For those who will take the Field Trip and seminar program next year, I recommend that all students should know their schedules. Like the bus arrangement, schedules of company visit and time schedules.
my blog: Like what happened in PLDT Company. Some of us haven't visited the company because they have no forms. That is why some of my classmates haven't visited the Hitachi GST Company. This situation is an example of tiime conflict. And it can ruin all the schedules. I hope this kind of problem can help the next batch to improve this kind of situation

October 4, 2010 was the most awaited part of this program. One hundred fifty eight students of University of Southeaster Philippines of Institute of Computing, a 3rd year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science participated the Major Field Trip in Metro Manila.
We visited the following: Bayantel, UP Diliamn, Ayala Techno Hub (SeaChange Company and IBM Company), Advance Science and Technology Institute (ASTI), Social Security System, Hitachi GST, Tagaytay City (Peoples Park in the Sky), Enchanted Kingdom, Telecoms Training Institute and MMDA (Traffic Engineering). We’ve learned many things. The most memorable part for me was in UP Diliman.

Field Trip Day 5
Day 5
Today, I went on a company visit to Telecoms Training Institute in Valenzuela and MMDA (Traffic Engineering) in Mandaluyong.
This is our last day of our field trip. :( Some of us were sad because they want to extend the field trip.. But it can't be. We had four buses. Last day in Manila. We really enjoyed the last hours. Even it was hot that time.
Telecommunications Training Institute or TTI was originally established for the purpose of delivering telecommunications training programs to TELOF employees. However, in view of the training needs of other players in the telecommunications industry, its training programs were opened to other interested parties, such as: technical staff of PTEs, employees from other government agencies, students, out-of-school youths, and foreign students to name a few.
Before going to MMDA, we had our lunch in KFC. It was so hot that day. It was our first time that we visited the company in field. I mean no aircon. We really feel the heat of the sun.
We arrived at MMDA around 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. We went to their place were we can find the CCTV Cameras that in Metro Manila. The CCTV Camera's are big help to monitor what's happening in the road of Manila. They can have the action immediately if there were accident or other matters that is happening in Metro Manila. All of them are watching the CCTV Camera's 24/7. They have to do their job well. MMDA personnel and equipment remain ready for immediate deployment by Task Force.
What I learned?
TTI has trained selected representatives from countries in Asia. Telecoms Training Institute offers the best training programs in the telecommunications industry. The authorized person told us that radio dispatch or two-way radio communication systems still remains to be the fastest, most reliable, and most affordable means in mobile communications. For mobile communications requirement. The system, which utilizes a “trunked flat form”, can accommodate multi-talk groups, and users can access secured channels for privacy (private call). I don't have any idea about he's topic.
What I liked ?
I liked the services of MMDA like: Transport and Traffic Management – which includes the formulation, coordination and monitoring of policies, standards, programs and projects to rationalize the existing transport operations, infrastructure requirements, the use of thoroughfares; and promotion of safe and convenient movement of persons, goods; provision for the mass transport system and the institution of a system to regulate road users; administration and implementation of all traffic enforcement operations, traffic engineering services and traffic education programs, including the institution of a single ticketing system. Flood Control and sewerage management - which includes the formulation and implementation of policies, standards, rules and regulations, programs and projects for an integrated flood control, drainage and sewerage system. Public Safety – which includes the formulation and implementation of programs and policies and procedures to achieve public safety, especially the preparedness for preventive or rescue operations during times of calamities and disasters such as conflagrations, earthquake, flood and tidal waves; and coordination and mobilization of resources and the implementation for rehabilitation and relief operations in coordination with national agencies concerned. Health and Sanitation, Urban Protection and Pollution Control – which includes the formulation and implementation of policies, rules and regulations, standards, programs and projects
Some of them are the services offered by the MMDA.
I hoped we can have that in Davao City. Actually we have that here but I want to use more technologies.
What I didn’t like?
I don't like visiting the Telecoms Training Institute. I don't know why, because I'm sleepy that time. The company didn't catch up my attention.

Field Trip Day 4
Day 4
Today, I went on a company visit to Hitachi Global Storage Technologies in Binan Laguna. Our group was the only one who visited the Hitachi company. But before that we had breakfast in Garden Plaza Hotel. All of us were very excited for day 4. You know why? Because we are going to Tagaytay City and Enchanted Kingdom. One of the awaited event in our Field Trip. We love this day.
Hitachi is one of the largest collections of private companies. It is an honor to visit the company and be entertained with their employees. Before we went outside, we had our registration first and wore a laboratory jacket and a shoe protector. After that, one of the employer of Hitachi entertained us. I forgot her name. I liked it when she speaks, she was so smart. She told us that Hitachi is unique in that we offer profiles by company and by subsidiaries within those companies, vs. our competitors who provide profiles by individual office. Our profiles aggregate offices by subsidiary to save you money and time. She added, “our profile database offers profiles on more than 400,000 private companies worldwide. These profiles provide information you won't find elsewhere because these companies are not obligated to report this information to anyone. We provide profiles on more private companies than any other information provider on the web”. Amazing isn't it? They also have a power point presentation. We enjoyed watching the Tera Song. The tera byte song. After the power point presentation they give us some briefing about the product that they do in their laboratory. They called it wafer. It is a circle platinum made in gold. They cut it into strips, then cut it like a dot. A small one. One circle of wafer can have a 30,000 squares and put it on their product. We were amazed when we saw the square one. When we have that we can sell it because it was made in gold. We visited each laboratory to have some look what their workers do.
After visiting the company, all of us were very excited. We went to Max's Restaurant in Tagaytay City. We enjoyed the trip, many beautiful places we've seen. I think our group was the only one who went in Max's Restaurant, if they will go there the time will not follow the schedule so our professor told that we will just bring their lunch and they will just eat it in People's Park in Tagaytay. We loved the view in Tagaytay. After we had our lunch, we took some souvenir pictures there. Tagaytay highlands were sa beautiful. I love seeing those places. Tagaytay has traditionally been one of the most visited tourism destinations in the Philippines and located in the Province of Cavite, island of Luzon, approximately 56 kilometers south of Manila. Tagaytay City is considered as the country’s second summer capital next to Baguio City because of its crisp and cool climate all year round, is a treasure box of pleasure points by itself.
After that we went to People's Park in the Sky in Tagaytay. I really love the place. It seems that I was out in the country. We were given an hour to visit the Park. We bought souvenirs. There were many beautiful views that we've seen, took some pictures and videos in the park. All of us enjoyed the trip in Tagaytay.
After Tagaytay, we went to Enchanted Kingdom. The most awaited event. Enchanted Kingdom has been one of the most visited tourist spots here in the Philippines. When we almost in the place we were shocked because there were many buses outside the Enchanted Kingdom. We thought when we arrived their, we were the only people but hundreds of people were there. Some school had also their Educational tour in Enchanted Kingdom. So my group went to the entrance so that we can have a ride. So many rides were there. But unfortunately there were many people who made their lines. So we decided to ride the Space Shuttle. We were afraid to try the ride. After 2 hours of waiting at last we rode the Space Shuttle. We really really enjoyed it. It was amazing. One of the memorable experienced that we had in Manila. Even you ride three or four, you can't enjoyed it if you will not try the Space Shuttle. The best experienced in my life right now. Amazing. After riding, I bought some souvenirs in the store. I bought an enchanted ball pen.
After that, all of us returned to the bus. And some of us returned to the Hotel and some went to Divisoria to buy some souvenirs because it is our last night in Manila. We were so tired that time but really enjoyed the night. My group decided to returned to the hotel. And have some rest and to packed up our things.
What I learned?
The company provides immediate online access to more than three million records including business articles, industry reports, company profiles and executive contacts pulled from business data resources maintained by The Gale Group, Inc. Hitachi provides solutions catering to diverse needs of its customers in Philippines. They market a wide range of products and services for various industry sectors like power generation systems, transmission and distribution systems, heavy industrial equipment, industrial components and equipment as well as elevators and escalators. Hitachi’s philosophy of inspiring the next has made us a world leader in a wide range of technologies to improve every aspect of life.
What I liked ?
I liked the company Hitachi. They ensure the data meets the needs of our customers and conforms to industry standards through direct contact with the companies themselves via corporate websites, communications with company representatives, and phone surveys. I liked itwhen we visited each laboratory even we were outside the laboratory because we can't go inside and we might also disturb them. They have a lots of employee. One who guide us in the laboratory told us that the employee's should do their job in a right manner, they should carefully clean the chips. After cleaning it, the wafer will send to other laboratory room to check one by one. There's a lot of process to be done in this kind of product. If one of the employee's will have a mistake automatically the employee will no longer work to Hitachi. Hitachi will breathe new life into the next era as symbolized by our corporate statement "Inspire the Next" and will contribute to achieving a comfortable and abundant society as a "Best Solutions Partner".
I love the rides. I love the place in Tagaytay. I really enjoyed the day. It was a tiring day but worth it. I was there.
What I didn’t like?
I don't like eating breakfast in Garden plaza Hotel. I really don't like their food. When I used the glass for drinking, it smells like a cockroach. To have that kind of breakfast really really got a bad morning for me. I hope next time, they will clean their utensils and other materials in kitchen so that the people who check-in their hotel will love the amenities they have.

Field Trip Day 3
Day 3
Today, I went on a company visit to Advance Science and Technology Institute in C.P. Garcia, UP Diliman Quezon City. Before we arrived in UP, we had a breakfast in Bellore Restaurant in Examiner Quezon City, besides the Grills and Sizzles Restaurant. In day 3, all of us were energized. I don't know why. Some of us were sleepy. :)
We arrived around 9:00 in the morning in Advance Science and Technology Institute(ASTI), unfortunately we can't go inside of the room because one batch was already cater of the faculty. So our tour guide decided to go to UP canteen to buy some souvenir. We went to one store which we can buy t-shirt, accessories, jackets, sling and etc. Most of the students bought UP slings and t-shirts. The price is affordable. I bought 3 t-shirts for souvenir. After buying those staffs, we went back to the Advance Science and Technology Institute. One of the speaker talked about the typhoon warning device. What are the things to do when having a typhoon and what are the solutions to prevent it.
After visiting in ASTI, we went to Quezon Avenue in Kenny Rogers to have our lunch. We enjoyed the fried chicken their. We took some pictures in the restaurant.
After lunch, we proced to Social Security System in East Avenue Quezon City. The building was so big. I can't imagine that the building that I saw was the SSS company, compared to SSS Davao the building is so small. The building is so big.
The duties and responsibilities of SSS employee-members are the following: An SSS member should:
1.secure their SS numbers;
2.ensure that they are reported for coverage under the SSS by their employers;
3.pay their monthly share of contributions and ensure that these contributions are remitted to the SSS by their employers;
4.ensure that SSS Form R3’s (Contributions Collection Lists) where their name are included, are submitted to the SSS by their employers;
5.pay their monthly loan amortization, if any, thru salary deduction and to ensure that these payments are remitted to the SSS by their employers;
6.update or correct their personal records with the SSS by submitting a duly filled-up SSS Form E-4 (Member’s Data Amendment) and supporting document/s to avoid delays in the processing of benefit claims; and
7.be conscious of changes and improvements in SSS policies and benefit structure.
Mentioned above are the responsibilities of SSS members. They should follow that simple steps.
After visiting the company, we went to Tutuban Mall, also in Divisoria. But before that, the maynilad tours, the agency instructed us that they will give our meal allowance. We will not longer have our dinner in a restaurant. It's a nice idea to give our meal allowance so that we can have the money. We enjoyed shopping in divisoria. But were afraid if there were snatchers around us. Just kidding. :)
What I learned?
I learned about their project that involves development of an Open Source based desktop solution called Byanihan Linux (BL) with the end goal of providing the best alternative desktop solutions to the Filipinos. About the typhoon warning device they discussed to us that the PAGASA Interactive Climate and Weather Information Network (PICWIN) project aims to modernize the communications network of PAGASA, expedite the delivery of weather advisory services to the concerned public officials as well as the general public, and provide a platform for Philippine meteorological researchers to develop and adapt various numerical models. In SSS, social security benefits includes sickness, disability, retirement, maternity, and death funeral. Those benefits mentioned were a big help in our lives. We are pretty lucky if we are a member of this system. Pension is a big help, really a big help. Like my grandfather, also my parents.
What I liked ?
I liked the Social Security System convention hall. The place was comfortable. The hall is so big. Like a theater. I liked their presentation. They really explain the rules and policy of the company. They are very secured with their system. I want to have a job in SSS. The facilities especially some guards were very hospitable and some of them came from in Davao City. As we passed by in the corridor, we heard saying a visayan words, I can't remember what the guard told. But it's so amazing when we saw dabawenyo working in that company.
What I didn’t like?
I don't like going to other place specially when we were heading to Tutuban, the traffic can really give you stress! Can consumed time.

After visiting the two companies. We proceed to Department of Computer Science (UP Alumni Engineers Centennial Hall). We visited the 6 DCS Laboratories.
After visiting UP Diliman, we went to Tramway Restaurant, Timog Avenue in Quezon City. All of us were very hungry. We had a great dinner in the restaurant even their food is not that delicious. :) Then, after dinner, we went to Trinoma for a while. Some of us did not go out of the bus because they feel tired. They want to go to the hotel. After an hour all of us came back to hotel and have some rest. To have some sleep and get ready for the 3rd day.
What I learned?
We had a lots of learning in IBM. We went to their data center. The speaker taught us about the services and it includes the assistance in a variety of areas and in a complex, multiplatform environment, including Linux -- from design and planning, procurement, installation, integration and migration assistance to systems management, telephone consulting and on-site hardware and software maintenance. The six laboratories are the following: Algorithm and Complexity Lab, Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence Lab, Scientific Computing Lab, Computer Security Lab, Networking and Distributed Systems Lab and Web Science Lab. I am so amazed when I saw the work of one of the students of CS students. He made a program that can count the blink of his eyes. That program is not an easy task. After he presented his work, I was inspired of his work. I don't know if I can do like that. For me, it really takes time to make that kind of program. He also said that program is easy. Woooo. :) After seeing his program all of us were very proud of them. And we are inspired because of their work.
What I liked ?
This day was our second day and it seems that we stayed for a long long time here in Manila because we had a very long day. We had many activities this day. It's an honor to go in UP Diliman. I really enjoyed. We really enjoyed. I liked the school. UP Diliman is a big school ever that I've seen.
What I didn’t like?
Hmmm... What I didn’t like? Let me think?... I love UP Diliman.
Today, I went on a company visit to UP Diliman in Quezon City. Before we went in UP, we had a breakfast in Grills and Sizzles, Examiner, Quezon City. We arrived in UP around 8:00 o'clock in the morning. The UP faculties welcomed us and we registered before the symposium starts. We had our seminar, UP-USEP (Information Technology Symposium), held at NISMED Auditorium, UP Diliman. Before they present their speakers, they taught us the Y4IT moves. All of us really enjoyed the Y4IT moves.
Professor Lemuel Brana welcomed us. He is the former president of the oldest and largest IT association in the Philippines-the Philippine Computer Society Foundation, also a member of the People Management Association of the Philippines as Information Technology advocate in the HR industry. This guy is so amazing and intelligent man. He taught us how to be an IT Professional and his life being one of the head of their department. The second speaker was Ms. Rose Ann Sale, she's an MS Computer Science student in UP Diliman and a former member of the Web Science Research Group at the Department of Computer Science researching on educational games for kinesthetic learners and developing a spelling application called KineSpell2. We enjoyed watching her video clips in KineSpell2. The third speaker was Mr. John Boaz Lee. He is a graduate student at the Department of Computer Science UP Diliman, also an instructor at the UP Training Center. It seems that my classmates had a crush on him. Just kidding. He's young to become one of the instructor of IT Training Center. And the 4th speaker was Ms. Michelle Moscatel. She pursue her masteral degree in computer science in UP Diliman. She graduated in UP Mindanao. She is also a full-time instructor in UP Diliman, teaching engineering students in programming and computers. Then, the next topic was about Animation. Ms. Len de Garcia was the speaker. I will never forget her as what she told us that to become a lay-out artist no need to have a high grade. All of us were laughing that time. :) She really encourage us what talents what we have. She's really cool person and very talented
Two speakers to go and all of us were very sleepy that time and very hungry. Wew.
The next speaker was Professor Carlos Bott. He is a software engineer with a MBA, a Msc in Information Systems. And a Msc in Aeronautical Science. Also, he is a Game Development Training Consultant at the UP ITTC. The last speaker is Dr. Ferdinand Pitagan. A Monbusho scholar from 2005 to 2010.He is an assistant professor at the College of Education – University of the Philippines, teaching educational technology courses. At last, lunch time. :) After lunch, we went to UP-AYALA Technohub. We visited IBM Innovation Center and SeaChange.
After visiting the two companies. We proceed to Department of Computer Science (UP Alumni Engineers Centennial Hall). We visited the 6 DCS Laboratories.
After visiting UP Diliman, we went to Tramway Restaurant, Timog Avenue in Quezon City. All of us were very hungry. We had a great dinner in the restaurant even their food is not that delicious. :) Then, after dinner, we went to Trinoma for a while. Some of us did not go out of the bus because they feel tired. They want to go to the hotel. After an hour all of us came back to hotel and have some rest. To have some sleep and get ready for the 3rd day.

Field Trip Day 1
Day 1
Today, I went on a company visit to Bayantel. We arrived around 1:00 o’clock in the afternoon in Manila. All of us, batch 3 and 4 went to our assigned bus. It was a fine and hot afternoon. But before we went there, we’ve seen many places. All of us were very excited and energized. I can’t explain what I really feel. After how many months of waiting, I can’t believe that all of us are in Manila. We had lunch at Jade Valley Restaurant in Timnog Avenue, Quezon City. We had a great lunch in Jade Valley and all of us that time were very very hungry. We took some pictures. After lunch, we went to Bayantel, which located in SFDM, Quezon City. One of the employee of Bayantel welcomed us. We went to their meeting room and beside that room we can see their employees working in their respective tasks. We were amazed when we saw their projects about networking. Also, we talked about power interruptions and their intermittent connection. And had an exchange questions between students and the speaker after the power point presentation. Bayan Telecommunications, the operating arm of BTHC and formerly known as International Communications Corporation.
After the company visit, we went to Mall of Asia. All of us were very excited. It's our first time! We had given an hour to stroll in MOA. Then, we went to the restaurant to have our dinner in Taste Asia. And arrived/check-in at the hotel-Garden Plaza Hotel in Paco Manila around 9:00 in the evening. All of us were very tired.
What I learned?
I learned about the IP performance to test, measure and their networks. Also, they said that even they have a fast connection they usually have an intermittent connection. Bayan Telecommunications' existing nationwide network is composed of satellite, terrestrial and land/submarine based cable facilities.
What I liked ?
I liked their line advertisement, “gaganda pa ang buhay sa bayan.” In this line, they encourage the Filipino people to like and love their products. With this, the speaker said that all products of bayantel are best and they find it easier to go global.
What I didn’t like?
In the first company visit, I don't like what the speaker told us. Some of his topics were not related to our course, Information Technology. Some of his topics are related to engineering students. But we have no choice, we have to listen what the speaker taught us.

Assignment 4
In this commencement of Steve Jobs there were many lessons that we can learn. Connecting the dots is all about the things that happen in our life. Our life is very important. We have to do things in a right way. There are many trials that we have to face. There are good and bad reasons. All the things that we will encounter in the future are just a challenge for us. It is just like a game. You can win or lose. You have to accept the reality of life. Failure is just a lesson for us to learn and to be taught. In everything we do in this life, do what you want that you think is right.
That’s why we have to find what we love most. In my life, I have no doubt what I’ve been before. Life is so confusing. Why? Because we don’t know what will happen to us in the future. Many things will come to us. Just trust yourself in everything you do, don’t be afraid in dealing with a things that you feel you can’t do. Just like lifting a baby in the air. They really don’t know what will happen to them.
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them by looking backward. So we have to learn from what went before. Yeah! That is true. 'Cause when you connect the dots looking forward, you are just expecting it. Expecting on something that will never happen feels like, we are dying.
The second story is all about the Love and Lost. Love is the things that we care for. The things that we like. The things that we want. In life, not all the things that we want will just come to us. Finding what we love can lead us to a better life.
“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for you lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As will all the matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. “
In that quotation from Steve, I was inspired. We have to believe of what we want and what we love. Losing what we love is the hardest part. We have to accept the fact. But there’s always a rainbow after a rain. Trials are just a test for us. Don’t give up if there’s something you give. Don’t be scared. Just love what you do. Just enjoy what life brings to us.
Just like in a relationship, you have to do your best. Being able to love and to be love is the happiest moment that I encounter.
The last story is about Death. I’m afraid of death. I’m so scared to think about this. I know all of us are afraid of death. In the story of Steve Job, God has given him a second chance in his life. Every time I see myself in death is just like living in a useless life. It’s so hard to admit that sometimes I want to end this life. I don’t know why. So tired to face all the challenges in my life, but I know there’s something good that will come to me. Even I want to surrender; I’m just enjoying what I have right now. Do what you want, tim
Lessons of hope and inspiration I have learned in the past is such a great thing to me. Stay hungry for all the things that will happen to us.
