WEEK 1: Weekly Journal with DILG


 June 13-16, 2023  

Week 1 with DILG, the first thing that I've noticed is the way they welcome people, it is very pleasing entering a place where you meet people saying good morning with a smile and a hello how's your day. I've seen a lot of faces and offices that we've visited by the tour one thing that embarked with my head is how they work tirelessly and continuously with a smile on their face. They are very well focused and active in times that I have questions. They have their own individual computers where they are looking at it straight, I wonder how many times they blink just to clear their sight if it gets irritated by the radiation or get dry because of coldness. I've noticed them going in and out in every office to deliver papers or to have them signed. 

The office is very silent and a bit cold, maybe I'm still not used to cold room temperature but before I forgot, they always observe to put the air-condition to 24°c to remain at their energy consumption and that clearly shows how they follow orders. I love how they answer questions and teach me in a way that I won't be intimidated or be afraid to ask. Sometimes we have minimal conversations to get to know each other, I like how they treat me, and they also call me Ma'am which is I'm not used to it. They are really working on time, they arrive early and leave late or exactly 8 hours of time. 

This is the office that I am assigned. The Strategy and Results Management Unit where my mentor is Ms. Ma. Jenica D. Villabeto LGOO V. Along with her are Sir Aljon, Ma'am Janine, Ma'am Rosemae, I haven't got others name, but they are all friendly. They assist me on things that I don't know, they make sure that I remember it. As the first week started the process of sending and receiving letters are the first thing that I've learned in order for the documents to be found where it was delivered and monitor if it was received. I was also given a chance to borrow a manual that serves the brand identity of the DILG for me to learn the logos and the right place where to put logos. Though I haven't had a lot of works it was also okay because I can observe the environment of this office.

WEEK NINE: Weekly Journal with DILG

August 7-11 Our last week was the most stressful one. We were worrying about how we could have a conversation with our participants. Luckily, one of our first participants finally agreed to have an interview with us but hurriedly left because they had some work to do. We did the last minute change of participants and we are happy that they actually participated with us. For our KII we had interviewed LGMED and Legal Office Chiefs and things went well. This last week was the most stressful week for us. As we journey to the finish line on our policy paper.Those participants that we needed weren't really willing to help us despite the letters, referrals that we sent to them.We went to their barangay just to have no one even one representative to face us, It seems that SK officials are really questionable about their commitment in terms of serving the public.

WEEK EIGHT: Weekly Journal With DILG

  July 31- August 4 It was a blast!! A heavy week but a very fruitful one. This event, I can consider one of the main event in my internship. I have interacted with different people I have discussed different ideas and shared my creative thoughts. Local Investment and Incentives Code is a workshop where different municipalities discuss and generate their LIIC and those participants were very active and jolly. At the time we were preparing tools and things to be utilized on the activity and I've been questioning myself if I could handle to participate because of my social anxiety in which in LGSF last time there were not so many participants and only a small room but for LIIC it was a huge one and there were really like 2 times bigger number of participants during the LGSF. During the first day I was a bit cautious cause I don't want to make a scene like what if I make a mistake or do something unethical but I pulled it through. I was able to communicate with different personali...

June 19-23 Starting my week Work from Home. With DILG Interns could choose what day he or she wants to do WFH. You just have to attend the virtual flag ceremony and be available 8 am to 5pm to your mentor if he/she has something to ask you for work. It is very convenient for us interns and also for the employees especially to those who lives a bit far or have issues with traffics on the day like Monday. My mentor Ms. Jenica is so amiable; she doesn't make me feel unease and my doubts doing a good work has lessen because she corrects and answer my questions attentively.  They've let me borrow laptop and have my own desk. It's really a thumbs up with DILG . Last June 23, 2023 we had an orientation regarding the DILG and the LGRRC and I've learned the structure and function of DILG including its brothes and sisters which on the interior part of the DILG.   I've attended 1 special meeting of the LGRRC where I was able to take down notes. While the meeting was on Roll Ca...
