INTRODUCTION
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering of the Nueva
Ecija University of Science and Technology requires their
students to undergo an On-the-Job Training. The term “On–the–
Job Training” refers to a supervised educational practical
work experience through actual participation in productive
activities give to or acquired by an apprentice with an
approved industrial companies, business establishments,
government and non – government agencies, organizations, or
institution. An On–the–Job Training aims to develop the
student’s intellectual and skills competencies involved in
the application of CE as well as to prepare the students to
become more responsive by performing in actual work setting
affecting the Civil Engineering industry.
On-the-Job Training is one method by which students is
given a chance to apply his/her theoretical knowledge and
technical skills that they have learned from the school. It
provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies
of a specific job using the real tools, equipment and
documents. It enhances the ability in the field of engineering
as well as boost self-confidence, discipline, and patience.
Also, it allows the student to develop and mature through a
work experience under the guidance of trained, established
leader in field.
On-the-Job Training is a proven mechanism for drawing
industry into training partnership. It is also an important
1
Cabanatuan City
part of most skill mastery programs, given the importance of
work places skills to employment. Equally important, students
continually feedback to our institutions the current
enterprise practice of technologies that they see in the job
site. OJT also support job placement.
Student trainees on the other hand can bring different
ideas into the organization. Despite being under experience
on the field compared to trainers, trainees may still input
fresh and innovative ideas which they think is best for the
organization and their respective field. Ideas that students
impart might not have enough basis but there is a wisdom in
it which can be very helpful to the company sooner or later.
That is why students undergoing On-the-Job Training should
take their internship seriously and should not be taken for
granted for it is an important tool when they enter the world
of being career professionals.

NEUST HISTORY
The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology
(NEUST) started on June 7, 1929 as Nueva Ecija Trade School
(NETS) in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, offering vocational
opportunities to the youths of the province. The first and
only vocational course being offered then was woodworking.
That course was an addition to the existing secondary
curriculum inherited from the Wright Institute.
To meet the increasing demand for vocational education
in the whole province, the trade school was transferred on
June 7, 1931, to Cabanatuan City. Enrolment increased;
however, the program was interrupted in December 1941 by the
outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific.
Immediately after the war, the trade school was reopened
on September 6, 1945. Rehabilitation program took place. The
trade school continued with its mission of meeting the
3
Cabanatuan City
vocational and manpower needs of students coming from both
Nueva Ecija and the nearby provinces. On June 8, 1948, a
course in dressmaking was opened and female students were
admitted in the school. A few years later, food trades and
cosmetology courses were offered.
On May 8, 1953, the NETS was converted into the Central
Luzon School of Arts and Trades (CLSAT) by the virtue of
Republic Act No. 845. CLSAT was recognized as a center of
manpower/vocational training for both youths and adults not
only in the province but also in the whole Region III.
Series of developments continued until the CLSAT was
converted into the Central Luzon Polytechnic College (CLPC)
by virtue of Republic Act No. 3998 which was signed on June
18, President Diosdado Macapagal.
Thirty-four years later, the CLPC, under the leadership
of the President Gemiliano C. Calling, was converted into a
specialized university, the Nueva Ecija University of Science
and Technlogy by virtue of the Republic Act No. 8612.
The Bill converting CLPC into NEUST was signed by speaker
Jose De Venecia on February 19, 1998. It was forwarded to
President Fidel V. Ramos on February 24, 1998 and lapsed into
law on March 27, 1998.
The University therefore, ensures that the requirements
of business, industry, services and other sectors as well as
the needs of the local, regional and national development for
high skilled middle-level manpower are addressed.

NARRATION OF EXPERIENCE
Students of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering are
required to undergo On-the-Job training for a total of 250
hours. After series of applications, we were accepted to
conduct our training program on Aranaz Construction
Management Consultancy located at Moa Complex, Pasay City. It
is where their current project is located, S Residences
project owned by SM Development Corporation.
We officially started our training at ACMC on April 17,
2017. Since it is our first day, we didn’t know what to
expect, we were all so nervous and excited as well. We want
to make our training to be productive as possible, we want to
gain proper knowledge to cope up with the reality of the field
we’re taking. At the same time, we want to enjoy every single
moment of our training, we want to make it one of the most
unforgettable experience being a student.
S RESIDENCES (Moa Complex, Pasay City)
(April 17-18, 2017)
The first day of our training went really well. We were
overwhelmed by their hospitality and kindness by giving us a
warm welcome. After an hour of acquainting, the program now
began. Since it is just our first day, we were oriented about
everything to know in the construction project. First of which
was about safety and health policy, led by ACMC’s safety
officer Sir Davin Paiton. They talked to us about the
importance of safety in every construction, they told us to
21
Cabanatuan City
wear proper attire or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s)
while in the construction site to minimize exposure to hazards
that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses. After
that, we moved on to familiarizing the construction plan of
the current project, structural and architectural to be
specific. It was led by the construction manager of ACMC,
Arch. Endz Tianco. We were amazed of how great and how
detailed a plan is especially since it is the first time we
have seen a construction plan of a medium and high-rise
buildings, specifying every little detail needed in the
project.
For only a day, we learned a bunch of things. We had a
good idea of how construction runs and operates; from planning
stage, construction, up to the turn-over stage. And with the
good working environment of ACMC, we knew we were in good
hands.
On the second day, we continued our reading of plans,
being more familiarize of every detail in the plan. Later
that day, Engr. Dennis Aranaz – the president of ACMC, Engr.
Racky Layco – senior project manager at SMDC, and Engr. Ricky
Aguirre – project manager at ACMC came and formally welcomed
us to the company. We had a good conversation with them. We
were oriented about the in’s and out’s of construction and
what is like being a civil engineering as well.
We were also notified that we were going to be
distributed by group in three current projects of ACMC, namely
22
Cabanatuan City
S Residences, Green Residences, and University Home. The
projects were currently on different phases of construction,
thus giving us different knowledge and experience to work on.
We were given a week for every project before proceeding to
the next one. This made us all filled with excitement because
we will get to see different projects and meet different
people.
UNIVERSITY HOME (Sampaloc, Manila)
(April 19-25, 2017)
Our group were first assigned on University Home project
located at Piy Margal St., Sampaloc, Manila. The proposed
University Home is a residential tower with 36 residential
floors. It comprises of 696 residential units, 81 parking
slots for vehicles and 5 parking slots for motorcycle. A total
Gross Floor Area of 32,178.38 and Lot Area of 875 sq.m.
We were welcomed by Engr. William Caasi, Engr. Geron
Seneta, and Ms. Joan, ACMC’s staffs in the project. We’re
given some brief information on how the company runs and we’ve
been oriented on the system used by the project and how they
utilize it.
The general contractor on the project, Momentum
Construction Development Corporation (MCDC) are the ones who
we will be working with. We were introduced to their employees
and we kindly approached every one of them, from engineers,
architects, and co-OJT trainees. Of course, we would like to
have a good working relationship with them.
23
Cabanatuan City
The project has just started the construction stage,
they were just currently working on the foundation of the
building. We were astound how foundations are worked on for
high-rise building, we were excited to start the training
program since almost everything we will be experiencing are
new to us.
While we were in U Home, we learned and experienced so
many things. Although we are only OJT Trainee they were
entrusted to see how their system works but had been taught
us how to encode check information or Contractor’s Quality
Control Daily Report. Engr. William introduced to us
different terms involved in the foundation plan, like board
pile, pile caps, hard strata etc. He also let us come with
him to visit or personally see the excavation and the pile
cap there, how they apply it and so many things.
At this project, we learned some significant knowledge
about the differences of structural plan of this project
compared to the S Residences in terms of the materials and
machines used in construction. They taught us basic insights
on how to prepare a cutting list, manpower schedule, daily
activities report, and cost-estimate of the project. We
learned the accurate computations for the volume of
excavation, backfill, and concrete in pile caps and columns.
They gave us lectures on reinforcing bars of columns and pile
caps. They also taught us to estimate reinforcing bars of
columns and pile caps. We learned that different colors or
grades of rebars have their own characteristics and uses. We
24
Cabanatuan City
managed to organize plans and other documents needed in the
construction. They also discussed to us the splicing zone of
a column which is vital in every construction of a building.
During our stay, we have also witnessed the erection of
tower crane. We also learned to set up a surveying instrument
called Total Station. It is the first time we saw that kind
of instrument and we are amazed to have a good look on it
since it is the most widely used surveying instrument.
Some personnel from MCDC also helped us understand some
things that we aren’t familiar by helping us read the plans
and joining us in visiting the construction site. We asked
some things and they patiently answered it clearly. We
appreciated all their efforts and we were very thankful that
they shared their knowledge to us.
We very much gratified our superiors for the support and
understanding especially on the times when we committed
mistakes like in the computations when we are estimating.
Furthermore, we were very grateful that they expose us so
much on what we must know regarding the work which suits our
course. We were very thankful that they treat us like them
and trust us. We appreciate so much the working environment
we had in the company because it help us absorbed what we
need to know. More than any learning thought in school, we
learned to be with others, to work with people.

GREEN RESIDENCES (Taft Avenue, Manila)
(April 26 – May 04, 2017)
After a week on University Home, we were designated to
Green Residences project located in Taft Avenue, Manila. The
proposed Green Residences is a 50-storey Residential
Condominium Tower owned by SM Development Corporation with
commercial spaces on the ground floor, six (6) levels parking
from 2nd to 7th floor. Amenities include Function Rooms, Gym
Game Room at the Roof Deck and Swimming Pool at Podium Floor.
Residential Units, with a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 129,899.30
square meters. The project has 3,590 square meters property.
Unlike the S Residences and University Home, Green
Residences is entirely different since the structural aspect
is done, meaning the building is already standing. So the
main tasks we were assigned are mostly revolving in
architectural works.
On our first day, we were really amazed on how great the
building was. Imagine, 50 floors! Excitement rises for all of
us. This is the first time for most of us to experience
exploring a high-rise building which is definitely stunning
also because of the architectural design of the building.
Engr. Dennis Aranaz accommodated us himself to the office of
ACMC in Green Residences. We were introduced to Engr. Rune,
Engr. Jaynell, Engr. Nelson, Engr. Marlon, Engr. Jovy, Arch.
Mike, and Sir Johansen.
26
Cabanatuan City
The task was basically to turn over units in the building
to the owner, meaning all specifications or punchlists are
checked and inspected. From the detailed design of the unit
up to the functions of every material inside it, it should be
perfect, if not, close to perfection. The contractor are the
ones who were tasked to do the operations in the units, and
representatives from the owner side (QAD) are the ones who
will inspect if it is okay for turn-over, or so called final
acceptance of units. The task now for ACMC inspect the unit
for themselves to see if it is really done before the
representatives from SMDC check it. Since there’s thousands
of units in there, a number of contractors were assigned, and
for every contractor, a staff of ACMC will be observing over
them. That’s where we will be involved, we were now be
distributed in every engineer of ACMC to conduct series of
inspections. It’s a whole lot of experience for us which makes
it more exciting.
At first it was intimidating, since we have to interact
with them as we do our tasks. Come to think of it, they were
professionals and we are just a student trainee. The first
task that given to us is to inspect the different units or
assigned units by the engineer. We punch list the damage or
manifestation and incomplete part of an assigned units, for
example we check if the sealant in the door jamb and sealant
in the cabinet are complete, all doors must be installed
properly and there’s no leak mark at the ceiling of the units
etc. If all of these are complete and there is no
27
Cabanatuan City
manifestation in the different area and part of the unit, it
will be ready to a final viewing or final inspection by the
QAD. After the inspection of QAD, if there’s nothing problem
in the unit, it will be mark as an FA.
As we go along the way, we gained some important
knowledge and experience. We were tasked in unit inspection
for final acceptance, initial inspection and back checking,
monitoring balance of works for the remaining units, and
conducting functionality tests on selected units to check for
defects on plumbing, electrical intercom and other
facilities. They also taught us the manifestations before
endorsing for final acceptance.
At first, we taught this would be an easy task since all
we have to do is inspect, and also we don’t have to give much
effort unlike in the construction sites. But we were wrong,
there is a different pressure involving in these kind of
works. The manpower, the paper works, the materials, the
confrontations, the deadline. These problems occur mostly in
these project and the pressure experienced is much for our
superiors as well as for us. But together with our
upperclassmen, we strived to give our best to complete our
duties. They still smile and maintain their pleasant attitude
despite their bosses shout at them fiercely; and witnessing
that depicts a lot of things for us.
We have just trained ourselves to act like a professional
like them so that it will be easy for us to work with them.

Cabanatuan City
As time goes by, I found ourselves working harmoniously with
them, the employees or labourer of each constructor was so
nice and good to us.
In our last stays in Green Residences, we were now able
to do punchlists on our own. They let us do the works and we
were very thankful that they trusted us to inspect on every
units. Accomplishing a unit is very fulfilling for us.
What we learned in our workplace is being hardworking
even though it’s tiring.
Despite the tasks being tiresome and mind-swirling, we were
really happy to be involved in these one of a kind experience.
All the knowledge, skills and camaraderie’s we acquired
during our training program at this project will be most
cherished. Some of it will be adopted and applied to ourselves
and helped develop our skills and enhance our knowledge. We
were thankful that we have a training in this project of ACMC.
We learned to be more patient in every task that given to us,
to be nice and humble in every person we interact and most of
all to love our work or our training.
S RESIDENCES (Moa Complex, Pasay City)
(May 05–30, 2017)
Another week passed, we were now back to S Residences to
undergo and finish the training program. The proposed S (SEA
2) Residences is a three (3) tower residential development
29
Cabanatuan City
owned by SM Development Corporation with 12 residential
floors sitting on a two (2) level podium with 1 basement –
parking, leasable areas, function rooms and amenity. Basement
and Ground floor level has a total of 462 regular parking
slots and 8 PWD parking slots respectively. It comprises of
25,395 residential units (Tower 1-913 units; Tower 2-569
units; and Tower 3-913 units) with a gross floor area (GFA)
of 123, 699.79 sq.m. and a lot area of 12,524.00 sq.m.
Additional permanent road adjacent to the property is
required for the access of the development.
This project is the most productive for us since it’s in
the middle of the whole construction stage, unlike at
University Home where it is in its early stages of
construction. Here at S Residences, we were able to experience
a lot of things in a lot of field. Structural, Mechanical,
Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Safety, etc. It’s like
they termed it as a battlefield of construction, so we did
our best to grab all the knowledge we can get during our stay.
At S Residences, we were designated in different aspects
of the construction. These are the structural, electrical and
mechanical phase of the project. We were tasked at site
inspection, inspection of reinforcing bars in columns, slabs
and beams specifically. We learned the different ways on how
to check and inspect correctly and accurately which is very
important in every construction to meet the desired
requirements and specifications of the project. We were
familiarized on basic things involved in construction, duties
30
Cabanatuan City
and responsibilities on the site, and the safety management
for every one inside the construction. They taught us some
knowledge on basic electrical layout on buildings and how
electricity is distributed on the entire building. We learned
the importance of mechanical aspect of the construction
involving the piping system, cistern/domestic water tanks in
high rise buildings, amenity plan, and significance of flow
of water throughout the entire building together with their
purposes and functions. We also witnessed and observed
concrete pouring and concrete testing. Concrete testing in
which we will have to go to a testing center and there it
will be tested using specific machine to see if the concrete
reached its desired strength and capacity. They also taught
us some basic knowledge on how to estimate formworks and
rebars of the project. They gave us some tasks regarding the
structural and architectural plan of the project using
AutoCad. They also gave us some insights in cost and quantity
monitoring, OSM (Owner Supplied Materials), billing
monitoring, change orders and deductive-additive cost.
Engr. Ronald was our guide in electrical works, they
took us to the site to explain everything there is in
electrical field. We also paid a visit on the contractor in
electrical works, and there he explained different materials
as well as their respective functions.
That goes the same for Engr. Dandy who was responsible
for plumbing works in the project. They toured us in the
construction site to see how pipes are placed in the building
31
Cabanatuan City
especially at the basement where we saw the actual arrangement
of pipes. Different pipes also have different functions,
which can be determined by its sizes, colors, and materials.
We also visited contractor in plumbing works, there they
taught us on how water flows through the building, from
waterlines up to waste lines.
Sir Davin also gave us the opportunity of doing rounds
inspecting the safety of the workers as well as the project.
He never failed to explain to us and the laborers how
important safety is in the project. He always said that in
every project, Safety First!
Engr. Jinky gave us little insights about cutting list
and how to estimate rebars, concrete, and formworks in any
project. She also gave us works in Auto-CAD and programs which
was important in the construction.
When it comes to structural works, Engr. Windell is the
one who handled us. He is the one who is always with us since
he is the one in the field of civil engineering. We had all
the chance to ask questions on the site since it is new to us
and Engr. Windell answered and explained it carefully. He
taught us some of the problems we might encounter someday
like cement spills, misaligned rebars, insufficient rebars,
and many more. We also got to inspect structural works on the
site, we were taught of how to properly inspect and to see
what was wrong and how it may affect the structure.
32
Cabanatuan City
Engr. Ricky, the project manager held a lecture about
formworks. He explained what the purpose of formwork is, and
what the parts of it are as well. From traditional formworks
made of lumber up to the modern formworks which uses steel
and other strong materials, he explained how it is done. Also,
he taught us in estimating the formworks needed in a
structure.
Arch. Endz Tianco, the construction manager of ACMC, is
the one who really watches over the whole course of our
training program. He is the one who taught about the stages
of a construction, from planning up to the turn-over. Also,
he imparted knowledge to us about the scheduling of the
construction phase and how it is important time-wise and cost-
wise. We reviewed every single learnings as we reached the
conclusion of our training program and it was indeed a great
and productive experience.
Engr. Dennis Aranaz, the president of ACMC, though he
didn’t impart much knowledge on the objective side, he filled
it with the subjective parts. He provided us with the
learnings on being a successful and great civil engineer. He
told us the right attitude we have to acquire to become
successful and told us how important our employees are. He
said we should not easily give up on our dream on becoming
the person we wanted to be.
33
Cabanatuan City
Overall, we have a fruitful experience in S Residence
where we learned not only being a successful civil engineer
but also being a successful person.
The life on the job is different from what we’ve learned
from inside our classrooms. During the first day of our
training, we are really nervous because we are not so sure if
we can accomplish things correctly or if the tasks they will
give to us is beyond our knowledge that we can cope with it
as easily as it is. Then, there came the engineers who
supports us and teaches us what to do within the construction
site. It was luckily then that our engineers are kind and
sociable so that were not shy to ask for some significant
insights and knowledge regarding on our field that we have
and we need to know. We sometimes commit mistakes, but it
takes our experience to gain more progress. We managed on how
to make things right and correctly. We also learned the values
that we should always bring while we are in a construction
firm, like proper approach to workers and staffs. Working
with them is such a great opportunity and experience because
we learned the true meaning of oneness and hardwork in every
construction and in our daily life.
250 hours is not enough to learn all the ins and outs in
the field of civil engineering but we say our 250 hours is
precious to us as we take the big step from being a student
to a career professionals.
34
Cabanatuan City
The experience is not as easy as it is but it was truly
remarkable and exceptional. We were not just trained to be
mere engineers but we were trained of all the aspects of our
capabilities without limitations. We won’t certainly fail to
remember all the beneficial lessons, the genuine advises and
the outstanding experience we had here.
And yes, we had a wonderful and productive experience.
We enjoyed and we cherished every moment of it. We are forever
grateful.

Cabanatuan City
STATEMENT OF LEARNINGS
Aside from the technical skills we have learned from
field of Civil Engineering, we learned a lot from our On-the-
Job training experience. Some of are:
Students should take On-the-Job training seriously and
not taking it for granted for it is the stepping stone of a
student as he/she become career professional in his/her
chosen field.
On-the-Job training is not easy. Humbly accept mistakes
and become one who has eagerness to learn and develop his own
skills.
Learn to appreciate other people especially in the field
of work, whether it’s the president of the company or it’s
the labourer. We can learn from them in their own ways.
On-the-Job training will be our training ground. If we
still have no idea on the field we have chosen, On-the-Job
training will give us career realities.
On-the-Job training is a glimpse of our career world, we
will learn how different it is from school.
Grab all the knowledge we could grab during our On-the-
Job training, a simple idea holds more than what it is.
On-the-Job training broaden the student’s practical
experiences and their outlook to their line of work to have
proper prospective and attitudes.
36
Cabanatuan City
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
Problem was encountered even before the training program
started. Most students have had a hard time in finding company
or organization where they could take their OJT especially
companies which have a great capabilities of giving students
the necessary knowledge and skills in their chosen field.
Most of the terms needed in the construction are new to
us, what the engineers were telling was new to our vocabulary.
Example of terms involved are the terms in the subject
Reinforced Concrete Design and Construction Method and
Project Management which will be undertaken by students on
their fifth year.
First problem we met during the training program is how
to get along with the staffs. The confidence of doing the
assigned tasks is not sufficient enough. We are hesitated to
ask question if something is bothering us especially if higher
position/person were commanding.
Another problem met is our un-familiarization of the
instrument and methods used in actual setting for it is the
first time we had seen it.
We have encountered some difficulties during our
training, like knowing on how to manage our works easily and
find another way to make our duty easy as well.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To students/trainees,
 Willingness to learn is very important. Don’t hesitate
to ask questions. One engineer said to us, “It’s okay to
ask stupid questions than to make stupid mistakes”.
 Trainees must also be ready to accept the responsibility
and voluntary for every task. Do every task with
enthusiasm and passion.
 Cooperate with co-trainees, workers and managers and
show them respect at the same time to provide ease for
your workplace. Be polite in making conversations with
everyone.
 He/she must be aggressive to learn what he wants to learn
because time is too short. Pay attention to the details
of the work.
 Trainees should always observe the proper attitude while
working, trainees should work with promptness and be
confident with their job.
To the company,
 The training program the company provided must be
undertaken according to span of time of the training.
 There should be an activity given to the trainees
whenever the employees are all busy to keep the trainees
from wasting precious time of the training.
38
Cabanatuan City
To the school,
 Provide an orientation about the On-the-Job training
before the students start so that they will know all the
requirements and things to do during their OJT.
 Some subjects like Reinforced Design and Construction
Method and Project Management should be introduced
before undergoing On-the-Job training.
 The school should provide more opportunities for the
students to take their training on organizations or
companies that can provide enough knowledge and skill
for the trainees.

NUEVA ECIJA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

INDUSTRIAL LINKAGES AND COORDINATION OFFICE

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering of the Nueva

Ecija University of Science and Technology requires their

students to undergo an On-the-Job Training. The term “On–the–

Job Training” refers to a supervised educational practical

work experience through actual participation in productive

activities give to or acquired by an apprentice with an

approved industrial companies, business establishments,

government and non – government agencies, organizations, or

institution. An On–the–Job Training aims to develop the

student’s intellectual and skills competencies involved in

the application of CE as well as to prepare the students to

become more responsive by performing in actual work setting

affecting the Civil Engineering industry.

On-the-Job Training is one method by which students is

given a chance to apply his/her theoretical knowledge and

technical skills that they have learned from the school. It

provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies

of a specific job using the real tools, equipment and

documents. It enhances the ability in the field of engineering

as well as boost self-confidence, discipline, and patience.

Also, it allows the student to develop and mature through a

work experience under the guidance of trained, established

On-the-Job Training is a proven mechanism for drawing

industry into training partnership. It is also an important

INDUSTRIAL LINKAGES AND COORDINATION OFFICE

part of most skill mastery programs, given the importance of

work places skills to employment. Equally important, students

continually feedback to our institutions the current

enterprise practice of technologies that they see in the job

site. OJT also support job placement.

Student trainees on the other hand can bring different

ideas into the organization. Despite being under experience

on the field compared to trainers, trainees may still input

organization and their respective field. Ideas that students

impart might not have enough basis but there is a wisdom in

it which can be very helpful to the company sooner or later.

That is why students undergoing On-the-Job Training should

take their internship seriously and should not be taken for

granted for it is an important tool when they enter the world

of being career professionals.

NUEVA ECIJA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology

(NEUST) started on June 7, 1929 as Nueva Ecija Trade School

(NETS) in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, offering vocational

opportunities to the youths of the province. The first and

only vocational course being offered then was woodworking.

That course was an addition to the existing secondary

curriculum inherited from the Wright Institute.

To meet the increasing demand for vocational education

in the whole province, the trade school was transferred on

June 7, 1931, to Cabanatuan City. Enrolment increased;

however, the program was interrupted in December 1941 by the

outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific.

Immediately after the war, the trade school was reopened

on September 6, 1945. Rehabilitation program took place. The

trade school continued with its mission of meeting the
