 INTRODUCTION

The K-12 Curriculum – TVL Agri-Crop strand is offered to

senior high school learners. Agriculture is very important to
the people because it is the main source of our basic necessity
to survive. Food is a necessary for the human body, most
especially the vegetables and other crops that are rich sources
of nutrients and minerals which have a greater impact to the
nutritional condition of the Filipinos.

It has been observed that vegetables and other crop

products mostly come from the commercial vegetable growers in
the country. When those vegetables and other crops are being
sold in the local market, these become expensive. The production
of vegetables in the school and backyards can help augment the
supply of vegetable to the family and even the neighborhood.

This program of the Naisud National High School (SHS)

“Work Immersion” of Grade 12 TVL - Agri-Crop in partnership with
Sericulture Center, enables the learners to appreciate and
develop the skills required in Agri- Crop production.

 MY JOURNAL

It was the first day of our work immersion, February 4, 2019,

Monday; we had our short orientation with Mr. Jesry Maquirang
but before the orientation has started we introduced ourself and
tell the reasons why we choose this field. Our first speaker
orient us about the business processes of company, he also
discussed the importance of patience. He also talked about the
sericulture, it is a culturing worms where it can produce an
expensive silk. According to him “indi kinahangean do aeam,
basta maghugod eang”.

On February 5, 2019, Tuesday, another day has come, we also

practice how to use a hand tractor. Before doing so, our
immersion teacher and partner supervisor give us the instruction
first and demonstrate how to use it correctly. And in the
afternoon we performed healing up in the sunflower garden.

On February 6, 2019, Wednesday, we performed and prepared the

land for planting; conduct field lay-out and constructed a
canal.

On February 7, 2019 Thursday, we performed hardening in the

Sampaguita garden. Mr. Jesry Maquirang demonstrate us the proper
way of hardening.

On February 8, 2019, Friday morning same as yesterday we

performed a hardening in the sampaguita garden. We also
experienced on how to prune a sampaguita plant.
On February 18, 2019, Monday, as requested by Mr. Maquirang we
collected stones in tshe river for the designs in sunflower
garden. On the afternoon we tried to harvest a mulberry fruits.

On February 19, 2019, Tuesday, on that day, again we harvest a

mulberry fruit ,and after harvesting Mr. Maquirang
taught/demonstrate us on how to feed a silkworm properly.

On February 20, 2019, Wednesday morning we practiced on how to

used a sprayer for insecticide. Before doing so, our immersion
teacher and partner supervisor give us the instruction and
demonstrate on how to use it correctly. I honestly enjoy this
activity. We also performed on how to pruned a mulberry plants.

On February 21, 2019, Thursday, in whole day we performed a

under grassing in the sampaguita garden. We really tired, but as
well as enjoyed in the experienced that we had.

On February 22, 2019, It was Friday and the last day of our work
immersion. We performed again the under grassing in the mulberry
garden. And in the afternoon we tried to harvest a cocoon.Having
a work immersion, we are grateful and lucky to have an
experienced on that activity. We learned new skills and
knowledge, from this it can be our weapon for facing a new
challenges in the near future. We are also blessed to have our
mentor who are always there to guide us and our principal to
support for our future.

REFLECTION
 Work immersion program provide us student a “real place”
experience, giving us a set of technical-vocational and
livelihood skills that can help us to make informed a career
choice and improved our employment prospects.

Work immersion give an important role to us, it helped me to

shaped and developed my skills. My training enhanced my
understanding of what is really happening outside the four
corners of our classroom.

During the Work Immersion,I’d really value the time and work
that we do with my classmates. It made me understood that “
Experience is the best Teacher”. It helps us to build our hidden
talents and skills that we have in the field of agriculture. The
challenges that we’ve experienced made us to learn and know the
right thing to do. Unbelievable! Thinking that it is hard to
finished those amidst of difficulties that we had during the
immersion
but we “made it”.

Preparing the documents is one of the challenging part needed in

our immersion. But I’m grateful that became familiar to those
agencies that are responsible for releasing the required
documents, not just for immersion but also for my future use.

Success!
