All About Twilight

Last Day of Immersion               I feel happy on the last day of immersion because in just 10 days I learned and realized many things. During the last day I passed the tasks given. My instructor/supervisor, Ms. Janie Galo, Registered Geologist, also give her remarks, suggestions and ratings. During the last day we summarized all the topics we have discussed. Ms. Galo also shared her experiences and difficulties during her college days and now that she's working. I feel grateful with her advice because it really helped me as a student who wants to pursue Geology course. I am also happy to be immersed in Provincial Environment and Natural Resources - LGU (PENRO) because of the kindness of the employees and their willingness to help and share their knowledge to me.

First Day of Immersion                     "Nervous and Excitement"           We start our first day of immersion by an orientation at Provincial Capitol of Compostela Valley. The HR Officer Mrs. Dinah Basco discussed the rules and regulations of the Provincial Capitol as well as the Department Heads and  the Officials of the Province. I feel very nervous and little bit excited during the endorsement at Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office. The Mine and Mineral Resources Division Head welcomed me in the office and advised me to start the day after the endorsement.

Pre-Immersion Orientation and Sending Off Ceremony       The orientation was good. We learned a lot from the speaker, the Human Resource officer and PESO head of the municipality of Nabunturan. The speaker clearly state the advantage and importance of immersion program. She precisely express the objective, goal and reason why government conducted this program. Because of the pre-immersion Orientation there were doubts and questions on my mind that were answered and cleared. The pre-immersion orientation really helped us before having the immersion proper. It made us realize how important immersion is and it bring us to the field of work that we want. For me, this program is really good because after the immersion I can really decide whether I pursue the profession or not.       I consider the send-off ceremony as one of the most memorable ceremony in my life because it symbolizes many things. I honestly felt bad at the beginning because my parents weren't there to witn

Parents' Day (December 1, 2017)             A day to give tribute to our beloved parents and to show them how much we love them.             Parents' Day is celebrated to give honor to the people who gave their unconditional love and unending support, our parents. The people who sacrificed many things for us, who worked til night just to provide us our needs. A simple card, flowers or balloons are just simple things that makes every parent's day extra special. A simple thank you and I love you will be a great inspiration to our parents to never get tired on undestanding us and to let them know that we are very lucky to have them as our parents.            I was not able to celebrate this very special day with my parents because they have more important things to do. But I know that I can still do the things that other students have done to their parents during Parent's Day. I still can say and do the things that can show how to my parents how muc
