2. INTRODUCTION
• On The Job Training is one way by which the student are given an
opportunity to apply the theories, and application they have learned
from school. It also helps them to obtain applicable knowledge, and
skills by performing in actual work setting. OJT provides
opportunity for the student to go through the actual methodologies of
a specific job using a real tools, equipment, and documents. In
effect, the workplace becomes a development venue for student
trainees to learn more about their chosen field, and practice what
they have learned from college.

3. COURSE ORIENTATION
• It was on the 27th day of June, 2022 when OJT started with
orientation by For. Julius Allam Rae, who was the assigned field
practice coordinator for this year. He oriented the trainees about the
activities that the practitioners will do or expect to do for 5 weeks
together with the faculty of the department of forestry, and
shared their knowledge about this OJT. Trainees attended and
learned about the course requirements, instructions, and policies to
be observed.

4. COURSE ORIENTATION
• During the orientation, the faculty prepared a program in preparation
for the deployment of the trainees in their assigned areas. The first
day of activities started with a prayer led by Ms. Guia Pearl Sagun,
the national anthem led by Mr. Mark Angelo Orcino, and the TAU
Hymn led by Ms. Romina Dollete, followed by the introduction of
the members of the faculty of forestry, and then the introduction of
every student that was inside the room led by For. Maidas Anson and
For. Minda Mondiguing. In the afternoon session, there were a few
topics that were presented, such as seed collection by For. Minda
Mondiguing, seedling propagation by For. Marjie Esteban, and
clonal preparation discussed by For. Julius Rae Allam.

5. COURSE ORIENTATION
• On the second day of orientation (June 28, 2022), the morning
session began with a prayer led by Ms. Guia Pearl Sagun, followed
by a discussion of Biodiversity Assessment led by For. Mark
Anthony Bagsit; Bamboo Propagation, discussed by For. Christian
Llait; and Forest Biometry by For. Milleate Omaney. The topics for
the afternoon were Forest Surveying, discussed by For. Maidas
Anson; Lastly, the standard format for the narrative report was also
presented to the practitioners.

6. Week 1: E-BAMBOO Production
• Profile of the host training institution:
• Engineering Bamboo, a production of bamboo product such as plaques, bamboo furnitures, phone
stand, key chains, miniature, frames, etc. They also produce bamboo product per customer request
they have also made a speaker made of bamboo. This was establish and known in the year 2019, and
their goal now is to be recognized in national.

7. Activities

9. Week 2: CLONAL NURSERY
PRODUCTION PROJECT
• Profile of the host training institution:
• Due to rapid deforestation and depletion of rapid stocks, experts, environmentalist exerted efforts and
developed other methods on mass propagation and production of novel fruit and forest trees which are
highly yielding, resistant to pest and disease.The goal of this kind of propagation is to reproduce
progeny plants that is identical in genotype to a single source crop or identical to its mother tree and
that the process is called cloning. Tarlac Agricultural University have establish its own clonal nursery
for the mass production of forest trees and other species that available min the clonal.

10. Training experiences
• Weeding/Cleaning
• Mrs. Villa Mangaron, the person in charge of the clonal nursery, met the group on the first day for a
briefing and tour in the facility. Eventually, they started week 2 of their OJT by weeding the seedlings
on the plant box in the nursery. Accordingly, weeding is an important control method in propagation;
the removal of unwanted plants since these compete with the seedlings for space, water, and also for
nutrients. This method is being done most effectively in the early stages of the trees.

11. Weeding/Cleaning

12. Training experiences
• Inventory
• They also did an inventory of available seedlings in the clonal
nursery. Presented in the table below is the result herein, to with:
Seedlings No. Of Survival Mortality Total
Java plum 428 100 528
Neem tree 157 51 208
Tamarind 25 0 25
Mango 22 0 22
Guava 27 0 27
Mahogany 100 0 100
Molave 526 0 (newly planted) 526
Bignay 63 0 63
Total 1,308 151 1,499

13. Inventory

14. Potting
• For this activity, they have mixed the soil with a rice hull. Potting mix is important to a plant
since it retains moisture and nutrients around the plant’s roots. They have had potted a total of
507 soil mixtures in the potting nursery.

15. Seed sowing
• Sown around 89 unidentified seeds that were collected in Calao
during the plant assessment conducted by For. Allam. After planting,
watering was also conducted.

16. Transplanting
• The practitioner were able to transplant a total of 120 cuttings of Molave ( Vitex parviflora ) with the
assistance of Ma’am Villa. She was also the one who guided the practitioner, especially in planting a
cutting, as planting a cutting or cloning is sensitive.

17. Clonal Propagation
• Clonal propagation refers to the process of asexual reproduction by multiplication of genetically
identical copies of an individual plant. With the guidance of Mrs. Villa, the team first gathered
specimens from the mother trees of Bignai, Ipil, Philippine Teak, Supa, and Yakal in the vicinity of the
clonal nursery. They collected leaves and young shoots were then soaked in ANAA solution for 30
minutes and also treated with anti-fungus for enhancement of root development and plant growth
before planting the specimens in the clonal chamber.

18. Week 3 & 5: TAU-Calao Forest Reserve
• Profile Of The Host Training Institution
• Calao Forest Reserve was said to be a habitat of Calao birds, which is why it was called calao.
• On June 11, 1978, the Calao forest reserve was transferred to the Tarlac College of Agriculture to
support the educational institution to attain national development with a view to developing scientific,
technological, and vocational efficiency. Under this is PD 609, which provides for the creation of a
college of veterinary medicine and a college of inland fishing to be among the constituent colleges of
the Tarlac College of Agriculture. It is necessary for the students of Tarlac College of Agriculture to
have a wide laboratory area for their field of practice and for the establishment of projects which
promote forest conservation and development supportive of agriculture in the restoration of
watersheds, the prevention of floods and droughts, and the maintenance of ecological balance within
the natural environment.

19. Training Experiences
• Cleaning
• the team started our first day in Calao. Their first activity is to clean, together with their fellow
practitioners, the group 6. They cleaned the place because, as mentioned above, it is important to clean
the surroundings to avoid unforeseen hazards.Swept the leaves and segregated the biodegradable from
non-biodegradable. The cleaning materials they used are wheel barrow, garden rake, broom and a
dustpan.

20. Hole Digging
• The practitioners conducted strip brushing and hole digging activities (about 7 inches wide and 8
inches deep) in preparation for the bamboo planting activity in celebration of Philippine Environment
Month 2022.

21. Bamboo Planting
• The group, together with the faculty of forestry led by For. Milleatte P. Omaney, the Forestry
Department Chair and selected officers of the Forestry Student Organization (FSO), planted different
varieties of bamboo propagules.

22. Bamboo Planting
• In all, they have planted 6 pieces of every species of bamboo, such as Laak, Giant, Yellow Bamboo,
Anus, Australian Bamboo, and Black Bamboo. The group planted a total of 42 bamboo together with
the FSO and group 6.

On the 13th day of July, 2022, the team continued to plant bamboo propagules as follows:

23. Maintenance of Bamboo Nursery
• Kuya Silver and his dad demonstrated how to make a roof for the shed for the bamboo nursery using
napier grass. After that, the team was in charge of the repair of the nursery shed.

24. Landscaping
• Under the supervision of For. Maidas Anson, the team was able to landscape the frontage of the
Bamboo Palace using bamboo and other recycled materials. The outcome of the activity is shown in
the figures below:

25. Bamboo Inventory
• Bamboo inventory was conducted using the format provided by For. Minda Mondiguing. The small
and large diameter of the bamboo clump and the number of harvestable, young and shoots in a
clump are recorded in the said form using tree caliper.

26. Week 4: BAMBUSETUM Project
• Profile Of The Host Training Institution
• Bambusetum is a place that has a collection of bamboo species. Tarlac Agricultural University
established its own bambusetum in the year 2013. The objectives of the bambusetum are to provide
bamboo for production and for propagation. Currently, a collection of around 42 bamboo species is
present in the said bambusetum, out of 62 species that have been recorded in the Philippines.

27. Training Experiences
• Breifing and orientation were given by the Project-in-Charge, For. Christian Llait, related to
bambusetum. Then, the team were tasked with designing and landscaping the front area of the
bambusetum and cleaning up the surroundings.

28. Training experiences
• The shocking and sorting was conducted on the bamboo propagules
present in the nursery under the supervision of Asso. Prof. Danilo P.
Corpuz, the bamboo expert of the University.
