A. Brief History / Background of the Company / Company Profile
province with its principal office at Antipolo del Norte, LipaCity. It was
It had an initial capital of P28 million obtained as loan from NEA for purposes of providing electric
service to both urban and rural areas. NEA subsequently granted BATELEC II a provisional franchise in the
municipalities of San Juan, Taysan, Lobo, Rosario, Mabini/Tingloy, Bauan, San Pascual, Ibaan, Alitagtag,
Cuenca, San Jose and Batangas City duly represented by its Incorporators, Mr. Conrado S. Quijano, Mr.
Isidro P. Sulit Jr., Dr. Reynaldo S. Carandang, Mr. Sulficio F. Frago, Mr. Simeon C. Dolor, Mr. Antonio D.
Cruzat, Mrs. Lourdes C. Bulanhagui, Atty. Emilio P. Piñero, Dra. Maxima R. Recto, Mrs. Wilma S. Cuevas,
BATELEC II started its operations on April 24, 1978 in the municipalities of Rosario, Cuenca, Alitagtag,
San Jose and San Juan after the right to operate had been bought by the Cooperative from the private
owners. BATELEC II then begun on its activities towards the attainment of the thrust of Rural Electrification,
that is the total electrification of its coverage area. The task force construction supported by NEA personnel
and assistance from different Electric Cooperatives paved the way to the electrification of Lobo on May 9,
After two years of operation, finally, on May 28, 1980, the National Electrification Administration granted
BATELEC II a permanent franchise for a period of 50 years in the City of Batangas, and municipalities of
Mabini, Bauan, San Pascual, Ibaan, Rosario, San Juan, Taysan, Lobo and Tingloy. Although BATELEC II
2
has the right to operate on areas of Bauan, San Pascual, Ibaan and BatangasCity, these were energized by
privately - owned - operated electric system. On the same year, because of the extensive area coverage,
BATELEC III, another Electric Cooperative was organized to operate in the municipalities of Tanauan, Malvar,
Balete, Laurel, Talisay, Mataas na Kahoy, Padre Garcia and LipaCity. However, the Coop since its
organization and registration with NEA did not operate because it was placed under the administration and
operational control of BATELEC II. BATELEC III, had its own set of BOD but who were in-active until
BATELEC III was officially merged with BATELEC II on 1989, thereby placing the entire coverage
3
True to its commitment of providing electric service, far flung areas, mountainous terrain, lakes, rugged
roads and the like have not caused discouragement to BATELEC II from carrying out the Rural Electrification
Program.
Tingloy, MaricabanIsland was energized in 1982 using gasifier for power generation, which made use
of charcoal in its operation. In 1986, the gasifier was replaced by a gasoline engine since the past operations
proved that the use of charcoal was not feasible. After a couple of years, the gasoline engine was replaced
by a diesel engine.
A special project utilizing solar energy in producing electricity was piloted in Isla Verde. The Verde
Island Solar Power Association was organized through the assistance of NEA, which operates the same
to enhance the spirit of Cooperativism among member-consumers, the Barangay Power Association was
launched.
Over the past years of its operations embracing the Government's Rural Electrification Program, 100%
of its municipalities and 100% of Barangays were energized. The total house connections increased to
288,337 in which 42,241 are from BAPA (as of September 2016) as compared to 23,605 of 1980. BATELEC
II has also organized 658 Barangay Power Associations, however the BOD and Management are now on
the intensive analysis of taking over some of the feasible BAPA considering that they are cognizant on the
The coop's operation is not focused solely on technical improvement. Its relationship with the member-
consumers is likewise one of its primary concerns. Various projects and programs were launched and
supported by the Coop namely: Outreach Program for victims of calamities; Housewiring Loan Program to
4
aid financially handicapped consumers who want to avail of electric service; Coops Electrification Program
beneficiaries of which are the Bigain San Jose, Cuenca and Taysan School; Sponsored Vegetable Rising
Project in schools within its coverage area and Rural Barangay Food Production Program (RBFPP) at Brgy.
Dita Cuenca, Tulos Rosario, Brgy. San Guillermo and Brgy. DuhatanLipaCity; Waterworks projects at Brgy.
Banaba, Padre Garcia and Brgy. Darasa, Tanauan in cooperation with the Rural Waterworks Devt.
Committee (RNDC) and Dept. of Public Works and Highways; and Family Tree Farm Association in Tulos,
Rosario, Bats. Wherein member-consumers were given ipil-ipil seeds to be planted in a 914 hectare lot in
the said Barangay. Ipil-ipil trees yielded from this farm were made into charcoal and were used in the gasifier
at Tingloy.
BATELEC II has also Community Relation Program that identifies the variety of needs in our coverage
area. Don Leon Dolor Memorial Elementary School at Antipolo del Norte, LipaCity savored the benefit of
ComRel Program when they received the brand new computer set as donation to the students of the said
school. The coop also participated in sports activity when it joined the Mayors Cup Basketball League at
Taysan, Batangas having some ex-PBA and NCAA player as a member of the team. ComRel Program also
aims to disseminate necessary information to the consumer like “Anti-Pilferage Placard Posting” within the
coverage area to increase the awareness of the consumers on the penalty to the violators.
In December 1990, the Coop reached a higher plane by attaining Class A category. Indeed it was the
realization of the Coop's tireless effort and fulfilment of its ultimate dream. However, looming on the horizon
then was a storm. 1991 and 1992 were the most challenging years for the Coop as it was marked with labor
disputes and management upheavals. This conflict led to operational trouble and the member-consumers
loss of trust and confidence in the Cooperative, unpaid amortization to NEA, accumulated arrears to
NAPOCOR of more than P53 M, uncollected power bills of more than P98 M. As a consequence, BATELEC
II was given a Class D rating and even reached the point of being at the lowest Category E. The Coop was
5
then always threatened of being disconnected by NAPOCOR. NEA however came to the rescue by assuring
the public that everything was under control. It was on the later part of 1992 when the conflicting parties
decided to reconcile. The storm is over, the Cooperative; under the direct supervision of the NEA
Management Teamwork harder to provide the much needed quality public service and consequently regained
September 12, 1998 when the first pole of 69kV transmission line was erected at Barangay Leynes,
Talisay and at the same year, BATELEC II marked its P1B revenue.
On March 11, 2000, 16th Annual General Membership Meeting at Padre Garcia, the consumers from
the coverage areas passed a resolution opposing the transfer of BATELEC II to MERALCO or in any capitalist
Another history marked BATELEC II in its electrification program as it energized the last un-energized
barangay covered by the cooperative, the Brgy. Calawit, Balete, which is, located right at the historical land
of Taal Volcano using solar energy on this undertaking and paved way for the 100% Barangay Electrification
BATELEC II was finally granted with the permanent franchise to operate electric service in the areas of
Lipa City, Tanauan City, Padre Garcia, Mataas na Kahoy, Balete, Cuenca, Alitagtag, Malvar, Talisay, Laurel
and San Jose. These areas are previously served by the cooperative through provisional franchise.
More importantly, it is noteworthy to mention that all the endeavours BATELEC had achieved were
realized through the unceasing and unwavering support of its employee. For that reason, BATELEC II
continuously promotes the value of “Employee First Value” to its 748 personnel.

Aside from those benefits required by law like retirement benefit, resignation benefit, 15 day vacation
leave, 15 day sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, thirteenth month pay etc., BATELEC II is also giving
Health Care Program, P2,500.00 monthly Rice Allowance, P1,000.00 Birthday Gift, P5,000.00 Uniform
Allowance, P5,000.00 Death Assistance and 7 day Bereavement Leave for the death of legitimate children,
From being one of the distressed category D in 2003, through the Cooperative’s commitment and
determination, BATELEC II was classified as extra-large Electric Cooperative and categorized as Class A
Cooperative for the years 2004 to 2012, Class AA for the Year 2013 to 2014 and Class AAA for the year
2015.
BATELEC II was again transformed into a viable Electric Cooperative. Even with limited resources
and huge indebtedness, the management was able to continuously implement the programs and projects to
improve the Coop's operations, hence, the Coop consistently improved, electrified 100% of its coverage area
VISION
MISSION
Fostering utmost trust, undivided solidarity and equal partnership between BATELEC II and its
member-consumers to attain sustainable collective growth and progress in the entire coverage
area.

PERSONAL EVALUATION OF
THE TRAINING PROGRAM

1. Professional Learning and Development Achieved
My training at Batangas II Electric Cooperative INC, was a good training at all, for me to experience
even for a short period of time of what we are going to do in the actual as I graduated as an Electrical
Engineer. It has given me so much learning in order for me to be ready on what my future would be. It helps
This training improves and develop my skills for me to be ready on my future career. Being at a
power cooperative distribution, was a good experience since I can apply our field of expertise as an electrical
engineering students. Respecting our seniors who helps us throughout our training. And become more
I was able to use different set of tools for connecting large size of wires like U-bolt, compressible
aluminum connector and many more. Since most of the weeks on my OJT was on the team of construction,
my internship focuses on improving the distribution to the consumer, we changed transformers, primary and
secondary lines to avoid power breakdown. Maintaining good quality distribution is not as easy as we know,
especially when there is a time that the shutdown of feeders occur. Many consumers are angry because they
want to bring the power back as soon as possible. But as far as they know, when feeders shut down, every
team on the office are surveying for what is the cause of the shutdown.
During my internship I have handled some equipment that use for electricity distribution, like voltage
continuity tester. This tester beeps and indicate red light when there is a flow of voltage in a line even if the
22
fuse is off. This is for the assurance of the safety of the line mans that will perform the task on the top of the
pole.
I had a great experience with all the personnel involved in our training. All of them are very nice,
and most of them are very friendly, they treat us same as a regular employee. They let us participate on the
With the proper guide of the employees in our department during my internship I was able to
learned new things that’s in line with my field of profession. Our Supervisor are very sociable and helpful. If
you have questions he is approachable especially the times we need to learn about conducting test. They
The best practices that we applied is that to be safe when performing a task. Because on
distribution, high voltage of power is being dealing with. It can cause major injuries in a single blink of eye.
As they always said, It’s better to be safe than sorry. As they advise, better to ask than to act like you know
what you are doing, because if there’s a mistake occur it will cause so much trouble. So before you act you
must ask some of the personnel to work better in the field. Also I should always be professional in terms of
working in the field, that I should not think myself as an OJT but being a professional engineer for me to
establish confidence.
23
6. Discipline Related Solutions Integrated into the Company
Discipline when it also comes for your being professional at work. The atmosphere in work place is
very different at school. You are with the people different of your ages and have different personality.
Respecting them and having professional attitude. You do need to have respect for others and show common
courtesy to your co-workers. If there’s a fellow employee that you’d rather not associate with, then avoid his
company and don’t get involved in whispering behind his back. Never be afraid to ask question. Don’t be
know it all even though you don’t really understand clearly on what to do in your assigned task.
Also being productive and getting the job done. Since the department have days that we are really
busy and cannot avoid to have a pile of work. Productivity is really important. We have to make sure to finish
on time so that we don’t have to keep them waiting for the time and day we set to give it back to them. Always
follow the company policies. Do not forget what is asked for you. Be approachable to the supervisor and
trainers so you can maintain a good impression. If you have these disciplines then you will gain the respect
7. Strong Points
The people we have worked here is very approachable and easy to get along with. If you have
questions regarding to the things you have to do and the company you can ask them. You can feel their
concerns in the interns. They always ask if you are okay or do you get bored they are all sociable. Sometimes
they give you extra break before you leave the department because they know you still have classes to
attend. They are also generous and always include the interns every time there is celebration and afternoon
break. It was an exceptional and meaningful training for an intern like us, but we are thrilled and enjoyed
because we will be able to gain an experience that can possibly help us develop our technical skills.
24
They are very appreciative and always complement on the things you do. My trainers and supervisor
show appreciation even in the little things you have done. Which is a very overwhelming in heart. That
sometimes makes you do more than what is expected. The reason why you want to finish ahead of time and
ask for more task to do. A very strong point of a company is that they are all humble they show they need
each other. And value every worker in the department even the interns. They don’t fail to show complement
Weak point I can see in the company is that there are issue in some workers that there are times
they indirectly and sarcastically talk to each other in purposely to be hear by the other. Crab mentality is also
an issue of some workers here at the company. Sometimes the jokes of my supervisor are below the belt to
some of workers. I also see that some of the trainers don’t work if they are not monitored by the supervisor.
That’s why sometimes at the end of the day they have no outputs. Nothing is wrong in the facilities, but when
it comes to hygiene there is sometimes a problem especially there is pest around. Though it is not inside the
Maybe to avoid conflicts of the workers. The supervisor must be transparent and fair to the workers.
A good solution to increase the productivity, is that to monitor the workers every day. To have a radio on all
of the services that is being used by the different teams. So the head can easily broadcast the trouble
especially when feeders are trip off. One feeders scopes four to seven barangay, that’s why it is very stressed
25
CHAPTER V
RECOMMENDATION
26
A. Potential of the Company as a Training Ground
Different people with different personalities. The good thing about our department is there are a lot
of people that is approachable and easily to get along with. To the point that you will not be shy to ask about
the task and things you have to do even if you don’t get it at first. And as of my trainer that is very appreciative
on the things that I’ve been doing. Even in the small things that I accomplish he shows appreciation and very
thankful for helping him in the task that is assigned. There are a lot of work to do in our department but sadly
there are some trainers that don’t work if the supervisor is not around. It causes the decrease of productivity
The company has all its needed tools regarding on the maintenance of the distribution system. Since
the company focus on the maintaining of distributed power to the consumers, they make sure that when there
is a report of power trouble, they make sure that they will respond immediately.
The engineer on the office cooperate to the team properly and agreed with the OJT requirements
that we as interns needed. They monitor the interns to achieve or goals as an intern.
From the demonstration time we’re able to learn on how to use the tools and equipment and the
system in BATELEC. Most of the time our trainer shared their experiences and the knowledge they have
learn in working premises. The quality time we have in internship is enough for us to learn. Not only in
27
During the period of time in the internship, different characteristics was developed on me. Like being
punctual, taking initiatives at work and asking for the task that needed to be accomplished, and avoiding
absences without valid reason. As an intern as part of the schools’ program, we are required to finish a 240
hours training duration to practice our knowledge learned from school and have an application on it on the
real work scenario. As an on the job trainee my interpersonal skills was developed through socializing with
the different person on the company. My personality was enhanced when it comes to facing work task and
The company should let the Interns experience the different activities in the department. Also to
lessen the discrimination inside the company. Because some trainers there in technical part required more
boys than girls in doing the job. Because inside the department they look girls as doing the part of updating
the system, doing the documentation and monthly report. Though they let us experience testing and repairing
I also suggest that if they could maximize the time of the OJT to learn inside the department. Because
I see that there are also things that the other trainers did not let us experience such as using the electric
meter tester. So it will help the interns to improve their technical side. And it is much better that some of the
things are completely explains to us trainees. Because there are task assigned to us that hey only teach us
the step but did not let us know the reason behind doing the things.
28
D. Advise to the future On-the-job trainees
The suggestions that I can impart to future On-The-Job trainees is for them to make sure to research
for the company that they will accept them as trainee and where they can apply their filed of expertise as
soon as possible, so that they won’t have any problems in the future and so that they can start as early. Look
for the company where they can develop you to become a good engineer.
They should finish the requirement as soon as possible to prevent future problem in the future when
the coordinator needed the papers. In my case I didn’t finish my requirement early so it causes me trouble
now. Especially in time that your OJT is on summer class which has a very limited time.
When you are already in training you should always seek for learnings where you can apply it in your
future field of expertise. Learning is the first basic needed in this training, taking down notes of what your
supervisor tells you about your project and gathering the data that can be used in the future.

Student Goal
After completing my OJT at my chose company, Batangas II Electric Cooperative INC., I expect that
whatever things I learned in there, I will be able to apply in my studies or it can help me more as future
electrical engineer. Also, I am expecting that my hands on skills, and knowledge in the technical aspect of
As a student enrolled in practicum, my other goals are to practice my communication skill, to have
a deeper understanding in Electrical System Design, Automation and Distribution. For communication skill I
will listen carefully to the instruction and if I don’t understand something I am going to ask them to help me.
As an electrical engineering student I have the knowledge on how to Design Electrical System but I don’t
have an enough Idea on how to install it and that will be my second goal for this OJT. Other Interns are assign
to Tapping, Maintenance, Reconnection, and Apprehension team, which I can also join if I intended to.
As a student, I already know that the field of Electrical Engineering is flexible. As an electrical
engineer we are not just designing but we can also have works that are more hands on that also related in
electrical works. At first I expect that what I learned in school would be different when I already enter the field.
I wasn’t able to apply the theories that I learn in school but as time goes by I was able to apply it in some
other way.

Know a technique or skill in practice for electrical engineering. I should also know how to design an
experiment and conduct it to provide. Be a professional and responsible for the commitment. I should know
how to work as an individual, leader of the team or a member. Demonstrate the understanding in
As a future engineer, when working in our field of expertise one thing that needed to be done is
following what the company rules and regulation to prevent irregularities. Being electrical engineer, others
always say that I should apply in MERALCO, after my internship program I can say that electrical engineer
can always excel in any other work related to electrical because of the flexibility of it. Soon I will be electrical
engineer, and I will do my best to become a good engineer that continuously improving towards every aspect.

For the second week of my on the job training at BATELEC II, the task that we have done are placing
of transformer, pole, relocation of cluster box, tapping and inspection of meter, and relocation of service drop.
As an intern I’ve watch how they perform the task. When placing transformer first to do is to cut the power so
that the safety of the line man is being assured. While tapping of electric meter and relocation of service drop
did not require to cut the power, because line man has proper training on how to handle that task.
My internship experiences for this week is very exciting and a little bit of tiring. Also because even if
the weather is hot since it is summer time, we will continue to do the task until it is not totally done. I always
watched to the team line man on performing the task and asking to the team foreman about the different
devices that is being used like transformer cluster, fuse link, fuse tube, cut out, and many more.

For the third week of my on the job training on the company, we have done almost the same as we
have done last week. We inspection electricity meter, because some consumers are concerned for their
monthly bill, we also placed pole for the improvement of the distribution of electricity.
On this third week of my internship we also replace wood pole to concrete or steel pole, because
some wooden pole are being deceased or not safe specially when there is a transformer on the pole. When
we relocate the transformer and pole my duty is to help on installing the groundings and other materials that
is being used so that it will be easy to the line man to install and relocate the electric line to the new pole.

In my fourth week we have done different things. We replace the burned primary line that caused
brown out. Not only primary line is or concern on this week, on other barangay our team replace the
secondary line, we replace it with a bigger size of wire because old secondary line cannot hold the current
This week also I inform that the schedule of task every Friday is clearing. Clearing is a task that is
being fall on the maintenance. Trees that is near the primary and secondary line must be removed. It is
because when rain comes and when there is a tree that is on the primary line, it will caused short circuit and
brown out.

In my fifth week of OJT the first day of the week is the company’s brigada eskwela. We go to the
different schools on tanauan city that has a request on the company so that we can help them on the brigada
eskela. We repair switches, replaced light bulb and covering of wires that is live and cause electric shock to
the students. We also do clearing of trees on the other school because some of the trees are on their service
drop.
Also on this week we replaced the overloaded transformer. On the other day I was on the tapping
team, because construction team was on the task force at mabini batangas. Tapping team is the one who
tapped the newly applied service meter. The foreman on that team teach me how to connect the service

For this week we are assigned to join the maintenance team. We pursue on the reported one block
trouble on one of the barangay in tanauan city. We found the cause of brown out which is a bamboo was
being tapped on the primary line and caused short circuit. On the second and third day of the week. Engineer
Ragasa was joined the team and assigned us to install the donated sockets, switches and light bulbs to the
On the other day of this week, we also done the same as we done on the previous weeks. We remove
pole that is damaged by the road widening and also tapping of new service meter. Since the tapping team
cannot accommodate the other request. Because on the previous weeks, delivery of service meter is being
hold, that’s why the number of service memo for tapping is increased.

conducted, an eight hour power shutdown to different barangays is occur. This is to ensure that no line mans
are being electrocuted while performing the clearing operation. Trees near the primary line causes electrical
fault because when the rain comes, and tress become wet, when it touches the primary or secondary line
this can cause a short circuit, this is because trees that are wet is a potential neutral or ground.
Being an intern on Distribution Company makes me more knowledgeable, it makes me more realize
that the trouble on power distribution is normally high when it comes to rainy season, especially on province
area.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINEE
SUCCESS STORY AND TESTIMONIAL
Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research, or service- learning opportunity, including your day-to-
day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.
As the OJT goes on, I really enjoyed every task and assignments that’s been assigned to me, especially
when it comes to actual. Every task and assignment given, can be applied in our field of expertise.
Electrical engineer in power distribution is a good experience, this experience helps me to understand
more the different difficulties, and safety procedure in distributing power. Patience to consumers is very
important, especially when power breakdown occurs.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?
Being a field engineer was really enjoyed position, where on every task is being conducted, proper
instillation and safety of worker must always be consider. Our engineer says that if one line man is being
electric shocked, engineer is the first liable to the accident, it is because before the line man climb on the
pole or do its task, engineer and fore man must know if it is safe or not.
What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another opportunity?
I can say that in Batangas Electric Cooperative Inc. knowledge about power distribution is the most
gained learnings that I have. Power distribution on this field is different from power distribution on
household or buildings. In this company we can apply all our expertise being an electrical engineer, we
are not just focus on designing but also applying it in the actual. I am able to learn all electrical related
works when it comes to power distribution. This is a good practice of being an electrical engineer than
other company has to offer.
How do you see your experience as meaningful? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information
you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve completed.
This experience will be a decent help when I apply for my first employment, I can gladly say that I take
in a great deal from my 240 hours of temporary position. The attitudes that I accumulated and the
mentality towards specific conditions will be my key for my first employment sooner rather than later. At
the point when the venture is done, one day I can state that I'm a piece of that venture by one means or
another
Please provide a short quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit /
the internship placement process
The short quote I liked the most is that “safety first before action is done.” Because on power distribution,
high voltage as much as 13.8kV is present, on a split of a second, when safety is not consider, life of an
individual is can be lost.
