 REFLECTION PAPER

WEEK 1

(January 14 – January 16)

During my first week of on-the-job training at NLRC RAB 10, I felt both

thrilled and excited as I entered an unfamiliar environment and community.

It was a new experience for me, and I had the opportunity to meet many new

people. I was assigned to assist as an administrative aide, where I was

introduced to various office tasks and responsibilities. At the beginning, I was

not confident in handling my work since everything was new to me. I often

asked my supervisor questions regarding paperwork to better understand

the protocols and procedures. This helped me gradually become more

familiar with my tasks. Overall, my first week marked the beginning of my

learning journey in the workplace, and I look forward to gaining more

knowledge and improving my skills in the coming weeks.

Learning experiences and Realizations

Entering an unfamiliar workplace initially brought a mix of excitement

and hesitation. My primary realization this week is that effective

communication is the foundation of professional growth. At the start, I felt a

lack of confidence due to the novelty of the tasks. However, by proactively

asking my supervisor questions regarding protocols and procedures, I was

able to mitigate errors and gain a clearer understanding of my role. I learned

that being an "Administrative Aide" requires not just clerical skill, but also

the initiative to seek clarity and the

adaptability to learn new systems

quickly.
 WEEK 2
(January 19 – January 23)

Now in my second week at the NLRC-RAB 10, I have transitioned into

more hands-on responsibilities. Utilizing the foundations from my first week, I

am gaining a deeper understanding of the Administrative Department's

workflow and am increasingly confident in executing tasks with minimal

supervision. I spent time organizing and updating case files to make sure

everything was complete and in the right order. I also helped double-check

documents for any missing attachments before they were submitted or filed.

On top of that, I handled the photocopying and scanning of various records

needed for official use. This week, I began to understand the pace of work

and the importance of accuracy in every small detail.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week, I realized that in a legal environment like the NLRC, there is

no such thing as a "small" task. Whether I was scanning a page or checking

for a missing attachment, I learned that even a tiny oversight can delay an

entire case. Accuracy isn’t just about following rules; it’s about ensuring the

whole system runs smoothly for the people who need it. I also realized how

much of a difference taking initiative makes. Instead of just sitting around

waiting for instructions, I started looking for small ways to help out, like

tidying up files or getting documents ready. This really helped me build a

better relationship with the staff and made me feel a lot more confident in

the office.

WEEK 3

(January 26 – January 30)

By the final week of January and my third week at NLRC-RAB 10, I had

already adjusted well to the office environment and became more confident

in handling my tasks. I was able to independently manage the complaint

filing process and ensure documents were complete and accurate. I also took

responsibility for digitizing and sending files through Gmail, which helped me

understand the importance of efficiency and clear communication in the

workplace. I also had the rewarding experience of guiding the Senior High

School students from the ABCCA strand during their work immersion journey.

Acting as a mentor to them not only helped the office run smoother but also

reinforced my own understanding of our procedures.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week made me realize that being a successful intern is about

more than just following instructions; it is about being proactive and helping

others succeed as well. By mastering my responsibilities to the point where I

no longer need constant supervision, I have gained the confidence to support

my coworkers and lead the younger students. I have learned that taking

initiative and being detail-oriented are the best ways to build a strong

professional reputation.

WEEK 4

(February 2 – February 6)
 During the first week of February, my OJT experience became more

exciting as new interns from Bukidnon State University arrived. Meeting new

people once again made me feel enthusiastic and eager to build new

connections and become their workmate. It reminded me of my first days,

and I felt more confident this time because I was already familiar with the

environment and tasks.

the week was also affected by bad weather, which caused the suspension of

our duty for two days. this week was a mix of excitement and adjustment. It

allowed me to reflect on my growth, as I am now more comfortable in the

workplace and ready to guide or interact with new interns while continuing to

improve my skills.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week was a pretty big turning point for me as a student intern. I

had to get used to a whole new group of people when the new batch of

interns arrived, which really pushed me to step up my communication and

social skills. It was a cool feeling to realize that because I’ve been here

longer, I actually felt confident and comfortable enough to help them out and

interact with everyone easily. I’ve realized that growing in this OJT isn't just

about the tasks I do, but also about how I handle new people and

unexpected situations, which is definitely making me more adaptable and

responsible.

WEEK 5

(February 9 – February 13)

This week was pretty smooth and steady for my OJT since I’ve really

gotten the hang of my daily routine. Doing my usual tasks over and over has

actually been great because it’s making me feel way more consistent and

comfortable with my responsibilities. On Wednesday, I was excused from

duty because our research group was selected to compete in a research

colloquium. So, our teacher called us so that they can teach us on what to do

during the exact research colloquium next week. I felt proud and grateful for

the opportunity, as it was a great experience to represent our work. Overall,

this week was simple yet meaningful, as I was able to balance both my OJT

responsibilities and academic commitments.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week, I learned the importance of consistency in doing my tasks,

as performing my usual duties helped me become more efficient and

confident in my work. I also realized that being familiar with my

responsibilities makes it easier to complete tasks accurately and on time.

being excused to join the research colloquium made me realize the

importance of balancing academic responsibilities and work. It reminded me

that both experiences contribute to my growth and development. I realized

that even a normal week can still help me improve and prepare for future

challenges.

WEEK 6

(February 16 – February 20)

This week was all about productivity and teamwork. I worked really

closely with my co-interns, and we all stepped up to support each other with

the administrative side of things. We teamed up to get documents organized,

and make sure all the compliance files were properly endorsed. It felt like our

teamwork in the department actually got a lot stronger this week, and

helping each other out definitely made us get through the tasks much faster

and more efficiently. we had a day off for Chinese New Year. It was a good

reminder of how important it is to be culturally aware and respect different

traditions in the workplace. As I mentioned before, my group also took part

in the research colloquium this week. Even though we didn't end up in the

top spots, I’m still really thankful for the whole experience. It was such a
great learning moment for me because I got to build my confidence, work on

my presentation skills, and really appreciate all the hard work we put into

our research.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week really taught me a lot about how important it is to respect

different cultures and traditions, especially during celebrations like Chinese

New Year. It made me realize that being part of a professional workplace

also means being aware and considerate of the people around you.

Reflecting on the research colloquium, I learned that success isn't always

about winning or getting a trophy—it’s more about the experience you gain

and how much you improve your skills along the way. Even though we didn't

place in the top, the effort we put in as a team and the confidence I built

were totally worth it. I 've realized that every single experience, whether it's

a holiday break or a big competition, is helping me grow both personally and

professionally.

WEEK 7

(February 23 – February 27)

I continued handling filing complain, recording compliance documents,

and ensuring proper document routing within the department. This week has

been a busy one, as many complaints were filed in our workstation. Because

of this, I, together with my supervisor and fellow interns, worked closely and

helped each other to complete all the tasks. Despite the pressure, it was a

good experience for me because I learned how to cooperate and manage

work in a fast-paced environment. However, I was absent on Thursday since I

was not feeling well due to the workload.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week, I learned the importance of teamwork and proper time

management, especially during busy situations. Handling multiple

complaints helped me improve my patience, communication, and ability to

stay organized under pressure. I also realized that supporting one another in

the workplace makes tasks easier and more efficient. Additionally, I

understood the importance of taking care of my health, as too much

workload can affect my well-being.

WEEK 8

(March 2 – March 6)

The first week of march. I really felt like I hit my stride this

week since I was just sticking to my regular routine in the

Administrative Department. Because I’m already so used to how

everything works, I was able to get through my tasks much faster

and handle my responsibilities without having to ask for much

help. This week was also a busy one. I had a half day due to

guidance, but tasks continued to pile up because there was an

issue in the finance or accounting station. Because of this, we

interns worked together to check and find the conflict in the

papers. It was physically tiring, but I felt mentally happy and

fulfilled because the experience allowed me to enjoy the work and

build a stronger connection with my fellow interns.

Learning experiences and Realizations

The first week of March really showed me how much I’ve

grown in my role within the Administrative Department. Since I’m

so used to the routine now, I was able to fly through my tasks

with way less supervision than before, which made me realize

how much consistency and practice actually pay off. Even though
it was a pretty hectic week—especially with the half-day schedule

and some issues popping up in the finance and accounting

section—it turned out to be a really good learning experience. My

co-interns and I had to team up to review documents and track

down errors, and even though it was honestly exhausting, it

taught me a lot about patience, being detail-oriented, and how

important teamwork is when things get stressful. I felt both

mentally fulfilled and happy. This experience not only

strengthened my skills but also helped me build better

relationships with my co-interns, making the work more enjoyable

and meaningful.

WEEK 9

(March 9 – March 12)

This week was a bit of a different because we switched to a 4-day

workweek, which meant being at the office from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Even

though the days were a lot longer, I actually adjusted pretty quickly and was

able to keep up with all my tasks without any issues. On March 12th at 3:00

PM, we all joined the Labor Arbiters and the rest of the staff for an

earthquake drill. It was a good reminder of how important safety and being

prepared are in a professional workplace. Overall, the week taught me a lot

about being flexible when the schedule changes and staying alert no matter

how long the shift is. Also, I was excused from my internship because of our

graduation pictorial at school. Our school also organized a job fair, which

gave me the opportunity to explore different career options. I took this

chance to apply to several jobs, which helped me gain confidence and

experience in the application process. It made me realize the importance of

being prepared for my future career and taking opportunities seriously.

Learning experiences and Realizations

This week, even though I was excused from my internship due to our

graduation pictorial, I was still able to gain valuable experiences. Attending

the job fair allowed me to explore different job opportunities and understand

what companies are looking for in applicants. I learned the importance of

being confident and prepared when applying for jobs. Submitting multiple

applications also helped me realize that taking initiative is important for

building my future career.

WEEK 10

(March 16 – March 19)

During my second week as an intern, I had to work half days because I

needed to attend a guidance interview required for graduation. Even though

my time at work was limited, I still tried to complete my tasks and stay

responsible. I was not able to fully assist in some office tasks as I had to

prioritize completing my required documents. Some days were normal, while

others were busy, which helped me continue improving my time

management and adaptability. I also felt more motivated to work, especially

with the upcoming holiday on Friday.

Learning experiences and Realizations

Dealing with half-days for my guidance interview actually taught me a

lot about time management. It was a good reality check on how to balance

my actual internship duties with my school requirements. Between the slow

shifts and the super busy ones, I’ve had to learn how to stay productive

regardless of the pace. This week really drove home the importance of

staying committed and responsible, even when I'm working with a tighter

schedule than usual.

 WEEK 11

(March 23 – March 27)

This week marked my final week as an intern at NLRC RAB 10 as I

completed my required 400 hours. Although I initially had only 380 hours,

our group was selected to participate in a research colloquium, which

granted us additional hours and allowed me to complete my OJT

requirement. This week was also special because it coincided with the

celebration of Women’s Month. It became one of the most enjoyable weeks

during my internship, filled with food, singing, and dancing. These activities

gave me the chance to bond more with my co-interns and the staff, making

my last days memorable and fun.

Learning experiences and Realizations

During my final week as an intern at NLRC RAB 10, I realized the

importance of taking opportunities, such as participating in the research

colloquium, which helped me complete my required hours. This experience

taught me to stay active and involved because it can bring unexpected

benefits. I also learned that work is not only about completing tasks but also

about building relationships and enjoying the experience. Celebrating

Women’s Month with the staff and my fellow interns showed me the value of

teamwork, connection, and a positive work environment. Overall, I realized

that my internship journey was not just about fulfilling hours, but about

personal growth, gaining confidence, and creating meaningful memories that

I will carry into my future career.
