 IV. ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN

i. CAMP ORIENTATION

We had left the TUP campus around six o'clock and track the way through
mount Makiling in Los Banos Laguna for our most awaited mobilization training. This
trip consummed more than two hours before arriving to the said training camp. From
there, we saw the tent were already been built and was lined according to the
number of MB's. My companion and I were amazed for we thought it was a bigger
tent to be accomodated, but our prediction have not made it. If we were going to
sleep on that particular tent, we would be looked like as if fishes inserted in a can
tightly.
Supposedly, all the trainees must form a line in front of the stage before to
occupy the tent, but because the busses were not simultaneously coming, we had
already occupied the tent, Hence, there was a mess from choosing it. We have
chosen the wrong tent which is not belong to our MB's but it was just a little mistakes
so we are not going to give a big deal on it, anyway we had fixed it at the end.

ii. OPENING PROGRAM

At last, all the trainees had arrived completely and the tent was fully occupied.
After a few minutes we were called to form a line in front of the stage for the opening
program, in which dictating us the activities we should perform for that day and for
the following day. It was composed of eight activities which were, nature's
appreciation, group formation, water survival training, team building, emergency
preparedness, obstacles, values formation, and first aid. While gathering us, there
were some students who had not made to join the line, as a result, they had given
punishment. They were urged to form a line on the stage instead on the ground, and
will do the chicken dance. Actually the facilitator want them to put in the state of
shame but that's not what happened, but rather it overwhelm all the trainees to
perform also the chicken dance.
 1. NATURES FAMILIARIZATION

This was our first activity for the first day of the training in which contains sub
activities divided into four bases. These are:

BASE 1: CHANTING COMPOSITION

In this base we were instructed to compose a yell or a chant in order to fill us

with vigor and to keep our senses in a presence. This should be sung everytime we
were going to enter a base. This was the yell:

KNOWLEDGEABLE IS COMING, COMING TO THE FOREST

THE CREATURES ARE COMING, WE HEARD THE SOUND OF SPECIES
HOO HOO, HAA HAA, TWIT TWIT,
GOOOOOOOOOH TRAINEES

BASE 2: SONG OR POEM WRITING

After completing the base one we proceeded to this base, in which we have to
compose again. But this time its quite different from the later base. Here, were going
to compose a song or a poem containing a minimum of five lines that deals with the
mother nature, so its a little bit harder than the yell composition and in fact we used a
lot of time and effort just to finish this base. Here was our composition, it is in tagalog
language:

SA AKING LUPANG BAYANG SINILANGAN

ISANG LIPI, ISANG LAHI NA DAPAT PAGKA-INGAT INGATAN
TULAD NA RIN NG ATING KINALALAGYAN NA ISANG KABUNDUKAN
NA NGAYON AY ISA NG KAPATAGAN
MAKILING, ISANG BUNDOK NA BIYAYA NG KALIKASAN
NA BIGAY NG DIYOS NA DI DAPAT PABAYAAN

BASE 3: NATURE SKETCHING

 Here, our of being an artist was being challenge because we are instructed to
sketch a nara tree and chose from its part its best asset for our own perception.
Luckily, we had of the members whos got a great hands in terms of this matter. But
this time, this drawing I indicated here was made by me. Here it is:

BASE 4: DRAWING AN ART

 This was the last base for the first activity, wherein we have to express our
feeling about nature through drawing, then explaining what we have drawn. As you
can see here, we illustrated a boy planting a new plant, which implies that
reforestration is needed to reduce the lose of trees due to illegal activities and to
prevent disasters to happen like floods, rock fall, landslide etc.

2. OBSTACLE

Our next activity was the obstacle challenge. But before proceeding to this
activity we took rest first to regenerate energy. Minutes later, we were gathered for
the activity to be conducted in the obstacle area. Twin tunnel was our first obstacle
challenge. We took a long time here because of the jumbled queue and the tunnel
was quite small thats why we were performing it one by one.

2.1. TWIN TUNNEL

In this obstacle we were going to pass through a skinny and slippery tunnel
via creeping, fortunately it wasn't hard thing to do but it makes you untidy. Aside from
that, we got a priceless unforgettable and indespensible experience. But these did
not end like that because we have four more obstacles to overcome.

2.2. ISLAND HOPPING

 After finishing the twin tunnel, we proceeded to this activty in which we were
going to hop on the cylindrical shape concrete stabled on the ground. It was easy as
a piece of pie that I haven't used even a single of my energy.

2.3.

This activity was quite the same as the twin tunnel, only the difference was
this was made of several ropes ensembled as a hole. We pass through also here,
and this causes a lot of trouble to our shirts. In this activity, I found it difficult to do
because of my physical fitness. I have a wide shoulder and a long leg which keeps
impeding me to pass through this obstacle but then I took it as a challenge so i had
made it to the last.

2.4. HANGING TIRE

After completing the latest activity we went to the next obstacle, the hanging
tire. This time my weakness on that activity was my strength in here. It was my
advantage to perform this obstacle for I have a long reach and I can have a big pace
on each of the hanging tire. Unfortunately to those who had great weights and short
reach that could hardly made it especially to my co-trainee Gawen. You can see it in
the pictorials on the other page.

2.5. SPIDER WEB

After we finish the hanging tire we proceeded here that was called the “spider
web” for it was composed of ropes ensembled as a spider web. The mechanism was
to climb and get pass to this obstacle that was built seven foot high. A little scary
right?. But it did not intense me even a single muscle. It wasn't hard thing to do so we
made it getting pass through here. Thereafter, we walk down on a muddy soil using
the provided rope for the next activity stated in the preceeding paragraph.

2.6. TIRE TUNNEL

This was the last obstacle we performed on the obstacle area that was composed
of tires aligned to create a tunnel and almost four meters in lenght. Its diameter was
more or less one foot and a half that was not enough to suit to my

wide shoulder, thus I did not perform that obstacle although I wanted it to experience.
After this activity we moved out to find for the exit which ended up on the road side.
There we took some rest first before proceeding to the next activity. We were so
excited because the next activity was the water survival for we were so dirty on that
time so I think it was our chance to take a bath.

WATER SURVIVAL

To the camp, after preparing our necesarry utilities for swimming we walk to the
venue to where we are performing the last activity for the first day. It was a long
distance from the camp to the water survival area that took almost 20 minutes walk.
When we got there we were ask to form a line to brief us the do's and dont's when
performing the activity to prevent accidents and also about the subactivities that we
were going to perform.
After that we proceeded to do the first activity in which we were tought the
basics on how to swim that was one of the important matter to the water survival. We
took a long time here that the twilight have already came, as a result the facilitator
had decided to let us just swim and have fun thats why we couldn't be able to
perform the next subactivity. After then we took our shower then went to the camp to
rest, unfotunately the heavy rains took place when we were walking back to the
camp then I realized that our things would suffer to wet because the tent was quite
small, so suddenly I ran fast as I could with one of my groupmates to secure our
bags. After a long ran, luckily we found our things weren't wet already. It was so sad
that the rain disrupted everything and ruined our excitement.
Due to this condition we were evacuated to the cottage, wherein it was much
comfortable to rest than to the tent. But we were unfortunate for we ran out of cottage
to be occupied thats why we stayed on the stage for the rest of the night.

NIGHT VIGIL

When the rain stopped all the trainees were gathered in front of the stage for
the night vigil. We prayed first then started the opening with a group of dancers which
implying about nature apreciation. After that we were given a candle to lit up then we
do as we were instructed, consequently the lights were turned off then the speaker
started to tell us story about the mother and child relationship featuring the profound
sadness of the mother because she felt that her child doesn't care for her anymore.
The story structed deep down to my heart that I felt every words the speaker leap,
indeed I cried. The vigil was finished around 11:30 then, after that its time to sleep for
the rest of the night.

AN UNEXPECTED EVENT
 In the midst of the night I had been awaken because someone was shouting,
and thus, I had known that it had been possesed by spirit. It was really a horrible
incidents for that night even my hair stood up. Luckily, few only had witnessed that.
As a result, we attributed a prayer for that terrifying event. After the prayer the tense
had been lowered and we were all in calm state and thats the time to sleep again.

DAY 2

I woke up early and some of my companion at five o'clock. We went first to the
comfort room to regulate our stomach then after, we had our breakfast. While
walking to bought for hot water I saw that there were group of trainees slept on the
ground with the “trapal” on their back that serves as their bed. I wonder if they could
slept on there well. Their foot were extending touching those tiny rocks, it's so cold.
But maybe because of their tiredeness that they could bear it there.
After taking up our breakfast we stoodby at the moment to wait for the trainees
to be awaken. Supposedly we have to woke up as early as five o'clock but It was
around seven o'clock when they were awaken, I guess they had their sleep very well
due to the incident last night.
When they were all awaken we had to perform again the last four activity for that
day. We hadn't had any idea that there should be a program to be conducted first for
the briefing again for the activities to be undertaken. We decided to wait for our
groupmates to the water survival area so we didn't heard of the program advisory but
I think it was just the same as to the yesterday program.

WATER SURVIVAL CONTINUATION

After the program all of the trainees that would be performing the water survival
activity proceeded to the area. We were going to perform again this activity because
we had not finish it yet that day. So after a long wait, finally they've come and we
were about to perform the unfinished subactivity, in which demonstrating us the
method of making an improvized floater using our shirts and jagging pants.
Firstly, we had been taught how to create an improvized floater using
our shirt by covering our mouth extending upto the back of head under
the ears and blowing air onto it and thus a floater had been created. The
only thing that should be prevented was not to allow the air to pass out
the floater. Secondly, the jagging pants. Knotting its edge tightly then
jumping within the water to accumulate pressure to make floater. Then in
order to maintain its size we need to splash water onto it. After completing
the alternatives of salvavida making we proceeded to the next activity,
wherein we were taught how to use a life jacket and the do's and dont's to avoid
accidents instead of life saving. That was the time I knew that a simple shirt could
save lives. Then, after completing those activities we gone to the camp already to
take a bath because the shower in there weren't working that time.
 TEAM BUILDING

After taking a bath we wait first for the group to be completed, then we
proceeded to the preceeding activity which was the team building. The first sub
activity was:

* THREADING THE NEEDLE

We were separated in a group of two. The mechanism was inserting a rope

that serves as a thread inside our shirt which we were the needle then finishing it
upto the last member of the group. The winner will be declared if among us
completed it first but the rope was quite short in length thats why the three of us
hadn't been reached so we had to perform an activity which was quite different from
threading the needle, which was we had to hid the rope within our shirts or any of
things we wear. We should have to hid it that the observer couldn't see it anymore.
Luckily, we did it very well so we had the permission to enter the next subactivity.
The next was walking using a long wood that was ensembled as a slipper
with a built-in rope that can accommodate a capacity of four. In order to win we need
to reach the finish line and getting two wins from the matches that consists of three
sets.
The first round was almost a defeat on us, because the opposing
team had advanced fastly. But in the last we had left them over and
ended up to win. In the second round, we knew already the mechanics and
the techniques thats why we defeated them again for the second time. So
it was surely a win to us for we won two matches. We had lots of fun here
that enticed us to request for a rematch. This time the matches was
between girls to girls and boys to boys.
In the girls round, our team won because they implemented a right cooperation.
Then after, its time for us to play. It was a close round that they were just one feet
away from us but then again we took the win.

*PATRIOTISM

After that great enjoyment we proceeded to the last subactivity in which we

were ask to make a song which conveying a message about patriotism to the nation.
I couldnt indicate the copy here because I lost it.

After we complete the composition we took our lunch first before to perform
the activity for it was already eleven thirty. Thereafter, we took time for digestion then
automatically proceeded to the volunteer to sung the song we made. After that we
were all done for that time and we're upto the next activity which was the emergency
preparedness.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

They had taught us here the right ways we should do in times of calamity or
disaster, from preparing the usefull prior things and foods to preparing the first aid kit.
After the discussion we gone to the next topic the “first aid”.

FIRST AID

Here we had been taught about the procedure of threating an injured or

unconscious person and on how to give them a suitable first aid. They first taught us
how to know if the unconscious person had a broken bones. Then the
implementations of the necessary procedure of carrying the patient if they hadn't had
any injured part, but if they do, they had taught us also the methods of transfering
the patient to the stretcher. After this, we proceeded to the next discusion with
different facilitator which taught us the three classification of fire , its implication and
the appropriate solution on extinguishing it. We had taught also the proper way of
using a fire extinguisher the methods and which among the type of the fire it should
be used.
After completing all the activities we were gathered in front of the stage for
the closing ceremony, in which singing the national anthem, conducting a prayer and
a closing remarks. After that we were called by MB's to occupy the busses. We had
consumed a lot of time because some of the trainees were hardly cooperating thats
why one of the volunteer angrily shouted at them, then thats the time they got involve
in line. Thereafter were on to got on the bus then drive away from makiling to TUP.
What a beautiful unforgetable experience ever came to me. Atlast I'm home after a
long journey.

V. LESSONS LEARNED AND VALUES DEVELOPED

  TEAMWORK AND COOPERATION IS AN IMPORTANT SPICES TO A
NATION TO ACHIEVED PROSPERITY.
 LEARN TO CONSERVE NATURE BEFORE IT RUNS OUT.
 STRONG FAITH IN GOD.
 ANTICIPATION TO WHAT WOULD BE GOING TO HAPPEN.

VI. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

1. SCARCITY OF COMFORT ROOMS

2. HEAVY RAINS AT THE TWILIGHT THAT CAUSES OUR TENT TO BE
RUINED.

VII. SUGGESTIONS

I think, so far the mobilization training was a job well done so I dont think I
have suggestions but if I would have maybe, about the tent, to make it more bigger
and better which can accommodate ten persons without inconvenience. Thats all.
