A while ago, my group mates and i went to our adopted company to ask and request our schedule for interviewing them, and finally they were grant our request and they given us an schedule . Supposedly, tommorow is our schedule of interviewing with them but Sir Bobet moved the schedule on monday because his scheduled was already unavailable .

We already started to gather some information about them like background of their company and we are also started making the introduction.

Third Journal

After a long vacation, finally, these past few days we were already started our major paper. It was given by our teacher a head of time but we didn’t able to start it immediately because we had no idea on how we would start it. All I can say that it is one of the most complicated projects that I ever encountered. It’s our first time to make a Gantt chart and it’s really hustle. We took long time on making the Gantt chart because we were stuck on deciding how we were going to accomplish this major paper on limited time. Last day we had able to past it and we hope that there will be no problem about it.

The deadline of our major paper is fast approaching and we hope that we able to past it on time. Next week we had our first schedule of visiting our adopted company to ask their permission again to conduct a study about their company. We had listed some possible questions that we would tackle during the interview. Then the following days to come will be the most tiring time because the paper works and exams will come simultaneously. This is it, this is really it. So help me God. To my group mates "AJA!" (Si God na bahala.) Go! Go! We will make it.

My Second Journal

Experience is the Best Teacher

My unforgettable and adventurous experience in this subject begins when we start searching our adopted company. To look for an adopted company was not easy. You must have a high patience and determination to have it. I can’t imagine that we almost stroll the whole downtown area to seek a certain company for our report.

During that time, we’re a pachyderm (makapal ang mukha) for the sake of having a company. We have visited such establishments like; Panasonic, Emcor, Gaisano Mall, Victoria Plaza, Gaisano South Mall, and etc. The first thing that we asked to the company that we visited was if they allowed students to conduct a study and interview about their company. We provide a letter to our suspected company; those companies are Emcor, Six Eleven Global Teleservices and the City Government of Davao. Before we’ve finally found our adopted company we were rejected many times but those rejections give us more determination.

Every time we were disregarded, we felt that we were similar to those applicants that had been rejected to the job they were applying. Even though we’re very tired, spend a lot of money for our fare and our toes start to have callus, we still enjoyed because of some funny moments. One of those was when everyone thought that one of my peers was blind because we were guiding her while walking and people were amazed of what they’ve seen, that a blind person was keep on texting. (Hehehe, we were so stupid that time). There were funny moments that we experienced that until now I really laugh every time I remember those time.

After long search we finally found our first adopted company it was the Six Eleven Global Teleservices. They allowed us to conduct an interview about their company. They we’re so kind and hospitable to us. (Nosebleed nga lang kami doon sobra, speaking dollar sila tanan,hehehe..) Every corner there is a sign saying "Speaking English Zone". They entertained us very well and they answered some of our questions. In fact they invited us to take the free English training to enhance more our English grammar and fluency but we didn’t able to attend the training because of the hectic schedule that we had. The information that we had with them was not enough so we decided to conduct another interview to other company.

Our second adopted company was City Government of Davao. The HR Director of City Gov’t was Mrs. Laperacion Daplin, she is so nice to us. She received our letter right away. Then the following week we conduct an interview with one of their IT specialist it was Sir. Bobet Nacilla. He discussed everything about the flow of the HRIS in their company. He also shared to us his own knowledge about it and gave us some tips. After we interviewed him we had pictorials for our presentation, then we approach Ma’am Daplin and also take some picture with her. When we had already those information that we need we immediately made our reports and presented it during our schedule time.

Those things that happened from the beginning until the time we already presented our report were so memorable to me. Before we end our class I’m one of those who share the experiences and learning’s that I have learned in HRM. I have learned many things from those experiences and I’m so happy and thankful for it.

My Journal

The HRM subject is really unusual to my other subject that I had take up ever. Why I said so? It’s because in this subject you already introduced to the real world. It doesn’t only focus on books and school affair. In fact, in this subject we often met our teacher personally we’d just met and take our assignment on the forum. We made also our own blog to post our assignment and journal like what had you read right now.

In this subject there are some advantages and disadvantages. Well, the advantage is we usually have no class. We had a free time generally but there are assignments that we should accomplish. This is my only subject that we don’t have quizzes and exams. Nice to hear right? But in the end it’s the most tiring subject because in the end of the semester we must accomplish our major paper. Our grades will depend on the major paper that we had pass on our teacher. In other words, we must do it well and give effort and time. God bless us all. I hope sir you will appreciate our efforts. Thanks in advance sir. Hehe..

Reaction about the SONA of PGMA

State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during the 2nd Regular Session of the 14th Congress of the Republic of the Philippines

Three areas from the SONA of our President related to Human Resource Management:

” Noong SONA ng 2001, naglunsad tayo sa NCR ng patrabaho para sa 20,000 na out of school youth, na tinawag OYSTER. Ngayon, mahigit 20,000 ang ineempleyo ng OYSTER sa buong bansa. In disaster-stricken areas, we have a cash-for-work program”.

"Mula sa buwang ito, wala nang income tax ang sumusweldo ng P200,000 o mas mababa sa isang taon – P12 billion na bawas-buwis para sa maralita at middle class."


"Bukod sa libreng edukasyon sa elementarya at high school, nadoble ang pondo para sa mga college scholarships, while private high school scholarship funds from the government have quadrupled.
I have started reforming and clustering the programs of the DepEd, CHED and TESDA."

These areas related to Human Resource Management mentioned by our President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo during her SONA would truly help us if she accomplished all of this. On the first area that stated above it is nice to hear that many of the out of school youth have given a chance to have a work. While the next area I hope that it would really happen because it is gigantic assist to those that belong to the middle class and maralita. The last area was all about the education, I expect that PGMA will continue to what she was started, and I hope she will give more attention, benefits and funds to the DepEd and so forth.

Assign #6: Human Being

"Human beings are the most important, potent and critical, resource of any organization, and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its resources"

I agree on the statement above that human being is the most important potent and critical resource of any organization because human is the greatest creation of God. He gives us knowledge to create any kind of things that we want. Above all of the creations human beings are chosen by our Almighty to take care of the resources and to manage it.

Relating to the company, we human is the most important resources because we can handle, build up, improve and yet can destroy the company. Human can make the organization or company became successful. Without human there will be no company that will exist nor no company will stand out without. The success of a certain company will depend on the workers around it.

However, we human are the least understood and the worst managed of its resource. They are several companies that their employees are taken for granted nor they don’t give value with their employees. Many cases that employees are being abuse and degrade their rights us individual. There are also other companies that are more interested and concerned with their machineries rather than their employees.

Human being plays as the most important resources among others resources. It should be the first and main priority of any organization. I hope that all the leaders of any organization or company will recognized the importance of their employees before it’s too late.
