ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This portfolio would not be possible if I was not born in this world. Hence, I would like to
acknowledge God for giving me everything in this life and even for giving me the opportunity
to live.
For my mother, who, throughout her pregnancy, took daily medications that helped me to hold
on to her and live, and caring for me until I become what I am today.
My father who has always been beside my mother and supported our family in terms of security,
love, food at the table, and other things I cannot put into words.
Mam Ann Tasarra who let us, senior high school students do our immersion in their facility and
Sir Alexander Grande who took care of us in terms of our safety, guided us in our innocence and
our ignorance, our schoolworks, and so on.
To my fellow co-trainees who became my moral support, when there are times that are not
quite exciting, they put all the fun in our vacant times, who helped me in every way such as the
instructions and paperworks which I only have little knowledge of.
All the teachers who I have been with, and all the teachers who taught today, I salute them for
their efforts and their sacrifice for us students... thank you.
DEDICATION
I dedicate this portfolio first and foremost to my parents who have been behind my back,
supporting me in their own ways. I also dedicate this to my teachers since I was young, learning
every little thing that I needed to learn to face challenges in my life; to the junior high school
teachers who let us experience things that I would always go back to and remember. Lastly, for
everything that happened to me now, and all that would happen to me tomorrow, to the one
who guides, the one who has the power, to the almighty God the Father, the son and the Holy
Spirit, everything I do is in your name.
PART I: IMPORTANT POINTS IN
WORK IMMERSION
INTRODUCTION
Work Immersion is one of the course requirements for graduation. A Senior High School
student has to undergo Work Immersion in an industry that directly relates to the
student’s postsecondary goal. Through Work Immersion, the students are exposed to and
become familiar with work-related environment related to their field of specialization
to enhance their competence. Specifically, the students are able to: (i) gain relevant and
practical industrial skills under the guidance of industry experts and workers; (ii)
appreciate the importance and application of the principles and theories taught in school; (iii)
enhance their technical knowledge and skills; (iv) enrich their skills in
communications and human relations; and (v) develop good work habits, attitudes,
appreciation, and respect for work. These prepare them to meet the needs and challenges
Work immersion will help develop among the learners life and career skills, and will prepare
them to make decisions on postsecondary education or employment. Through partnership
building, DepEd hopes that the Partner Institutions will provide learners with work immersion
opportunities, workplace or hands-on experience, and additional learning resources. It aims to
make the learners:
1. Appreciate the importance and application of the principles and theories learned in
school;
By the time learners reach Senior High School, they would have already acquired almost all the
competencies and skills that would prepare them for the curriculum exits (higher education,
employment, middle-skills development, and entrepreneurship). Work immersion provides
them with an avenue to test themselves and apply what they have learned in a non-school
scenario. In work immersion, learners are not only able to apply their previous training but are
also able to experience the social interactions in a work environment. Their experiences during
work immersion will develop many skills and values that would help them as they transition
from high school to real life.
Values and Attributes of a Student in a Work Immersion
As a student who is in a work immersion, here are some values and attributes that will
help you propel and have a meaningful experience.
1. Responsible
In a work environment, there are targets to be achieved on a daily or monthly basis. As such, it
is important to do your part in the whole process. Ensure that you deliver your work with quality,
commitment and on time.
For example, if a certain project was given to you, do your research. Do it accurately. If there
are any difficulties, inform your supervisor ahead of time.
2. Adaptable
In a work environment, there are dynamic activities and processes.Be ready to accept change.
For an instance, due to lack of budget, you were assigned to find sponsorship for a marketing
event. You might want to learn how to network and how to negotiate in the process of asking
for sponsorship.
3. Professional
Even though you are just a student in a work immersion, it would be great to exhibit
professionalism. Come to meetings and work on time. Dress up properly. Watch your language.
Comply with company policies.
Work ethics is the set of work principles you live by. Show to your colleagues and supervisors
that you are dedicated to your job in the immersion. Avoid complaining about tasks given to
you. Be honest. Avoid giving excuses. Do not submit sloppy work. Stay focused on what need to
be done.
PART II: THE WORKPLACE
COMPANY PROFILE
Further, it offers a broad spectrum of academic programs through its colleges. It consists
of three campuses in Gensan — the main campus along Marist Avenue, the Notre Dame of
Dadiangas University-Integrated Basic Education Department or NDDU-IBED Lagao Campus
and the Espina Campus. NDDU has been a member of the Notre Dame Educational
Association, a group of Notre Dame Schools in the Philippines under the patronage of
the Blessed Virgin Mary.
BRIEF HISTORY OF NOTRE DAME DADIANGAS UNIVERSITY
Integrated Basic Education Department
HIGH SCHOOL
Notre Dame of Lagao was founded in 1947 by the Oblate Fathers in response to the
educational needs of the community in those post-war days. It was a co-educational school then.
In 1952, four Marist Brothers led by Br. Joseph Damian Teston, FMS took over the first group.
Brothers Edmund Concrad, Michael O’keefe and Dennis Herman were in the first group. The
Marist Brothers invited the Dominican Sister of Siena to take care of the girls, thus, creating two
separate departments, the Boy’s Department and the Girl’s Department.
In the early days, Lagao drew students from all the surrounding barrios and sitios
reaching as far as Kiamba, Glan, and Tupi. Many students travelled to the school from the
neighboring Dadiangas. Although the Brothers secured a truck to relieve these students of
Dadiangas of the arduous daily trek, it was not sufficient. So bold step was taken-an annex to
Notre Dame of Lagao was opened in Dadiangas. Thus, the seed for what is now Notre Dame of
Dadiangas University was planted in 1953.
The first Brothers working in Dadiangas used to reside in Lagao. By 1958, the Brothers
again invited the Dominican Sisters to take over the administration of the girls ‘department at
Dadiangas. In 1959, the Brothers moved the boys’ high school department to a new site and
gave the original site to the Sisters for the Notre Dame of Dadiangas for girls.
From 1959 to 1981, the Marist Brothers operated two schools, the Notre Dame of Lagao for
boys catering to high school student and the Notre Dame of Dadiangas College catering to
elementary, high school and college students.
In 1982, the initial phase of merging the Boys’ Department of the ND Dadiangas and the
ND Lagao was initiated. From SY 1983-1984 to SY 1985-86, the full merging of both schools was
completed. The school was named Notre Dame of Dadiangas College High School Boys’
Department, Lagao Campus. With the evolution of time, co-educational was deemed necessary
for a whole-rounded development of a student’s life. NDDC succumbs to this necessity. Thus, it
caters to both high school boys and girls starting school year 1998-199. It was named Notre Dame
of Dadiangas College High School Department, Lagao.
The high school department pursued PAASCU accreditation in school year 1997-1998
with the prelimary survey. The three-year accreditation was granted on May 4, 2001.
In school year 2002-2003, the IBED structure was conceptualized with the aim to fully
articulate the programs and activities of the basic education department having both
elementary and high school in one campus. The restricting of the Elementary and High School
Department as IBED specifically aims to articulate coherently the Marist Culture as stated in the
vision-mission and objectives of the school ; to align curricular,co-curricular and extra-curricular
programs and activities so as to form the desired graduates of the Marist institution; to have a
coordinated implementation of programs/policies related to basic education personnel and to
maximize resources by sharing personnel, facilities and equipment.
The First PAASCU Resurvey Visit was on August 23-24, 2004. The clean five-year
reaccreditation was granted on January 31, 2005.
On June 26, 2006, CHED has granted NDDC a University status, thus, it was named
Notre Dame of Dadiangas University. Living up to the expectation of the community from a
newly-declared University, School Year 2008-2009 was full of big events in the academic life of
the school.
The Second PAASCU Resurvey Visit was on October 12-13, 2009. The High School
Department was granted five-year reaccreditation on November 25, 2014.
At present, the High School Department is now called Notre Dame of Dadiangas
University Integrated Basic Education Department Junior High School Lagao Campus.
“It is not what you think, it is how you think. Let do it the Marist way,” is the motto that
instigated the Marist Community to pursue the International. Organization for Standardization
(ISO) 9001:2008 Certification. The institution went through the first stage of certification on
November 12, 2013 and was followed by the second stage on December 12-14, 2013. On February
20, 2014 the school was granted an ISO certification.
Notre Dame of Dadiangas University was recommended by the TUV Nord Philippines,
Inc. the maintenance of certification of ISO 9001:2008 during its first surveillance audit on
December 10-11, 2014. With this, the university foresees a more dynamic school imbued with the
rich Marist tradition of providing quality Christian education to all-faithful to its motto, “In order
to educate children you must love them.”

PART IV:
ACTIVITY REPORT
DAILY ACCOMPLISH REPORT
The students that were assigned at the same week had come together and joined
to ride on tricycle to NDDU-IBED. The rooms does not show the section because of the
earthquake. The students and I came to the assistant principals office in order to make sure and
ask where the rooms of the sections assigned to us. The room that is assigned to me was the
computer lab 2. Before going into my own room I had to guide my co-workers or the students
who were the same schedule as I am to their rooms because I was an alumnus at the same time
The room was cold so I planned to bring jacket. It was also air conditioned so my
sweat in my back would become dry and could lead me to coughing, because of that I planned
that the next day I would change my uniform into extra shirt that I would bring. I asked the
every subject teachers that came to the class and all I gathered was Ynzle Collina, Victor
Lomocso, Kaye Alforque, Jane Duay, Karen, Jeanne Trinidad, Homey Angel S. Arsenal. I had
difficulty in doing the task where I need to ask for the 2nd subject teacher in the afternoon for
their signature in our time in because he was new, and he was not familiar so I need to push
through my shyness and ask for his name, his subject, and his signature. It was simpler for the
next subjects and some teachers such as Victor Lomocso because he was familiar.
IMMERSION JOURNAL ENTRY # 3
December 4, 2019
I did not ask if it was a violation but I took the risk of changing my clothes in
order to avoid having phlegm that would eventually leads into cough and if not cured by my
own immune system, taking of anti-biotics. Nothing was quite happening. The class was the
same. They are still noisy and do not quite respect the teacher in front. Whenever they are asked
for recitation, they tend to ask others for help to their other classmates. The students did not
care even if I was observing in the back, they still go on their own doing if the teacher is out or
waiting for the next subject teacher. I had the urge to make them silent but as I was getting
ready to raise my voice the president reprimanded her classmates and the next subject teacher
got in.
To be honest I am kind off an introvert, so students did not took notice of me,
but one student greeted me and I greeted back for formality. I planned to gain their trust but
it was too much short of time, so I did not put too much effort, instead I observed the class, and
every student there is. I imagined myself back into that grade which is grade 7 where I want to
know if I was that noisy back then. The class was so noisy, and the president did not much control
the class. Even the working students in the lab were complaining how noisy the class was, so I
decided to raise my voice instructing them to lower their voices, that they were not only
disturbing me, the working students, the teacher that was in charge of the lab, they even disturb
other classes that was going on to other rooms. They were actually reprimanded by one teacher
and warned them that if they became very noisy one more time, they would be reassigned into
I was still assigned with the same class after becoming absent during my
supposed last duty which is December 6, because of sudden attack of migraine, where the extra
heat given by the Sun during that time and the room where I need to observe was cold. I asked
permission with our supervisor and let me do my last day today. There is no duty during
December 9 because the school celebrated its family day and the day after that would be no
class. They only had regular class and continued on regular lessons. They became more behaved
since the last time I observed, maybe because another observer came to their class because of
college students where the course they chose was education. I observed a little and during our
break I observed the campus and where I could walk with my break. I visited the areas where
once I stayed at the field, the court where varsity players had their practices, the classrooms
where I too have been, the trees, the plants, the garden behind our grade 10 rooms, the labs,
the library, it gives me a feeling of nostalgia, and I was imagining images that shows the things
I used to do, and what activities I used to have with my classmates and with my friends.
PART V:
REFLECTION
Work Immersion 2019-2020: NDDU-IBED LAGAO
There are a lot of things I have learned during the week was given to us in
observing new and old teachers that were educating students in different grade levels. This
immersion did not only gave us the opportunity to learn new many things but also to realize
what we need to do for the future and the new generations to come as we become the
educators of the country and with the help of God and opportunities the world.
During the week where I observed classes I begin to realize how important the
lessons that the teachers were delivering even though the students were still so young. I also
remembered the times where I was too at that age and when I did not gave too much care for
the lessons. Now that I was observing I really said to myself, I should have listened attentively,
because when I was that age, I listened but only when I became interested. I am one of those
students where I do not put too much effort in anything at all but still either passes or get high
grades even becomes honor, not like others where they put much effort just to maintain their
grades.
The place not only reminded me where I was from, but also reminded me of
where to go, what to do with the opportunities, and most important of them all is the memories
I gained with the best of people and the best of friends. I thank the school for giving me lessons
I’ve learned, teachers I’ve admired, and the friends I’ve loved.
Problem Encountered
1. First problem that we encountered was the distance, location of the immersion place.
Education is 3.6 kilometers which may take more or less 13 minutes, but it does not
measure the traffic that occurs in the streets between KCC, GAISANO, ROBINSONS,
which if we do not rush from our classes, there is a high possibility that we would be late.
2. Second problem was the location of rooms, luckily for me, an alumnus of the university,
although because of the earthquake some sections are not on their proper classrooms so
we had to go to principal’s office and ask for the locations of sections that we were
assigned.
I recommend that for the future generation, the facility must give free time for the
students where the one doing the immersion could experience a little of teaching, or recording
of scores, checking papers, and such that we, the students could apply in the future.
Secondly is the time of the immersion period, it is so short that we cannot absorb things
effectively. There are only little things that we could do in one week, in the future I suggest that
it must take at least a month.
Third is the scheduling of students doing their immersion. There are only five students
that could enter the facility in one week, where we are assigned in completely different sections,
the school may had made it one month and for at least 30 students do the immersion so they
could absorb the learnings and effectivity of teaching.
