NARRATIVE REPORT

Special Program for Employment of Students is Department of Labor and Employment

or DOLE’s youth employment-bridging program which aims to provide temporary
employment to financially unfortunate but deserving students. To be granted with such
kind of privilege is a great moment since I belong to a family with unstable state in terms
of providing daily needs. I consider this opportunity as a stepping stone for my future
endeavor. Certainly, this program will help us to improve as a person because it enables us,
trainees to develop or practice professionalism. We have to learn that in order for us to
work effectively and efficiently, we must familiarized ourselves and put love on our work.
Because being productive is an outcome of attaining satisfaction on what you are doing or
simply making the most of it. For us grantees, we are required to duly take all the
responsibilities for our every decisions and actions throughout the allotted period of time.
On the very first day, an orientation was conducted by the Public Employment Service
Office. In the afternoon of the same day, we are appointed to different offices around the city.
I was assigned in Malitam National High School located at Malitam Batangas City where I
actually resides. First week is all about familiarization and adapting to new working
environment. We are obliged to work within 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM every weekdays. One of
the main task given to us was checking and sorting of returned tablets from students which
requires a lot of patience. It took us a while due to large number of sections and several issues
on the unit. In addition, we also help teachers by doing simple task like organizing important
documents specifically for School-Based Management corner.

The following week focuses on enrollment period for the next school year. In
preparation, we first clean all the designated rooms for both card giving and enrollment
proper. We also printed out enrollment forms together with the schedules so that everyone
will get informed. Throughout the enrollment phase we are assigned in the help desk to
entertain queries. Included to our duty was checking body temperature of those who enter in
the school premises. As it is required in the health and safety protocols ensuring the
protection of everyone. It is also our responsibility to assist and accommodate those who
have clarifications and complaints. Since almost every teacher was busy, we are once
designated in reading area which is mainly a test for qualified incoming grade seven students.
Then the third week highlights the preparation for approaching brigada eskwela with
connection to resume of classes. Cleaning every classroom from every building is the
important thing to do first. Making sure if the comfort rooms are clean and ready to use
anytime. We remove old signage, placards, and other displayed information subsequently
replacing them with new ones. Included in our task is to repair damaged school equipment
such as tables, chairs, shelves, etc. After cleaning, we are going to dispose unnecessary
materials like scraps of metal and bunch of paper to a nearby junk shop. The final week will
probably allotted to administering brigada eskwela and composition of plans for the next
academic year. For almost a month of fulfilling SPES experience, this program serve as a big
help in building, developing and improving my personality. Moreover, it opens a clear view
of my upcoming ventures in life in a wider community with much greater accountability.
In summary of my SPES journey, one of my takeaways is that intelligence is one of the

key to success. No one can take it away from us. But having knowledge isn’t enough to
succeed. We need to use it on the right way. We have to persist to anything undertaken to
attain our goals. Throughout my training, I learned a lot such as improving my whole
personality in terms of socialization and vision towards life. I’d realized that problems in life
are like problems in work, we must search for the best solution. We couldn’t solve it without
a help from co-workers, co-trainees and mentors. It’s like the saying “ No man is an island”
in other words, we couldn’t live only with ourselves we need the help of other people to
overcome the problems in life. During the days of the program, I’d familiarized what it feels
to be in an actual workplace. At first, it seems a bit easy not until you undergo challenges and
suffer through times when pressure is on. As a result, I had committed some mistakes which I
turned into new learning. Also, without even noticing, everyone in my surrounding plays a
role in my character development. Aside from guiding us in the work proper, acquiring a lot
of wisdom from them is what I believe the best part. Overall, it taught me that opportunities
knocks only once thus, all you need to do is take the risk and just do your best. So in the near
future, I’ll apply those things that I’ve learned during my SPES experience. Therefore,
considering this training, I can say that I’m transformed into a real better person.
