WEEK SIX: Weekly Journal with DILG

 


JULY 17-21

I started the week 6 on a work from home format, waiting for my mentor to ask assistance or lend me some works. I messaged her last week regarding my topic and she told me that she'll send me the corrected format of my Policy paper topic and if my topic be chosen I will just focus on making our policy paper On this week, I can feel the pressure coming up for the Policy paper, knowing that only me and Nong Kevin will do the policy paper. I had a lot of though thinking if I can help him because I don't have that knowledge in setting up a policy paper even though we had already made one. But with his trust in me, by also encouraging e along with Ma'am Jenica, I found my confidence back. Nong kevin and I had topics in mind but Sir Makoi told us to go with the SK Officials topic.


As my proposal was pushed through we have started to draft our statement of the problem and the objectives but, we were clear on what to focus at first so we had to think and to think what are the pressing issues to the SK officials nowadays. It was a bit hard on formulating Ideas but with the help of Sir Makoi, things are getting clear for us. We have discuss to ourselves the issues on the projects that are being proposed by the SK officials and we have developed an idea about their capabilities and capacity in leading the youth by their programs. We are seeking their activeness and there time doing their responsibilities. 
Diving through our Idea, I have started seeking RRLs that would support our study. There have been a lot of literature that I've seen questioning the status of the SK Officials in the society, if theyr are really helpful in shaping youth or they are just another dangling in the government. Knowing a lot of SK issues, I may have feel a little bit of disappointment and dismay with the projects they have been doing. creating a thought of their use in the society, is it really good to be abolished or just address the reasons why they are somewhat failing the duties the mandate wants them to do?

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...
