CHAPTER ITHE TRAINING PROGRAMA. Importance of the TrainingEducation provides an individual knowledge, skills, competence, desirable qualities and character. It may be acquired through formal and informal ways. Formal education is conducted within the school like the internship training program.This on-the-job training plays a vital role on the part of the trainees because it enhances the ability of the trainees and deploys them in the field of their specialization in order to give them the opportunities to encounter actual circumstances and enables them to use and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in the school. It is an actual learning process that could be easily absorbed by students because in OJT program, they learn while they work. On the other hand, an affective also benefits the company that accepts trainees, because the OJT program provides additional manpower for a lesser labor cost than a regular employee. Employers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting new employees. Since the trainer or the supervisor can follow the trainees progress, he can gauge based on performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee will make a good recruit after the completion of his internship. Such training can be an investment that will be valuable to the agency later on. This is also why trainees should take their internship seriously as it can become a powerful tool and possibly even a source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to career professionals.

B. Objectives of the TrainingThe training program has the following objectives:1. To apply knowledge gained in the classrooms.1. To acquire new skills, knowledge and techniques to be an effective and efficient worker in relation to office work.1. To experience the real and actual office work.1.

Time and Place of the TrainingThe-on-the-job training was conducted at the Legal Division (DAR) Cauayan City. To cover the minimum of 200 hours which was equivalent to 25 working days as course requirements in the office, the training started on November 13, 2013 and ended on December 19, 2013.D. Strategy and Limitation of the TrainingOn-the-job training is requirement in pursuance of the degree of the Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration.

CHAPTER IIBODY OF THE PRACTICUM/JOB TRAININGA. CORPORATE/AGENCY BACKGROUND1. Nature of the AgencyAgrarian reform has to start with the process of distribution of landownership. In addition, considering the extent of development of capitalism and the exploitation of local economics; it needs to be undertaken in conjunction with changes in the economic, social and political model.Ownerships of land has to be submitted to the criteria that only those that work the land, depend on it and live there with their families, have the right to land. Land is a good of nature that needs to be used for the welfare of all. Land is not, and cannot be a marketable good that can be obtained in whatever quality by those that have the financial needs. We depend on the principle of the maximum size of the social ownership of the land per family in relation to the reality in each country.Access to the land by peasants has to be understood as a guarantee for survival and the valorization of their culture, the autonomy of their communities and a new vision of the preservation of natural resources for humanity and future generations. The land is patrimony of the family and land titles only in the name of man have to be avoided.We depend on the principle of the social ownership of the land. So that families have the right to use it for survival and in the beneficial way for society. They cannot use it for commercial purposes. There should be no speculations and it should be prohibited that capitalist enterprises (industries, trader, and financial institution) can obtain large amounts of land.Agrarian reform means, beside the distribution of the land, the governments need to adopt policies with remunerative prices and means that guarantee the democratization of the means of production and control of trade, that stimulate family farming and cooperative agriculture through credits, insurance (effective accomplishment of adequate payment in case of loss of production because of natural disaster).In the current world, facing the oligopolization of the control by Argo industry and the rapidity of technological processes, it is fundamental that peasants and workers in enterprises be guaranteed the control of the Argo industrial complex, which is today transforming agricultural products into food. The right to education is an important as land for the democratization of society and in order to guarantee a better future for our children, for the youth, for the women that live in the rural areas. We defend free access to formal education for all peasants at all levels as social security as indispensable element on case of illness and elderness.Agrarian reform needs to be united with a policy of foods sovereignty, the latter understood as the right of all peoples to plant their agriculture so as to first satisfy with priority all it and national population, with abundant, cheap food of good quality, throughout the year.It is necessary to develop technological models that are opportune for the increase of production and productivity of labor without harming the health of peasants and the population in general, and that also preserve natural resources. They have to be public, with free access and new technologist should be under control of all farmers. It is necessary to create a Seed Bank in order to guarantee subsidies by the state. Producers will control the Seed Bank.Today more than ever, the access and the central of water is part of those that live in the rural areas. Because of it and scarcity, the pressure by capitalist firms to privatize is increasing. We have to link to the process of agrarian reform the defense of the resources as well as its public and democratize use.2. Mission/Vision/Goal StatementMISSIONThe DAR shall lead in the effective implementation of land reform in the country through land reform tenure improvement and security and provision of integrated development services to landless farmers, far welfare, small landowner, cultivation, titling recognition and development of ancestral domains, culture based sustainable development of indigenous communities and peoples and provision of security of tenure and social preparation for access to and use of lands to urban poor.VISIONThe nation empowered of agrarian reform beneficiaries, urban poor, indigenous people and communities that are directly and effectively managing sustainable economic, socio cultural and political development where there is equitable land access use and ownership for improved and dignified quality office.

3. History/Background of the Agency/OfficePre Spanish PeriodThis land is Ours God gave this land to us.Before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, Filipinos lived in villages or barangays ruled by chiefs or datus. The datus comprised the nobility. Then came the maharlikas (freemen), followed by the alipingnamamahay (serfs) and alipingsagigilid (slaves).However, despite the existence of different classes in the social structure, practically everyone had access to the fruits of the soil. Money was unknown and rice served as the medium of exchange.Spanish PeriodUnited we stand, divided we fallWhen the Spaniards came to the Philippines, the concept of encomienda (Royal Land Grants) was introduced. This system grants that Encomienderos must define his encomienda from external attack, maintain peace and order within, and support the missionaries. In turn, the encomiendero acquired the right to collect tribute from the indios (native).The system, however, degenerated into abuse of power by the encomienderos. The tribute soon became land rents to a few powerful landlords. And the natives who once cultivated the lands in freedom were transformed into mere share tenants.1st Philippine RepublicThe yolk has finally brokenWhen the First Philippine Republic was established in 1899, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo declared in the Malolos Constitution his intention to confiscate large states, especially the so-called Friar lands. However, as the Republic was short-lived, Aguinaldos plan was never implemented. American PeriodLong Live AmericaSignificant legislation enacted during the American Period: Philippine Bill of 1902- Set the ceilings on the hectare of private individuals and corporations may acquire 16 hectares for private individuals and 1,024 hectaresfor corporations. Land Registration Act of 1902 (Act No. 496) - Provided for a comprehensive registration of land titles under the Torrens system. Public Land Act of 1903- introduced the homestead system in the Philippines. Tenancy Act of 1993 (Act. No. 4054 and 4113) - regulated relationships between landowners and tenants of rice (50-50 sharing) and sugar cane lands.The Torrens system, which the Americans instituted for the registration of lands, did not solve the problem completely. Either they were aware of the law or if they did, they could not pay the survey cost and other fees required in applying for a Torrens title.

Commonwealth PeriodGovernment for the FilipinosPresident Manuel L. Quezon espoused the Social Justice program to arrest the increasing social unrest in Central Luzon.Significant legislation enacted during Commonwealth Period: 1935 Constitution- The promotion of social justice to ensure the wellbeing and economic security of all people should be concern of the State.

Hukbalahap controlled whole areas of Central Luzon; landlords who supported the Japanese lost their lands to peasants while those who supported the Huks earned fixed rentals in favor of the tenants.Unfortunately, the end of war also signaled the end of gains acquired by the peasants.Upon the arrival of the Japanese in the Philippines in 1942, peasants and workers organizations grew strength. Many peasants took up arms and identified themselves with the anti Japanese group, the HUKBALAHAP (Hukbong Bayan Laban saHapon).Philippine RepublicThe New RepublicAfter the establishment of the Philippine Independence in 1946, the problems of land tenure remained. These became worst in certain areas. Thus the Congress of the Philippines revised the tenancy law.President Manuel Roxas (1946 - 1948) enacted the following laws: Republic Act No. 34 Established the 70 30 sharing arrangements and regulating share tenancy contracts.

Republic Act No.1400 (Land Reform Act of 1955) Created the Land Tenure Administration (LTA) which was responsible for the acquisition and distribution of large tenanted rice and corn lands over 200 hectares for individuals and 600 hectares for corporations.

Garcia (1957 - 1961)He continued the program of President Ramon Magsaysay. No new legislation passed.President DiosdadoMacapagal (1961 - 1965) enacted the following law: Republic Act No. 3844 of August 8, 1963 (Agricultural Land Reform Code) Abolished share tenancy, institutionalized leasehold, set retention limit at 75 hectares, invested rights of preemption and redemption for tenants farmers, provided for an administrative machinery for implementation, institutionalized a judicial system of agrarian cases, incorporated extension, marketing and supervised credit system of services of farmer beneficiaries.

The trainee took a lot of time to search for case folders improperly filed by some of the office staffs. High expectations from the supervising officers which added a little pressure to the training.B. Application Of Public Administration ConceptsThe Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration (BAPA) is a four-year course which provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in public management and instills the values of accountability, service and integrity.In four years of taking up the BAPA course, I learned in my PA 30 (Introduction to Public Administration) that PA is the action part of the government, and it is described as the development, implementation and study of branches of government policy, and the management of affairs of government at all levels. It also deals with the machinery and procedures of government activities, that PA is not only concerned with the process or processes of the government but also with the what-what is the subject matter. In her PA 65, HBO (Human Behavior in Organization), I learned about the five levels of analysis in organizational behavior which determines the behavior of individual within the organization, to the interpersonal relations, the small groups both formal and non-formal, inter-group relation and inter-organizational relations.These some concepts were very useful to men when I dealt/mingled with the different kinds of people especially professionals. It helped me easily cope with such situations because I already had the background or knowledge on what I will be going through. In my training, I applied my knowledge of those concepts for I was mostly assigned to the personnel movement section, record section and administrative section.

CHAPTER IIISUMMARY, CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATIONA. Summary and ConclusionOne of the factors that is helpful to the students in enriching and developing their knowledge is On-Job-Training. The new re-discovery and development of the student who will undergo such training maybe determined through the ability to accomplish work by following instruction and performing the duties and responsibilities diligently. The On-Job-Training of the trainee at the LEGAL Division, DAR Cauayan City, Isabela served as a challenge to her to learn and develop her knowledge to become a superb office worker someday. It also gave her the strength to face some trials that she might encounter in the future.Her On-The-Job Training was an experience that put her to face the actual work in a designated office. With the help and guide of her employers, she easily learned the processes of the disposition of agrarian justice. Lots of tasks were given to her for a particular work and assignments. Her On-Job-Training is one of her unforgettable moments/experiences in her life. During the training, she encountered a lot of problems regarding the computers that he had used but eventually she learned how to manage things with the help of her employers/supervisors.The trainee started her training at the Department of Agrarian Reform Legal Division on November 13, 2013 and completed the required 200 hours on December 19, 2013.B. RecommendationThe agency created a good service to their clients and gave the best training for the students. The trainee however respectfully recommends that the agency must discuss their respective rules/policies and regulation before the students start their training. The school must have the good coordination with some companies that offer an annual On The Job Training inside their company. The school should allocate more funds to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring of the student trainees.She further recommends that the students should conduct their On-the-Job Training in the offices/agencies that may suit to their courses so that they can develop their skills more effectively.
