my beloved Friends

FRIENDSHIP

Many people will walk in and

out of your life.
But only true friends will leave footprints in

your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Friends

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds

discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money,loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from

the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make

them all
yourself.

Friends, you and me...
You brought

another friend...
And then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our circle

of friends...
And like

that circle...
There is no beginning or end...

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

That is why it is called the present.

Show your friends how much you care...

Assign #8: Interview about personnel

Last, Wednesday September 24, 2008 we interviewed Mrs. Florita L. Oligario HRMO3 of City Government of Davao to ask her concept on the nature, scope and role of human resource management. Her concept is similar to that of the management of organization and I agree with her because of her understandable and comprehensive explanation about it.
First she discussed to us the nature of human resource management. Their nature has evolved now and then. She told us that, before they were not so organized, they only have small group of employee, lack of facilities, they were limited to some transaction like hiring and preparation of documents and appointments. Right now their nature is more developed, their functions have expanded, their limited transaction like hiring is improved and their facilities are more convenient to use. She also added that their employee right now has some annual benefits and incentives. She enumerates some of incentives for their employee like travel package here in Davao 300pesos each and salo-salo package 100pesos for exemplary achievement of their employee. These are based on their performance rating every six months. If an employee has a good performance in 2 succeeding semester he/she received 2,000pesos and if she has fair rating, she will dropped from rules. She appeals to people that are saying employees of City Hall was not good, but they take it as a challenged to motivate their employees. Ma’am Obligario believed that Human Resource is the asset of the company and can be a human capital.
About the scope of their human resource management, she cites some of them such as recruitment, training, and payroll. In the recruitment of their permanent employee or plantilla they have some qualification to meet. First, take the qualifying exam and followed by interview with the personnel selection board. After that the credentials is evaluated, then they prepared a comparative report. The last is the approval of the City Mayor. They also have to take Civil Service and meet the minimum standard. For their non- plantilla there’s no need to take some their qualification. She stated that “not whom you know but how you posses your ability on the job”. They also conduct training for skills required and needs of their employee improvement. Their payroll is every 15th and 30th of the month through ATM.
When we asked her about the role of human resource management, she only answered us to “meet the need of the clients” same as our first respondent Sir Bobet Nacilla told us. Then we asked her if she meets her expectation of their company, she answered “More than enough of my expectation. Job is fulfilling though it is stressful and I worked beyond office hours”. The last statement she said and very proud to say it “WE ARE EXCELLENT”. (She laughed aloud). hehe..

At last..Huh!

Last Monday, Sept. 15 nainterview na rin namin si Sir Bobet. He is the head of the System Admin of the City Government of Davao. From that interview we gather some information and tips for our major paper. Even though he is so busy, he still given us time for our interview. To sum up our interview with him, all i can say we all enjoy it because our interviewee was so jolly and approachable. After our interview with him we brought some snack for him, hope he like and enjoy it. hehehe..

Journal#4

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..
