how to cook the corn bran. After the sterilization, we
bring the sterilized corn bran to the laboratory then transfer it to the boxes.
Then, we made a strip out of cartolina. We also prepare food and watering the
earwigs.
In the afternoon, we had our extra activity, Ma’am Dyna our supervisor
assigned us to do the price monitoring at Leon Bagsakan. April updated the
price board that we have gathered from Tay Pedring the Chairman of Leon
Bagsakan.
To call it a day, were just do our daily routine; watering and cleaning the
area of Bio-Con Laboratory, signing out our attendance and go home full of new
learning’s.
Day 3 (December 5, 2018)
Our Work Immersion Supervisor Ma’am Dyna Capalla informs us that we

will be going to shift our schedules; we will now proceed to the field of Brontispa
together with the group of Brenn Vincent Caguimbay. Also Sir Jasher is also
present as he is now our in-charge teacher; he facilitated us and gives us some
knowledge about the pest hiding at the coconut leaves.
We are now going to Isian Leon, Iloilo at Mr. Willie Cabarles farm, Sir
Jasher do the demonstration and gives us some hints by simply looking at the
coconut leaves. Group of Brenn leads us collecting the Brontispa; we cut the
infected young coconut leaves using the pruning shears.

Grade 12 - Wisdom
Page 49 of 66
We head back to Bio-Con Laboratory after the collection and proceeds to

Hot Water Facility Treatment to do the segregation form eggs, young and
matured larvae, pupa and adult. Ma’am Dyna introduces the earwigs as a
predator for Brontispa.
We spend our day having a bonding to our facilitators as well as to our

group members and like yesterday we do the price the monitoring and updated
the price board.
To sum up, before we go home, we clean the area, do the gardening and
signed out our attendance.
Fourth day in our Work Immersion and also it is our last day in the field
of Trichogramma. We were excited because we are now applying the
Trichogramma (Chilonis) together with the 6 immerses students from Leon
National High School.
Ma’am Dyna Capalla gives first her instruction before we officially start
applying the Trichogramma strips Victoriano Cabila Farm, Buntalan Leon, Iloilo.
Tay Victoriano welcomes us as he leads the way going to his farm. He gives some
knowledge about all his plantation; Eggplant, bitter gourd, bottle gourd and
pechay. We are going to apply the Trichogramma strips to all the plants at Tay
Victoriano’s farm.
After applying Tricho Strips, we harvested the pechay that Tay Opong’s
gives to us. We head back and proceeds to Hot Water Facility Treatment as were
going to cook the pechay that we have harvested for our lunch.
We signed out our attendance and go home full of happy learning’s.
Day 5, (December 12, 2018)
Today is the day that we are having our Educational Tour at Western
Visayas Integrated Agricultural Research Center (WESVIARC), Hamungaya,
Jaro, Iloilo. We are excited because we’re going to experience and see the main
Biological Control that has complete and bigger facility for the Trichogramma
Mass Production.

Grade 12 - Wisdom
Page 50 of 66
As we arrived there, we met Mr. Ivan Sioson who works at the Laboratory;
he introduced the activities that were going to perform later. We divided in 4
groups so that, each group can experience all the activities. We first deal in
cooking of corn bran for 45 minutes. Second, we transfer 1 kilo of corn bran to
boxes and infest 1 cup of cultured Corcyra eggs. Third, put the infested cups to
the Larvae Development Room. Fourth, collecting adult moth using the test
tubes and we put it into the egg laying cage. Lastly, we sieve Corcyra eggs to the
strips with the glue (gum Arabic and water).
We go home filled with new learning’s.
Sixth day of our work immersion, the ending is yet to come. It is our last
day in the field of Brontispa, together with our facilitator Sir Jasher guides us to
the Hot Water Treatment Facility to check first our attendance and discussed to
us if where we are going to collect Brontispa.
We go at Panginman, Leon, the Farm of Tatay Pedro Elvi Hilapad we ask

his consent if we can collect Brontispa from his coconut trees, we explore his
farm and check every coconut trees if there is Brontispa and then we cut it with
pruning shears.
Afterwards we proceed to the farm of Tirabio Taba to also collect the pest
attacking Brontispa, but we only collected few. So, we went back to Hot Water
Treatment Facility to segregate the egg, young larvae, mature larvae, pupae and
adult Brontispa from each other.
In the afternoon, we just consume our time by lecturing about Brontispa.

Also Sir Jasher added that we can’t do the parasitation because the Tetrastichus
is not yet available. So, where just helping the group of Cris, in the field of
Trichogramma by potting some seedlings, cleaning the area of Bio-Con
Laboratory, and watering the plants. Just like our daily routine we end our day
by signing our attendance and bid our goodbye's to each and every one of us.

It’s our first day at Brgy. Lanag in the field of wood vinegar. We walked a
few minutes to reach the farm. In order not to feel tired we're just chatting and
enjoying each other’s company together with Ma'am Marg. When we arrived at
Tay Catalino's farm where the wood vinegar located we feel the presence of
excitement because we also want to try and learn the processing of doing wood
vinegar.
Before we officially proceed in doing wood vinegar Tay Catalino told us to;
first, we collect the parts of coconut where he cut a while ago. All of us help each
other to pull the coconut leaves and then Ian begun to cut it into small pieces.
And also all of us try to cut it but Kurt cuts it differently. Second, Tay Catalino
starts to lecture about what is wood vinegar, fruit juice, and the plant juice.
Ma'am Marg told us that we should listen attentively and do some notes because
we don't have time to perform it so, Tay Catalino gives his very best to lecture for
us to understand. He also introduce the effectiveness of wood vinegar as a
medicine so, Ian try the wood vinegar on his wound.Third, Tay Catalino also
lectured about the Mother EM (E Mass). And lastly, asking few questions to Tay
Catalino related to wood vinegar.
In the afternoon we find some coconut parts to have a continuous

supplying the chamber of coconut leaves. We also change the water when it gets
hot. Tay Catalino gives us papaya and banana where we eat while doing our
work. We also have a quiz to Ma'am Marg like we do to Sir Jasher where we give
her our attendance and she must guess it and it went well. After the so-called-
quiz we laugh at our own epic faces taken by Chalen and Wilfredo we don't mind
the time cause we enjoy it very much.
It’s our 8th day in our work immersion but it’s our 2nd day in the field of
Wood Vinegar. We go at wood vinegar together with the group of Brenn. They go
back at wood vinegar because they're going to finish their last day. We arrived at
Tay Catalino's farm loudly because we're so many. The group of Brenn and also
our group collect the parts of coconut leaves where it’s used as a fuel for the
wood vinegar. Me, April, Wilfredo, Red, Kurt, Isabel, Mylene, Greselle and Mercel

Grade 12 - Wisdom
Page 52 of 66
roam around at Tay Catalino's Greenhouse while lecturing about all his plants
there. He also introduce about the Pechoy (the Chinese Pechay). Tay Catalino
told us to harvest it, and then we cook it for our lunch.
In the afternoon, we do the collecting and chopping enough coconut leaves

to fuel the chamber to produce wood vinegar. Then, at our free time, our other
group mates continue supplying the chamber and also changing the water if it's
too hot. Later, we do the harvesting of wood vinegar and stuck it for how many
months.
To call it a day, we do our daily routine. Each of us have one gallon of

wood vinegar which we have harvested and head back home full of satisfaction
and also gaining some new learning’s.
Today is our last day in the field of Wood Vinegar and the last day of our
work immersion. Were so happy because finally it is going to end, but eventually
were sad because we will miss it. Before we officially end it, we arrive at Tatay
Catalino farm and do our daily routine for producing wood vinegar. We collect
and chop coconut leaves, stuck to the side of the chamber, and change the
water if it’s too hot.
Afterthat, Wilfredo and I harvest the Wood Vinegar itself. We also harvest
the fermented malunggay juice produce by the group of Cris Cabalfin. We don't
know the process of producing fermented juice because we don’t have much
time but Tatay Catalino already lectured us.
Before we go back at Bio-Con Laboratory we give Tay Catalino some small

Noche buena package and some utensils that for sure it will be useful for the
next immersion. This is for Tay Catalino for his time and efforts he gives to us
and also welcoming us in his farm to do our work immersion. While waiting
some couple of minutes due to the bad weather, the heavy rain started to pour
and we don’t have some umbrella with us, but thanks to the leaves of banana.
In the afternoon we have our thanksgiving party for our facilitators and
supervisors. We give gifts to them as a sign of gratitude and the unending
guidance they give to us throughout the 9 work immersion days.
Experience is the best teacher. We end our day with a big smile to our
faces and the learning’s we will never be forget.

REFLECTION PAPER
(Professional Development Plan)
“Experience gives us the tests first and the lessons later.”
As a student, having experience the 80 hours of work simulation is not as

easy as we think it could be. It can be full of hardships as we are new to this
and certain adjustments have to be done.
Work Immersion is a key feature in the Senior High School Curriculum

and refers to the part of that consists of hands-on experience which we Grade
12 students will undergo to expose us to the actual work setting and to enrich
the competencies provided by our school.
In this field it is all about developing the skills to realize our goals. It is
very helpful and it was fortunate enough to have experienced first-hand and
learned as well as how much work and details we go through.
Work Immersion is such an amazing experience where we can gain more

knowledge, ideas, insights and background in choosing what course we are
going to take in college.
To sum up, this guides us to be tough, have perseverance, how to interact

and socialize to our Facilitators and our In-charge teachers.
“If there is no struggle, there is no success.”
