Dear Reader,

Welcome to my online writing portfolio. This isn’t my frst time to

make a portfolio, but making a work immersion portfolio is kind of

different from my past portfolio making. Making a work immersion

portfolio in the middle of crisis is really weird and challenging. Why? It

is because I don’t have enough experienced or should I say I literally

don’t have experienced about it. As I’ve said a while ago it’s a weird

stuff since I/we don’t undergo in the process of

on-the job training for our wok immersion due to this pandemic. But it

makes me excited and challenge at the same time about its outcome

since it’s not the usual work immersion portfolio making which we used

to

This portfolio will give you advance knowledge about Work

immersion. As my experience to interview with other people, since we

don’t undergo On-the job training. I found out that everyone is unique

in their own way like their experiences, perception, intelligence,

creativity, genetics, personality and many more. I learn a lot of advices

came from my interviewee that “you must know how to deal with

people or costumer, you must know the real meaning of the word

respect, you must know that not everyone can’t deal with your

personality, you must know your limitations.”

 Again, If you want to know the outcome adventure of my online

work immersion in the middle of this pandemic. Sit in a comfortable

place in your house; get a snack or beverage etc. I hope you’ll

appreciate the time I took for this portfolio, I’m hoping that the

dedication I gave May encourage most of you and my experience will

give you aspiration. I believe you will experience it too. Enjoy reading,

keep safe.

Sincerely,

Lu, Ricky C. Jr

THE DEPARTMENT PROFILE

 The Bureau of Fire Protection was formed from the units of the

Philippine Integrated National Police's Office of Fire Protection Service

on January 29, 1991, through a law named Republic Act 6975 creating

the present Interior Department and placing the fre service under its

control.[6]

The enactment of Republic Act 6975, otherwise known as the

Department of Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 which took

effect on January 1, 1991 paved the way for the establishment of the

Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and

Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) as separate entities.

(Section 53 to 59) and carried-out through the provisions of Rule VII

(Sections 49 to 58) of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the

said law. The organiaation was then placed under the direct

supervision of the DILG Undersecretary for Peace and Order. The

succeeding approval of the Appropriation Act of 1991 has also caused

 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

According to City of Fire Department, cooking, heating, and

electrical equipment are among the leading causes of home fres year-

round. “As people spend much more time at home and engage in

activities that signifcantly contribute to the home fre problem, it’s

critical that they recogniae where potential haaards exist and what

they can do to prevent fres.”

Cooking is the leading cause of home fres and is responsible for

nearly half (49 percent) of all reported home fres involving cooking

equipment. Moreover, unattended cooking is the leading cause of

home cooking fres, meaning that home cooking fres occur most often

when people aren’t keeping a close eye on what they’re cooking.

As many households are now dealing with unusual routines and

out-of-the-ordinary circumstances, such as kids home from school and

parents working from home, there’s greater potential for distracted

cooking.

City Fire Department statistic show that heating equipment is the

second-leading cause of home fres, resulting increasing cases of

 fre. Electrical distribution or lighting equipment is involved in an

annual average

With these concerns in mind, City Fire Department reminds the public

to use best practices for staying fre-safe during the COVID-19

pandemic and beyond:

Cooking

 Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or

broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time,

turn off the stove.

 If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly,

remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind

you that you are cooking.

 Keep anything that can catch fre — oven mitts, wooden utensils,

food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.

 Make sure all handles are turned inward, away from where

someone can grab a hot handle or tip a pan over.

 Be on alert. If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, refrain

from using the stove or stovetop.

 If you have young children in your home, create a “kid-free aone”

of at least 3 feet (1 meter) around the stove and areas where hot food

or drink is prepared or carried.

Heating

 Keep anything that can burn at least three-feet (one meter) away

from heating equipment, like the furnace, freplace, wood stove, or

portable space heater.

 Have a three-foot (one meter) “kid-free aone” around open fres

and space heaters.

 Never use your oven to heat your home.

 Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or

going to bed.

 Always use the right kind of fuel, specifed by the manufacturer,

for fuel burning space heaters.

 Install and maintain carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to avoid the

risk of CO poisoning. If you smell gas in your gas heater, do not light

the appliance. Leave the home immediately and call your local fre

department or gas company.

 Electrical

 When charging smartphones and other digital devices, only use

the charging cord that came with the device.

 Do not charge a device under your pillow, on your bed or on a

couch.

 Only use one heat-producing appliance (such as a coffee maker,

toaster, space heater, etc.) plugged into a receptacle outlet at a time.

 Major appliances (refrigerators, dryers, washers, stoves, air

conditioners, microwave ovens, etc.) should be plugged directly into a

wall receptacle outlet. Extension cords and plug strips should not be

used.

 Check electrical cords to make sure they are not running across

doorways or under carpets. Extension cords are intended for

temporary use.

 Use a light bulb with the right number of watts. There should be

a sticker that indicates the right number of watts.

In addition, smoke alarms should be located on every level of the

home, in each bedroom, and near all sleeping areas. Test them

monthly to make sure they’re working. NFPA also strongly encourages

households develop and practice a home escape plan to ensure that

everyone knows what to do in a fre and can escape quickly and safely.
 THE PORTFOLIO MAKING PROCCESS

JOURNAL

February 21, 2021

Today was the frst day of my adventure. The day that I have

prepared of, every interview felt like the frst time always, so I’m

literally nervous about its outcome. Many what if’s entered in my mind.

Like what if I ask the wrong or inappropriate questions? What would be

my interviewee’s point of view about me?

A few hours passed, I’m glad that I did my part well. I gathered

all the information’s that I need. I went home with a smile on my face

and prepare again for the next chapter of my adventure.

February 22, 2021

Second day and the literally beginning of my portfolio making

adventure. I went to the department that I choose which is my school.

To collect and take a pictures of what I need for my porfolio making,

including its main office and their organiaational structure chart.

February 30, 2021

Third day of my portfolio making, I went to my classmate’s

house and undergo a group study to fnally start our portfolio and
applied all the information’s that we gathered from our interviewee’s.

And for us to help each other when we can’t understand something.

March 3,2021

It's been a few days since we started a group study, so we

decided to do another group study again. To help some of our

classmates who is still struggling and still have difficulty to understand

what portfolio is, what are they going to do to start their portfolio

making? Since we’re not having on-the job training, especially the late

comers.

March 4, 2021
Today was the last day of my adventure in making my portfolio, I

fnally fnished encode all of the information’s, data gathered that I

need to indicate. I wasn’t able to experience what work immersion is,

what On-the job training experienced is. But I’m glad that I fnish it

with the help of my friends and classmates.

Honestly I literally had a hard time during making this, but I

must say that, although this wasn’t the ideal portfolio making that I’m

expecting but still it manage me to have challenge, excitement and

enjoyment.

OVERALL REFLECTION AND SELF-APPRAISAL

 “Experience is the most teacher of things”(Julius Ceasar).This

quote keep reminding me that I should be always grateful because I

learn so much things once in my life. I realiae that making a portfolio

without enough and proper knowledge was really challenging. It was

unforgettable experience and really good start, I hope I will able to

experience how does it feel to be in work place, someday. For the

instance, I was very blessed to have my portfolio making in different

places with different companions especially City Fire Department.

At frst, I was really nervous to communicate with other people.

I’m a quiet person to be honest; I never really talk up around with the

people to whom I’m not comfortable with, unless we’re so close. I

thought that my interviewee would be indignant but I was wrong, his is

so approachable and communicative, ready to talk with and to impart

the knowledge that he have about working and other staff. So far, my

experience in making a portfolio was a pleasure and fun at the same

time. I can say that it is also somewhat boring because most of the

time was wasted after I’ve done my task. Why? Because I need to wait

an update from the portal and from our work immersion adviser if it is

they already have a submission box.

After my portfolio making, I discerned some things that will

really be useful for my future. First, punctuality is very important

because in this simple way, you can show how serious you are to your

future job, next would be honesty and sincerity because when it comes
to work place it’s actually has some way on your decisions; it can gain

loyalty. Then, consistency is especially important in work place

because it will lead you to patience and perseverance to the tasks that

they’re going to give you, as well as the times that you’re just waiting

for the next task that will be given to you. I believe that if you are

persistent you will get it, if you are consistent you will keep it. Don’t

stress out yourself for your work, if it is not done yet, try to give a

break then continue it, life goes on ; breathe deeply, calm yourself

because calm people have better attitudes. Know your limitations

because not all the people can deal with your personality, be a genuine

and true person because being like that will makes people happy to

you; Always have a positive mind because positivity is next to

tranquility. Surround yourself with a positive people because I believe

that if you are always with negative people who complain everything

then you will also become a complainer and see the world as negative

as they do. Lastly don’t be afraid to say what you want to say because

your opinion is a matter for everyone.

To sum up it all, I learn so much things and experience what I

haven’t experience in my whole life. I learn how to deal with behavior. I

learn how to budget my time. I learn to cooperate and my social life

becomes wide because I’ve been together with so much different kind

of people. I am forever grateful for this experience that I will treasure

the most.
