WEEK FIVE: Weekly Journal with DILG

JULY 10-14 


At our 5th week on DILG we had a lot of things to do, we focused on the KM Serye as instructed by my mentor, I made the presentations and prepared the certificates for our target participants. I had also finished and signed our activity design and passed it to SRMU. There was time that we argued about the graphics that we will use because it causes us some delays. We went to see the regional director of DILG 6 and he asked us the reason why we want to conduct this study. He also made a recommendation on adding 1 or 2 reactors to maintain balance in the said topics. So, after our discussion we headed at our mentor's office and talked about who we can invite cause its already 3 days before the KM Serye and we need to rush because we need the reply already. So, I made the letter for Love Baronda. I was afraid if we can pull it thought a such a little time for the preparation and there were a lot of changes with regards to the activity. Adding the conditions, there was a strong low pressure that affected a bit on the internet connection. 



Before our KM Serye I was tasked with the minutes of the meeting regarding Dagyaw 2023 6th Regional Technical Working Group Meeting in which they have tackled topics in preparation with the 2nd episode of Dagyaw where their focus is to promote and hear problems coming from the agriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors. I've observed that they were really eager to let each small business sectors to be open in order to solve their different problems. I can see that the different focal persons attentively and actively participate in generating recommendations and ideas to make the activity more productive. 


   
 As our KM Serye was starting, we were reminded by our mentors especially Sir Medel and Sir Makoi to think of ourselves as employees of the DILG and we should not be afraid and be confident. As we have sent a regional order, we have observed that most of the participants are from different municipalities which shows how RO is powerful to compel the other LGU, officers and employees. I have seen that there are a lot of aspiring SK Officials that have attended and they were minimal questions that was asked to our guest speakers. My takeaways in this activity is that, me being one of the aspiring candidates who will run for the incoming SK Election, have ignited my spirit to lead the youth in greater tomorrow. i was satisfied by what I have learned especially to the SK Reform Law which I have further think to be my proposal for our policy paper.

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.

  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...
