use of computer.

In addition, the intern was assigned to arrange and scan the files of all the
employees. It was a time consuming and exhausting job since they needed to sort
out all the papers from the pre-employment of the employee up to their present work.
Lastly, the intern was also entrusted to do several works like laminating the
IDs of the employees, assembling a central processing unit and cleaning of the
The administrative and finance division was a good training area for the intern
for the reason that it really fits the information technology program. The working
environment was very light because the employees at the host training establishment
were very much approachable. The staffs were willing to share all the information
they know that could help the interns in the future. It was really an advantage that the
intern was assigned under the data encoding which is one of the subjects of
information technology students. Another strength of the division was that they were
exposed to a production industry so that the data encoding can make a lot of
systems that is needed for the development of the HTE. With this, solutions to

Daily Journal
This was the first day of my internship at Indang Water District with my
thesismate, Jhon Kelvin. I did not expect to start at this day since it is Friday, I
thought that we would start on Monday, but our coordinator told us that we could start
already. Mr. Genrell, our supervisor, told us to make a login form using notepad++
and bootstrap. I am not familiar with bootstrap since our school is only using html, but
then I found out that it’s cool to use it because the output is way better than the
others and the buttons have already simple designs. After doing the program, our
supervisor gave us a break and he told us to continue it on our house, and that we
will be showing it to him on our second day. Our morning break is from 10:00 to
10:30, our lunch break is from 12:00 to 1:00, and lastly, our afternoon break is from
3:00-3:30. Ten minutes before our morning and afternoon break, we performed an
exercise like stretching because the employees at Indang Water District do lots of
office work that requires them to just sit and sit. The day before our first day, they told
us to bring basketball attire because we’re going to play basketball since it’s a Friday.
You’ll be choosing between the two options: play basketball or zumba dance, but it is
not mandatory to join them. Since my hobby is to play basketball, I chose it. It was a
fun first day, I learned a lot and get to know them better. I am looking forward to my

need to get our Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to pass it to our respective Host

searched the internet on how to make a cool form and I made it. I also tried doing
other programs using bootstrap, so I can explore it more and to learn a lot in it. This
Second day of our internship and we started to arrange the 201 files of all the
employees part by part, starting from the day they joined the Indang Water District.
This 201 consists of their medical records, saln, pre-employment, certificates and
many more, we need to put them at their respective labels since they are
unarranged. That’s what we did the whole day and same as the first day we did our
daily routine of exercising. If there are free times, Mr. Genrell teaches us on how to
Third day of our internship and there is a new intern which is also our
classmate, Ivan. We are still arranging the 201 files of all the employees. It is quite
hard to arrange it since some of the employees are at the Indang Water District for a
long time ago, they already have a lot of accomplishments which we is obligatory to
compile. There are also some papers which are put somewhere else and is needed
to be find. We punched the papers to arrange it and we also replaced the old folders
with a new ones. Same as the other days, we did our daily routine and that ended my
third day.
On our fourth day, we still continued to arrange the 201 files of all the
employees and we already finished it before our lunch break. At 1pm, after our lunch
break, our HR, Ms. Kris, told us that we need to scan all the 201 files. We were
16
shocked since it’s a lot of paper works to do, but of course, we can’t complain. We
got the scanner and put it in our cubicle, but the problem is the cable of the scanner
is missing. We’re sort of happy since the cable is missing. We tried finding it, but we
really can’t find it. Mr. Genrell was absent that time, so they told us to just do it next
week.
On this day, all we did was to make a program of rows and column. Honestly,
I really don’t know what to do, but with the help of the internet, I learned how to do it.
Mr. Genrell was also guiding us on how to do it easily and fast. It really feels good to
learn new things in programming, I suddenly felt like I’m already a programmer. All
you need is patience and perseverance to learn. After office hours, we played
basketball again. That’s how the last day of the week and my fifth day of internship
goes.
8:00 in the morning. There is a new intern, which is our friend and classmate, Jose.
He started late compared to us because he left his first training company and moved
to Indang Water District with us. We started scanning the 201 files using the Epson
scanner and printer. It took us a lot of time to scan the files using Epson, so we
this application, we can save time and can do the work faster than the usual. After
scanning it using our phones, we just transferred it to the computer to compile it.
My seventh day at Indang Water District. We continued to scan the 201 files,
we still have a lot of papers to scan. Since we are located at the second floor of the
building, we need to go down to do our daily routine of exercising before our break.
When it’s already our break there is a small canteen at the front of Indang Water
District building and that’s where we buy our foods. During the afternoon break, we
just make coffee or milo, since it’s free in the office. That’s how my day ended,
files and did our daily routine. During the afternoon after our lunch break, our
supervisor told us to take a break in scanning those papers. So what we did was we
made a program using the PHP application. In here, we made rows and columns
manually, inputted some data and printed it afterwards. I really thought it was an
easy task to do those rows and columns, but it is really a difficult one. It’s already
5:00 in the afternoon and I haven’t finish my work, I told Mr. Genrell that I will just
finish it the next day. I am hoping to learn a lot as each day passes by.
making rows and columns, then print it afterwards. I finished it just in time before our
break. During lunch break, we went to Jollibee to eat our lunch there. It’s a free meal
treated by our supervisor. We were so happy since we can save some of our money.
After lunch break, we scanned again the 201 files, there are too many papers to scan
that’s why we finished only four folders of it. It’s an achievement for us since our work

Last day of the week and my tenth day of internship. We continued to scan
the 201 files of the employees in the morning. During our lunch break, there is a
vendor who sells food inside the building, me and my co-interns tried it and it was
good and also cheap. I bought one rice, afritada and lumpiang gulay, it costs me just
55 pesos. In the afternoon, Mr, Genrell needed us that’s why we stopped scanning
the 201 files. He ordered us to input some data on the system that he’s been working
on. This system will be useful for the entire Indang Water Distric and he showed us
some ways on how to do it. Before going home, at 5:00 in the afternoon, there is a
flag retreat. And this is what they do when you are working in a government
institution. Every last Friday of the month, there is a flag retreat. Since it’s a Friday, I
forgot to bring my basketball attire, so I need to go home first and join them. This is
We started our day with a flag ceremony since it’s a Monday. First thing we
did was to scan again the 201 files of the employees. Mr. Genrell called us and told
us that we’re going to assemble, fix and clean some of the personal computers of the
employees. We arranged the entangled cords and clean the memory cards using an
eraser. Having an unclean memory card can affect the performance of the computer.
There’s an about 7 personal computers that we cleaned. And that’s what we did the
whole day.
This should be the twelfth day of my internship, but it is raining cats and dogs,
because they told me that Governor Remulla suspended all the classes in Cavite and
they thought that the trainees are included, I explained it to them, but still their
The twelfth day of my internship. All we did this day was to scan the
remaining papers and do our daily routines in the office – do quick exercises before
break time, went outside to buy some food and make coffee and milo in the
afternoon. This is how my day went and looking forward to another day.
On this day, Mrs. Kris Jane Panganiban, the person whom you will consult to
apply for water connection, called me downstairs to arrange the papers of approved
water installation per barangay. These papers must be in alphabetical order and
there’s more than 30 persons per barangay. Indang is consist of 36 barangays, so it’s
a lot of work to do and I’m the only one who’s going to do it since my colleagues were
upstairs. Time goes by and I didn’t notice the time, I haven’t finished my work since it
requires a lot of effort. Mrs. Panganiban told me that I can already go and that she’ll
arranged the approved papers of water installation. I already finished about 1/3 of the
papers, but I still can’t finish it. I’m resting when my eyes are hurting and when my
back is already aching. I got a free meal from Mrs. Panganiban from the work that I
am doing. I am thankful for my hard work is being paid off. It’s a Friday but I went
home immediately because my friends has a game and I am going to watch them
play. I didn’t join them on playing and told them that I will play next week.
It’s a rainy Monday morning, so there is no flag ceremony. Last day of doing
papers before lunch. During lunch break, we went to Bañadero near Cavite State
University to eat sisig there. It was good and tasty, and we will go back there surely.
After lunch break, I worked again upstairs to scan the 201 files of all the employees.
While scanning, Mr. Genrell told us that the files we scanned must be renamed on
what type of file they are e.g. certificate of training. After that we’re going to put the
file name we retitled on excel, so he can easily put it on the database of the system
that he’s been doing. Another tasks to do and quite a burden of work because we
need to find all the files we scanned and rename it. That’s all the things we did that
scanned and move the renames on excel. During morning break, we went to
Poblacion Dos to eat luglug that costs only 10 pesos. During lunch break, we ate at
Manang’s and the food there was really delicious. During our afternoon break, we
supervisor is already present and he was the one who taught us how to laminate. It
was easy than what I expected. We laminated all the IDs of the employees. During
21
lunch break, I went to the house of my girlfriend because it’s his grandfather’s
birthday, I ate there and went back to work. We still laminated the IDs of the
Friday work day and my 19th day of internship, but I worked half day
because I have a stomach ache. We renamed again the scanned 201 files of the
employees and during the morning break, we ate at minute burger treated by our
supervisor. We went back and we still have time so we opened our social media
accounts. At 10:30, we did our work again. I went home during lunch time because I
Monday, the 20th day of my internship, and I was called downstairs to attach
the additional papers to the already arranged ones. I was called to do this task
because I have done it before and I already know what do. It was time consuming
that’s why I didn’t notice that it’s already lunch break. We bought food outside the
establishment and we ate it there. After lunch time, I was assigned upstairs to
rename the files assigned to me. And that’s how my day goes on.
21st day of my internship, Tuesday, our head talk to us that we need to finish
the 201 files before our internship ends. It’s difficult for us since there’s a lot of
employee files that we need to arrange, scan and rename. We need to do it one by
one. The problem was it’s not just the things that we do, sometimes their instructing
us to do other things. But we told her that we can finish it before our internship ends,
even though we’re not sure about it. The solution that we came up is to double our
22
time and work fast as we could. Back to work after lunch and that’s just how my day
goes.
As usual, we just arrange the files, scanned them and rename it. We were
having a conversation while doing our tasks to lighten the mood of our surroundings.
During lunch time, I went to my girlfriend’s house to eat there since she told me that
she cooked something for me. After lunch break, we continue to work with our tasks
and we set a goal on the things that we need to finish. That’s how my 22 nd day of
internship goes.
Thursday, 23rd day of my internship, and we don’t have any break time on this
day because we have a lot of things to do and finished. We still scanned and
renamed the files of each of the employees. Since, we set an objective of the things
we need to finish, we tried hard to finish it on that day, so that it would be lighter for
us on the next days. During lunch time, we ate as fast as we could, so that we can
get back to work and do our tasks. It was really a jam-packed day because of the
24th day of my internship and our head told us that we need to rest and
breathe some air. There is an employee who has a birthday, so during our break
time, we have a free food such as pizza, softdrinks and chicken. We sung happy
birthday to him and say our thanks for the food he have given us. The day goes by
doing the things that we usually do. It was a Friday and it’s flag retreat day for all of
us before we can go home. Since, it’s a Friday, it’s basketball time for the men
Last day of my training program from Indang Water District and it felt surreal
for me since I exerted all of my effort throughout my training. Mrs. Rodrin called me
to list the things that I have done for my completion form and grades. This day was
very light for me, since I did not have a lot of activities to do. I processed all my
necessary requirements for the completion. During lunchtime, our head treated me
as sign of farewell and thanksgiving for all the support, help and assistance all
throughout the on-the-job training. I bid goodbye to each of the employees and told
Problems Encountered

supervisor, was shared with the intern’s. The intern was really anxious about that
idea because of the feeling of pressure and too much expectation upon the novice’s
shoulders.
The internship program was really tiring for the intern due to the assigned
such as sorting and arranging of papers, scanning of files, renaming of the scanned
files and making of programs. Another was most of the times, another employee will
order the intern to do this workload when the intern was not yet finish with his work.
The production of work was really difficult because the intern doesn’t know what he
will do first and the time is also limited. Lastly, the intern experienced difficulties in
coping with new software applications that was used in making programs during the

The intern just gave the best that he can do to overcome the feeling of fears
and doubts. In addition, the supervisors and staffs were very approachable up to the
point that they were willing to share everything that they know. They really
considered the interns as part of their family. In terms of the workload, the intern
managed and maximized the time that he had every day to be able to accomplish
every task that was given to him. Time management skills were really improved and
enhanced through the countless activities and hardship experienced during the
internship program. And also if the intern did not understand a thing, asking for
advice and opinions from the supervisor and other employees was really essential.
Over-All Reflections
During the training, the intern was able to expand the knowledge and skills
programs and designing systems were being imparted to the intern. Applications of
several IT tools were also learned by the intern such as making forms, rows and
columns using bootstrap and designing system using different kinds of applications.
Mastery of Microsoft Excel was also enhanced because it was the major program
The internship program also taught the intern that everything came from hard
work and not all the things were being imparted in the school. Willingness to do work
was really important to be able to learn a lot and improve the knowledge and skills
