Day 3- FTS

Day 3
Company Visit/s:
                                Philippines Long Distance Telecommunication and Telecom Training Institute
Today, I went to …
                From a very heavy traffic, we arrived at a very heavy company, the Philippines Long Distance Telecommunication. Travelling to Mandaluyong was really not smooth since we were captive by a heavy flow of vehicles which includes our bus. But I can say that it was all worth it! I swear since I’d loved our stay in this company. Aside from the learning it brought me, it made me realize some sort of serious imagination that preferably talks more about the future. Also, just a sneak peek of our stay here it also made us feel that sooner or later when we strive hard and labor long, we could be that someone who will also be sitting on that same area where we imagine where we could be. I so liked it and I will never forget the feeling as well as the dream.

What I learned?
                PLDT had already made Filipino communication centralized since 1959. Again they have different services offered such as banking solution which optimizes a network diagram. Well, as the very start of the orientation and of the tour, I can still connect it to our current subjects and it interests me so much. Aside from that they also make use of their manufacturing solutions so to transform voice mail to electronic mail. Their other fast track includes a report on account, and a reliable device used person tracker. During the discussion one of the students asks about their network monitoring and it is said that they have it in 24/7 basis.
                As we go through the orientation we had a short lecture more specifically in Networking, the OSI model and this is in the person of Mr. Edmund Mambojo. He reminds me of one faculty in USeP. Aside from the lectures he introduced to us the innovation of PLDT through the years. First, it follows the basics of telecommunication until reaching the Data Communication and PLDT Fixed Business today. Although they had planned it in the future but, Mr. Mambojo instilled in us that they too had somehow become the next generation network.
What I liked? 
                I liked it most when we had a tour for some part of the building. They let us enter their wide board room and from behind we saw their core programmer I guess that is also from the maintenance team. I so like the feeling of sitting on a couch thinking that in the mere future I could be that real person on that certain position.
What I didn’t like?
                Nothing.
Today, I went to..
                After our four hour tour in PLDT we run the highway until reaching the city of Valenzuela for a company visit to Telecom Training Institute. They had a wide area and are capable of producing and maintaining the kind of products and services that they had. It is very obvious that maybe most of the workers there are boys since the area is not so “office”.

What I learned…
                The company has a master station that offers for over seven hundred plus of users. They also have an Ultra High Frequency or UHF which can carry up to 30,000 km/s. Another one is Super High Frequency or SHF which can also carry up to 1,000,000 km/s. I also heard it right that when in use of multimode in can be utilized in a Local Area Network Connection while when in use of single mode it can be use in long distance. Other activities of the company includes Sampling, quartizing and coding. 

What I liked…
                What I like most in this company is that they never fall out of love with what they do. I can somehow feel they are enjoying things that they are doing. They never fall out of interest to what they do, (aside from the fact that they work and earning from this company), but also they are passionate and devoted to their work. As the instructor from the company gave us a short lecture, I can see it in him our electronics teacher.  They are both aged but is still energetic and vibrant when it talks about wires, fiber optics and the like.


 What I didn’t like…
                It’s just like the vicinity is that conducive for us and honestly most of us did could not listen very well to the lecture.
