Immersion Blog #1: Seeking for Industry...



Immersion is to give students first-hand experience of the work environment applying knowledge, skill sets and techniques that have gained from the classroom in real life situations.

It was Wednesday April 12, 2017, I was really excited to be immersed in an industry so I have passed a letter to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines situated at the Poro Point San Fernando, La Union. Upon  submitting my letter to the HR Officer, she ask me if from where am I and from what school and course are taking. After answering all her queries she told me that they are not accepting Graduate Programs only undergraduate programs. So my application for immersion at the NGCP was rejected.

After being rejected at the NGCP I tried to submit my letter of immersion to another company, which is Holcim Philippines – Bacnotan Branch, situated at the Quirino, Bacnotan. La Union last April 17, 2017. Unluckily the HR Manager was on official business for one (1) week. So I have waited for a week for the result of my application for immersion. It was Monday, April 24, 2017 when I followed up my letter, again the HR Manager is on its meeting for the whole day. On April 25, 2017 the HR Manager told me that there are also trainees lined up for their immersion on the company. Again I was not accepted at the Holcim, Philippines but I didn’t lost hope. On the same day I  have applied at Municipality of Bacnotan, and submitted a letter to the Municipal Mayor and luckily I have been accepted.

Wednesday, April 26, 2017, I have reported and talk to Dr. Annabelle Pada  and observe their IT Operations of the Health Care Unit and showed me the system being used the unit which is also being used by other units entire the Philippines which is  the iClinicSys. On that day Dr. Pada told me that I need to join the Medical Team to observe their process. On the next day I have joined the Dur-as program of the LGU – Bacnotan together with the Medical Team.  I can say that Information Technology can be a great help in this field, even though a study for this but its holding me back in focusing “IT in Medicine”, so I decided to check the municipal  agriculture office.

In the afternoon, I have visited also the Municipal Agriculture Office to talk to Ms. Eulalia Llarenas, the Municipal Agriculturist (head of the unit), but she’s on official business that day. It was Friday, April 28, 2017, I came back to the Office Municipal Agriculture to talk to Ms. Eulalia Llarenas. The municipal agriculture office has lots to offer like in the field of rice, corn and many more. So I have approach Mr. Samuel Leoderes, Agricultural Technologist at the Office of Municipal Agriculture and talked some matter on rice and corn where i can focus on my study.

A very tiring first week of immersion but a happy heart indeed.

Disseration Blog #1 – One Step Closer to Dissertation 1

This blog is for my dissertation concept.. As a part of our immersion, Dr Ruji P. Medina requires us also to have a separate blog for our dissertation. I still remember when I enrolled in the Doctor in Information Technology Program at the TIP you need to pass concept paper together with all the requirements needed for me to enroll.   The paper that I have submitted is related to the area of Network Security.   For now I’m deciding that the paper that I have submitted to one of my professor in the DIT program to continue what I have started on that research with the use of image processing on the counting of silkworm egg. I have read also some of the reviews I have incorporated on that research. On the other hand, one of the staff suggested that if I can also consider the use of image processing in detecting the fertility of egg through the use of other algorithm. This are all my considerations for my concept in Disseration 1.   Trust in the Lord...

This is how my third week of immersion went.. This week (May 8 - 12, 2017) there are lots of things I have done. It was Monday when I continue designing the system when my mentor (Sir Samuel) introduced me to Ma'am Felisa L. Partible, Corn Coordinator of the Municipal Agriculture Office. He told me that she can also help me on the study that I will be conducting.  Right after the meeting Ma'am Partible invited me join on their field day presentation on the Corn Production Technology Demonstration Trial.
