SECTION I
Introduction
A. Rationale
Planning is an important process that integrates various discipline

and studies for the development and improvement of life. The process of
planning is critical as every input and output must be logical, consistent,
and unbiased. It is the first step in solving the issues and concerns of our
society and environment, which requires a holistic and multidisciplinary
approach of all contributing elements. Furthermore, it requires conscious
effort involving grass-root understanding of the basis and consequences
of planning.
Supervised Field Experience or Human Ecology 198 is a culminating

integrative course of the College of Human Ecology that immerses
graduating students in various communities to put planning into practice.
The course evaluates the capability and preparedness of the Human
Settlements Planning students to the reality of the profession. The field
experience acts as an medium for the students to demonstrate all the
lessons they have learned from the academic institution. The experience
will also hone the students’ human ecological skills and professionalism
within and outside the institution.
Human Ecology 198 employs the concepts, principles, tools, and

techniques of settlement planning into the development of the
development of the perspectives, knowledge and attitudes based from
the science and discipline of Human Ecology.

B. Course Objectives
Human Ecology 198: Supervised Field Experience in general aims to

make graduating students apply in an integrative manner the trans-
disciplinary knowledge, attitude, and skills gained from the basic
academic training in planning and development of ecologically stable
and self-reliant communities. Specifically, it aims to:
1. Develop in the students a sensitivity that is attuned to the

aspirations of the people, thereby gaining insights into
developmental problems, needs, capabilities and potentials of
human communities;
2. Provide the process by which potential participants in planning can

learn to utilize and provide appropriate concepts to enhance the
involvement of those in positions;
3. Experience and understand the various action roles and technical

functions within the planning framework which illustrate the
conditions, activities and behaviour present within a real
environment; and
4. Test and evaluate ideas and evolve development schemes for

planned change.

SECTION II
Practicum Field Scenario
A. Background of the Study
The Mountain Province known presently belongs to the Cordillera

Administrative Region (CAR) in the Luzon Island of the Philippines. In the
past, majority of Cordillera provinces were called “Mountain Province” in
all by the Philippine Commission in 1908 (Worcester, 1908) in reference to
the old Mountain Province. It was only in 1966, by Mandate of House Bill
No. 1526, when the new separated Mountain Province was distinguished
(Philippine Information Agency, 2017; Lancion, Conrado, & de Guzman,
1995).
Major ethnicities of the province include the following: Kankanáëy,

Balangáw/Baliwon, Bontoc, Ilokano, Applai, Binontok, and Kalinga along
with other ethnicities either local, foreign, or unreported. The province is
also famous for its “Hanging Coffins” and caves that contain mummified
bodies. Among other things, culture and ways of living is also affected by
the geography.
Being in the northern middle part of Luzon, Mountain Province is

completely surrounded by land, which suggests that there is no
immediate access to coastal resources. Meaning, the locals need to rely
on available resources, most likely ones that can be produced on a
mountainous setting. However, with the course of climate change,
resources and people are more likely to be threatened. Its effects must be
studied and monitored. National efforts have been exerted to integrated
Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into
local institutions and measures were expressed through mainstreaming,
despite the lack of a national land use policy (the proposed National
Land Use Act, RA 3091).
The two main policies that legitimize the efforts are the Republic
Act No. 9729 (Climate Change Act of 2009) and Republic Act No. 101201

(Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction Management Act of 2010). The former is

meant to address the effects of climate change and the latter as a
mechanism to devolve the responsibility of DRR and CCA.
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) has published
guide volumes in the process of CLUP preparation. In cooperation with
the Climate Change Commission (CCC), the Climate and Disaster Risk
Assessment (CDRA) methodology was developed and a supplemental
guidebook was also prepared for its formulation and integration in the
CLUP (Uy, Baylos& Shaw, 2017). CDRA provides a more rational means of
intervention and strategies to address vulnerable areas and sectors of the
locality.
In that respect, the local government unit of Bauko, Mountain

Province and the Department of Community and Environmental Resource
Planning (DCERP) have partnered in crafting a Climate and Disaster Risk
Assessment in the municipality.
B. Rationale
The Philippines is amongst the most disaster risk-prone nations in the

world, ranking 3rd in the 2016 World Risk Report by the United Nations. The
recurring events of typhoons, earthquakes and various disaster-causing
natural hazards in the country are greatly attributed to its geographical
location and the various forms of development in its different regions.
According to the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (2009), disaster risk
develops as a function of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Various
natural phenomena such as typhoons and earthquakes are those that
are considered as hazards. These hazards are not disasters until any
element of population or properties, or what is referred to as exposure, are
affected. Meanwhile, vulnerability are the conditions in the community
that increases its susceptibility to the impact of a certain hazard.

Furthermore, risk is the projected value of losses (casualties, infrastructure,

injuries, etc) as caused by the natural hazard.
To address the increasing concern and the possible threats brought

about by climate change and natural hazards, the Housing and Land Use
Regulatory Board (HLURB) integrated the Climate and Disaster Risk
Assessment (CDRA) in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP),
supporting local government units. The conduct and completion of the
CDRA will serve as a basis of planning information for the community to be
able to formulate appropriate adaptive strategies needed in order to
reduce existing levels of risk and vulnerability with the onset of climate
change and natural hazards.
C. Objectives of the Study
The study aims to formulate a Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment

for the Municipality of Bauko, Mountain Province. Specifically, it aims to:
1. Identify the exposed hazards and hazard prone areas in the

municipality;
2. Analyze impacts (direct and indirect) of hazards and climate

change in the municipality;
3. Generate an exposure map of each of the five exposure units;
4. Assess the disaster risk by evaluating the likelihood of occurrence

and severity of consequence;
5. Evaluate the adaptive capacities of the municipality;
6. Formulate the Disaster Risk Assessment (DRA) issues matrix; and
7. Recommend appropriate measures for disaster risk reduction and

climate change adaptation (DRR-CCA).

D. Scope and Limitations of the Study
The Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment was conducted in the

Municipality of Bauko, Mountain Province. The duration of the study was
only limited to eight weeks. There are four (4) members of the team who
conducted the CDRA with the assistance of the MDRRMO and MPDO. The
data were also collected mainly from the existing Comprehensive Land
Use Plan and Local Climate Change Action Plan of the municipality. Map
data were collected from MGB, PhilGIS, and other identified areas were
from the MPDO as well as through the conduct of participatory mapping
and focus group discussions. Climate change projections are from
PAGASA.
MDRRMO was formally established on 2015, because of this, some

data which were collected, especially the history of previous disasters in
Bauko, were only since the year 2015. However, other plans of the
municipality from the MPDO were from the year 2013. Because pertinent
data and geographic information on fisheries and livestock production
were not available, the assessment on natural resource-based production
areas focused only on agricultural and forest areas. However, there could
be some inconsistencies regarding the identified dominant crops per
barangay because Bauko employs seasonal intercropping and crop
rotation. Also, forest areas do not have monetary valuation for the reason
that products are no longer used for commercial purposes but only for
personal consumption of the locals.Also note that for the lifeline utilities, no
data were given for water systems and electrical lines, hence, the focus of
the lifeline utilities portion only covers roads, bridges, and culverts.
Meanwhile, areas of some critical point facilities were estimated through
google earth and focus group discussions.
For the hazards, the study focuses on three main hazards in the
municipality which are flood, landslide, and active landslide. Active
landslide is the combined hazard category for creeping and sinking which

was consulted to MGB. Some identified parts of the municipality which are
said to be susceptible to creeping or sinking are still up for further
validation.
E. Operational Framework
There are five steps in the process of conducting Climate and

Disaster Risk Assessment based on the supplementary guidelines provided
by the HLURB: (1) Collection of hazard and climate change information,
(2) Scoping of potential impacts, (3) Development of exposure database,
(4) Disaster Risk Assessment, and (5) Identification of the Decision Areas
and the Corresponding Policy Intervention.
In Step 3, the gathering of baseline maps and attribute data shows

how the exposed elements would adapt to the potential hazards
observed in Steps 1 and 2. The next step is Climate Change Vulnerability
Assessment (CCVA) which is divided into sub-areas; exposure mapping,
sensitivity/vulnerability analysis and adaptive capacity analysis. Step 5,
Disaster Risk Assessment involves risk estimation by determining the severity
of consequences and assigning the likelihood of occurrence. The last step
is to identify the decision areas and policy intervention that involves the
preparation risk management options and climate change adaptation
and mitigation options.

F. Data Collection, Validation, and Analysis
The Municipality of Bauko, Mountain Province partnered with the

(DCERP) for the formulation of the municipality’s CDRA.
Before the actual study was started, a courtesy call with Sir
Cheamson Garrett Boongaling (Practicum Adviser) was initiated in the
local government unit of the municipality. The practicum team
introduced themselves to the immediate officials and the municipal
mayor. The Technical Project Proposal was also presented to the heads of
the offices, the Technical Working Group.
Primary and secondary data were used in the conduct of the

CDRA. Secondary sources mostly came from the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan (2013-2023), Community-based Monitoring System (2013),
Comprehensive Development Plan (2016-2021), the Municipal Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan (2017-2019), Local Climate Change
Action Plan (2017-2032), and the Forest Land Use Plan (2017) prepared by
the last practicum team in Bauko. Other than plans, the team also
gathered baseline maps and supporting documents from different offices
that will help in filling information needed for the indicators of exposure
units.
For the preparation of exposure and risk maps, Geographic

Information System (GIS) software were used to make the visualization of
geographic information easier, especially in identifying the exposed areas
and the scope of impact of disasters.
Ground truthing and field validation were methods employed to

check the correctness of the data we have gathered. These were done
along with the Key Informant Interviews (KII). KIIs were conducted, on the
other hand, as part of our primary data gathering methods. Staff from
MDRRMO, with assistance from MPDO as well, helped the team in carrying

out the interviews and facilitated our entry into the barangays. They also
helped the team in translating for our communication needs in Filipino,
Kankanáëy, and Ilocano. The following informants were interviewed by
the team:
- Barangay Captain;
- Barangay Kagawad;
- Barangay Tanod;
- Barangay Health Worker;
- Barangay Nutrition Scholar;
- Old residents;
- Upland/Lowland Farmers; and
- Other residents who are greatly knowledgeable of the

barangay
Once the data gathering from KIIs were completed, the available
information were transferred to exposure tables and were up for
validation in the next primary data gathering activity.
Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted next. FGDs had a

program with three main parts: data validation, map consultation, and
scoring. Data validation was for confirming whether the primary and
secondary data that we have gathered were correct through the
participants from different barangays. Map consultation was for pointing
out the location of the remaining exposure units that needed to be
mapped but were not located during the KII because of time constraints.
And, scoring was conducted to prepare the vulnerability and risk tables
which will determine the decision areas of Bauko. It was originally planned
to have five (5) FGDs with different clusters of barangays invited at
different dates. However, due to a number of factors (such as bad

weather and availability of stakeholders), the FGDs were extended to

seven sessions. The FGDs started November 3, 2017 and ended November
15, 2017; all seven sessions did not happen in consecutive days.
The results of the study were presented to the municipality with the
stakeholders and officials present, on November 20, 2017. Inputs,
comments, and suggestions from the stakeholder and technical working
group were taken into consideration and used to make necessary
modifications to the final CDRA output.
The Technical Report was presented to the faculty of DCERP on

December 6, 2017. A scientific poster was also prepared by the practicum
team. The final Technical Report and project output of the Climate and
Disaster Risk Assessment shall be turned over by DCERP to the Municipality
of Bauko for their official copy.

SECTION III
Accomplished and Unaccomplished Targets
A. Accomplished Targets Based on Objectives
The practicum team, with the guidance of the DCERP faculty, and
the help of the Municipality of Bauko especially the MDRRMC and MPDC,
made sure that all the objectives of the study were accomplished.
Based on the hazard maps provided by MPDO with the assistance

of MGB, areas exposed to hazards were able to be identified. Maps were
done for each exposure unit in order to identify specific areas, facilities, or
utilities, which are exposed to hazards.
Climate Impact Chain Analysis was also done in order to know the
different impacts of climate change, may it be direct or indirect, to the
municipality.
With the help of GIS softwares like QGIS and ArcGIS, the team had
to overlay the hazard maps to the map of the municipality to identify its
respective susceptibilities. Through the conduct of key informant
interviews and focus group discussions, sessions of scoring were made
specifically to assess the likelihood of occurrence and severity of
consequence of the hazard where a certain area is exposed and
susceptible to. Also through this process, the areas which are vulnerable
and at risk to the existing hazards in the municipality were also
determined. Adaptive capacities of each barangay were also assessed
per exposure unit.
Disaster Issues Matrix was also made per exposure unit using the
data which were gathered, assessed, and analyzed. With this, decision
areas per exposure unit were identified as well as some policy
interventions.

Recommendations by the practicum team for climate change

adaptation and disaster risk reduction were also written as a guide for the
local government unit.
B. Roles of Members
The practicum team is composed of seven members that have

equally contributed to the Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment of the
Municipality of Bauko, Mountain Province
1. Courtesy Call and Presentation of the Technical Project

Proposal to the Local Government Unit of Bauko
All members of the team participated in the

presentation of the TPP to the Municipality of Bauko on
September 27, 2017, at the Abatan Liga Hall. It was
attended by members from the MPDO, MDRRMO, and
various departments from the local government. The team
also presented the TPP to the Sangguniang Bayan body on
October 2, 2017, at the Sangguniang Bayan Assembly Hall.
2. Data Gathering
The task to gather primary and secondary data was

divided among the team members based on the exposure
units. The team members gathered these data from different
municipal offices that were responsible to them, or the ones
who had available copies of the information required.
3. Key Informant Interview for each Barangay
Each member of the team was assigned a particular

exposure element to focus on, particularly, Marla Clarisol
Agas for population and urban use; Junella Mae Royo for
critical point facilities; Elvin Christian Pua for natural

resources-based production areas and Bing-bing Reyes for

lifeline Utilities.
The team went altogether during the first sets of Key

Informant Interviews due to issues concerning vehicular
service availability and the availability of MPDO/MDRRMO
staff to accompany the team. However, the team was
divided into pairs during the latter part of the activity
because of proximity advantages. The dates and the
assignment of tasks per barangay are shown in table 1
below.

4. Data Clearing and Risk Mapping

The answers from the KII were encoded accordingly

by each member assigned to each exposure unit for data
processing, after the KII schedule. The results were then
organized in the exposure database which were generated
through secondary data gathering from municipal offices
(MPDO, MDRRMO, Municipal Engineering Office, Municipal
Assessor’s Office) and provincial offices (DPWH, PPDO and
DepEd). The risk maps were prepared using QGIS.
5. FGD for the Likelihood of Occurrence and Severity of

Consequence Scoring
The program flow of the FGDs had three phases: data

validation, map consultation, and scoring. Stakeholders from
different barangays were invited at the Abatan Liga
Function Hall, third floor, for the program. The barangays
were clustered into groups, however several factors had
affected the actual conduct of the program on exact
dates, so the barangays were not evenly distributed (see
Table below).

6. Data Analysis and Risk Mapping
After collecting data from the FGD, the risk scores

were added to the exposure database of the exposure units
to compute for the risk scores of the barangays. After the risk
scores were identified, the risk category of the scores were
assigned, whether the barangay’s exposure element was at
high, moderate, or low risk. The guidelines published by
HLURB was the basis of the risk scores and categories. Risk
maps were generated by the team members responsible for
the specific exposure units.
7. Preparation of On-site Presentation
The slide presentations were prepared by the team

members separately by exposure units. The slide templates
were prepared by Junella Mae Royo, and was then
consolidated and edited by Marla Clarisol Agas.
8. On-site Presentation
The program was initiated and managed by Junella

Mae Royo. The team members have agreed on having
assigned different parts of the presentation in a certain

order. The results of the Climate Change Vulnerability

Assessment (CCVA) were presented by Elvin Christian Pua.
The remaining parts of the disaster risk assessment (DRA)
were presented by all four practicum team members,
particularly: Marla Agas for Population and Urban Use Areas,
Elvin Pua for Natural Resource-based Production Areas, Bing-
Bing Reyes for Lifeline Utilities, and Junella Mae Royo for
Critical Point Facilities.
9. College Presentations
As the team also reported the results to the faculty of

DCERP, a similar pattern of presentation was adapted from
the on-site presentation with major modifications done after
consultation with the practicum advisers both on-site and
after the practicum team has arrived back in UPLB.
10. Report Revisions and Submission of Final Reports
After all presentations, the team members revised

their reports based on the input from the field and within the
university. Specifically, the member/s assigned for editing the
technical report and project output was Junella Mae Royo
and for the team report, Bing-bing Reyes with the assistance
of Junella.
The scientific poster, on the other hand, was

prepared by Bing-bing Reyes with the help of Elvin Christian
Pua and Marla Clarisol Agas.
C. Difficulties Encountered
1. Lack of Updated Secondary Data
Some of the data that the team needed were either

outdated like the Community-Based Monitoring System (2013), or

unavailable in the municipality, while some are inconsistent with

other documents (e.g. facilities in the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan and Comprehensive Development Plan). Moreover, there
were data which are completely unavailable, such as certain
shapefiles (i.e. crop/agricultural lands, bridges, water tanks,
electrical lines/posts, drainages, churches), data on the design and
conditions of facilities and utilities, and disaggregated data on
specific crops. This required the team to generate the data through
KII, field validation and GIS plotting and mapping (in which case
Google Earth was also utilized).
2. Distance of the Barangays from one another
The estimated travel time for each barangay ranges from 30

minutes to almost two hours. The group also encountered
difficulties with transportation because only one service van was
provided by the LGU, so the group had to go altogether for the KIIs
on some of the barangays, which had been a little time-inefficient.
3. Lack of participation of barangays stakeholders
During KIIs and FGDs, participants were informed by the

team with the assistance of MDRRMO and MPDO of the schedule
of interview and other activities related to the study which will need
their attendance. However, there are times when no
representative will attend on the said date or in some cases only
one or two will show up. Because of these instances, some activities
had to be postponed and moved to another date.

SECTION IV
ASSESSMENT OF THE FIELD EXPERIENCE
Marla Clarisol L. Agas
Pre-Practicum
The years I have stayed in college developed my skills, perspective, and

capacities that I needed as both a human ecologist and a planner. However, it
also taught me there are still things I have yet to learn and realize outside the
academic institution. This field experience opened my eyes to the reality of my
chosen profession. It helped me deeply appreciate and understand my role in
the environment and community. Furthermore, this opportunity helped me
discover new vision, experience, and culture. But the best part was it helped me
develop my passion for planning.
As we were developing the terms of reference and technical project

proposal, I learned the basic concept of what we are supposed to do. However,
I think the preparation before the deployment was too short for us to really
appreciate and understand the study. When the day of the deployment arrived,
I realized that for two-months I will be away from the comforts of my home, my
friends and family, and the easy life the city. It would take big adjustments but
this will be worthwhile.
Practicum-Proper
I knew the process of the CDRA was critical and every step was crucial
but as we arrived in Bauko, it became more real. We encountered a rough start
but we were blessed to be assigned to an area with amazing view and
wonderful people. I became attached to the community and desire to give my
best efforts grew stronger. The study had a lot of backlogs but it fueled me to
deliver a quality output. And I hope that we did.
Post-Practicum

After almost two months, I realized that I gained more than just
experience and skills, but also memories, perspective, and friendship. This
experience was more than I have expected. It certainly have changed me.
Now, I am more than excited to practice my profession.

Bing-bing M. Reyes
Pre-Practicum
The entire four years of my stay in the university have been very much
enlightening and it has taught me a lot of things that transcended the
boundaries of a conventional classroom system. In our pursuit of Human
Ecology, we were trained to conduct researches, develop programs and plans,
interact well with people, and become good stewards of the environment,
among others. All of those things had been the bullets that gave us a good
weapon as we developed our terms of reference and project proposal as a
preparation for our deployment for the conduct of this study. One thing that I
realized during the pre-deployment is that “you should never settle what you
already know of” and that “you should always be hungry for more knowledge
and facts to become better equipped”. Not because you already know how to
execute a study, does it mean that there’s no more room for more information,
because there is always room for improvement.
It was frightening at first, the fact that we were going to work on our own
in an unfamiliar community to practice what we have learned. There has been a
lot of pressure because of the thought that this wasn’t going to be a mere
research study, but Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment with which the plans of
the Municipality is going to be based, and the people’s taxes are going to be
used. Yet, it was something that is worth getting nervous and excited of, both at
the same time.
Practicum Proper
The entirety of the duration of our study hasn’t always been easy. There
have been many challenges along the way. We encountered difficulties in the
availability of updated and existing data, there were times when we had to
adjust our schedules because of unforeseen events, and there were even
instances that we had been lost in the process. However, the commitment of the
technical working group, the kindness of the municipal staffs and the active

participation of the local stakeholders gave direction and life to the study, and
everything had been possible because of their accommodation.
Post-Practicum
This was the part that we had to manage everything starting from our
time, to our resources and even our lives as a whole. This was the defining
moment not only for our output, but also for our team and our individual selves.
There are three things that I learned throughout the practicum duration. First, you
should not settle for what data is only available. We should always find ways to
generate the data that we need should it not be available. Secondly, planning is
crucial, but things don’t always go as planned, so there must not only be a lone
version of the plan but several of it, from A-Z, if possible. And last, it always pays
to be critical and keen to details. Guidelines are helpful, but the local scenario is
even more significant to consider.
The practicum experience and my entire journey as a student of Human

Ecology definitely was life-changing. It has inspired me in so many ways and it
allowed me to meet people that I may have spend short periods of time with,
but have made an impact to my consciousness and aspirations. Every single
experience definitely motivated me to become better at my profession in order
to deliver the service that the people deserve.

Elvin Christian G. Pua
Pre-Practicum
Earlier on, and fortunately, if the University ever taught me anything about
studying here at UPLB, it’s that things never get easy when you get in it. You are
just going to have to get better, improve yourself, because you are your own
person and no one will help you.
I think this is the guiding realization that helped me in the early stages of my
supervised field experience or practicum. It does not really matter whether I
exaggerated my opening statement or not, because what really mattered to
me during that time was how much I had to adapt to the demands of this course
if I were to pass the subjects. That meant asking myself again, “how much do I
need to stretch my capabilities and resources?” or to a more understandable
extent, “how much do I need beat myself up again?”.
However, even if we could say that I “beat myself up,” other relevant pre-
practicum courses helped me understand the nature of field experiences and
work. It was harsh, but extremely useful especially the part on realizing the value
of proposals and projects. At the end of it, I thought I gathered enough
information through peers and instructors how difficult practicum is going to be. I
tried not to think much of it, although I was excited and nervous at the same
time, since I know that what I feel or think will not be of any importance to
anyone during this challenge. It is a fact that it will only lead to another endless
conversation of “if you want to pass, you need to comply.” Frankly, that was not
a bad thing. That was enough motivation I need for me to face up to that
obstacle.
Practicum Proper
Although I did understand how hard practicum was going to be,

experiencing it was an entirely different matter. When we arrived at the
practicum site, we were immediately welcomed by the locals. The municipal
government of Bauko, Mountain Province helped in filling our needs as much as

possible and showed us full commitment in assisting us in the conduct of climate

and disaster risk assessment. The issue on budget allocation for us, however, was
a hard blow in our professional terms with the municipality. We traveled
northward, far away from our homes, expecting that our budget for survival will
be partly covered by the municipal government only to be disputed by the
budget officials themselves when we have already settled with the mayor this
issue through the memorandum. It was a good thing that it the problem was
resolved later on.
The part where we conducted the actual steps to collect and analyze data
for the assessment is a bittersweet one. Firstly, the process of CDRA seemed too
complicated in the beginning and I was only able to fully understand it when I
was already working with it and handled how the information I am organizing
could be used in generating climate and disaster inputs for decision making. On
one hand, it also seemed to me that there was confusion and difficulty between
the technical working group and the practicum team because of unavailability
of important data. If it is not unavailable, in some cases, it is aggregated which
cannot be divided or separated into information specific to each barangay.
Our primary data gathering activities were also a situation to be reckoned

with. But, thanks to the help of officials and staff from MDRRMO and MPDO, we
were able to make do with what we have under such limited time constraints. In
general, the people of Bauko were always kind to our team and the food,
whether snacks or full meals, they served us in everything that we did there
meant something more to me. It was an invitation to their existence. It was a
portion of their lives, and they gave us a part of it even though we had problems
with how we scheduled our visits and interviews.
The travel I experienced was one of the things I treasure during our
practicum. I don’t really get to go out much at home, so I am really grateful to
MDRRMO for touring us. A small party was prepared for us the night we were
scheduled to leave the next morning. Everything was an unforgettable
experience.

Post-Practicum
This is truly the part where I was pressured to my limit. Apart from having to
actually do the full-blown technical aspect of a risk assessment, I was only really
able to actualize what I have learned when I was back here and finalizing our
output. First, you are only as good as your group. Working alone never works,
and it will only lead to inconsistent or misalignment with the whole group.
Second, you have to sort effectively which data shall be eliminated and which
ones shall be included based on critical judgment. You should not just
automatically omit information just because data cannot be given by the
offices. Rather, further inspection into available secondary data shall be the next
best option. And third, consult as early as possible. Critical thinking does not
always lead to correct decisions and this is especially important to a study which
will be used as reference to plan the future of a whole municipality.
Human Ecology as a discipline has given me a view of things in a way I have

never seen before. It provided ways for me to improve on the thing I lack the
most: social proficiency. Our practicum experience may not be perfect, but it
has opened up a spectrum of new desire to learn more about planning in
relation to physical space. It is now more than ever that I yearn to plan and
apply its discipline because it is a tool to gain control of something and steer the
development of communities, societies, and environments into actual results. All
these mixed thoughts and feelings, both negative and positive, our experience in
Bauko, the people who we were able to interact with inside and outside of
CHE—all of these are only the beginning. I have gained so much from
everything, and even in a small way I will be part of something significant in the
future—a more endearing and hopeful one.

Junella Mae F. Royo
Pre-practicum
I have stayed for six years in the university and I know that every year I am
gaining something from the courses I have taken and from the people I have
been with through my journey as a university student. At the start of my last
semester in UPLB, I realized that I have only been with the College of Human
Ecology for five semesters, compared to other students who have spent their
whole college life in this field, I started to doubt myself whether I was ready for
the practicum. I was really hesitant whether I should take the course or just take it
the next semester but then I was already enlisted and it was a point of no return
for me. I had to do it. Besides, the College of Human Ecology and the
Department of Community and Environmental Resource Planning where I
belong, have always made sure that the students they are sending for practicum
are well backed up by the knowledge, skills, and experiences which were honed
from the courses they are required to take. I dedicated my time focusing on
what should be done as preparation for the fast-approaching practicum.
We were given two options on which study we would like to be part of.
Although it would still depend on the deliberations of the faculty on which study
and site will suit us. From the very beginning of the course, I was firm in my
decision that I wanted to be part of the team which will conduct Climate and
Disaster Risk Assessment in Bauko. Luckily, it was what happened. However, there
was pressure on our end especially that the department has developed its
partnership with the LGU of Bauko for years already and the outputs of the
previous teams were amazing. Nevertheless, I was excited and afraid at the
same time since for the very first time I will have to be away from my family and
from my friends.

Practicum Proper
It was hard to adjust at first because of the cold weather but the warm
welcome of the people in Bauko eventually made us feel like we are part of
them.
The first few days, we focused on gathering secondary data at the

Municipal Hall. We were able to make friends with the staff of the different offices
while doing our job and this exposed us to a real working environment. For the
following days, we were able to go to the different barangays in the municipality
and this exposed us to the differences of people and their culture. I knew I was
learning so much and at the same time I had the responsibility to be able to use
it for the study.
There were many challenges during the conduct of the study especially
because of the time constraints. We had to do everything fast without
compromising the quality of our output. Although we were able to read the
guidelines for CDRA, there were so many times that we had to reread it because
it’s really different when you’re already at the site and doing it. It was also hard
not having direct guidance and supervision from the HLURB, unlike the previous
teams which conducted CDRA, where they have direct guidance from the said
agency. We were really thankful for the mid-practicum visit of one of our
practicum supervisors because we were enlightened in so many aspects. As the
leader of the team, I can say that even though we have our failures, the team
was always persistent in delivering what we have worked on especially because
of the relationship we have developed with the community. They were always so
supportive of what we were doing and so we had to keep in mind that we are
doing this not only for ourselves but for the whole community of Bauko. Their
efforts in participating in our study will not go to waste as we are really
determined to finish what we have started.

Post-Practicum
I consider this as the most critical part of my college days. There are so
many things that we still need to accomplish with so little time. We were
overwhelmed by the workload that we have in our hands. There were so many
times that I would lock myself up in my room and just cry, and after a few
minutes, start working again.
I know there are more challenges in this life that I would encounter so I
must not give up. Although I have realized that I have learned so much
especially from the failures we’ve done during our practicum proper, the
challenge is not only to learn from it but to make up for it and do better.
