My Observations
Barangay Caridad is a well-managed and well-occupied barangay. It’s not so far
and not so near from the town proper. It is run by a very energetic, handsome and
committed captain, Mr. Jesselton Dico. Since it is just a barangay, some of the facilities
are not present but all the essential and useful facilities for the community are present.
Caridad is an agricultural land where the basic agriculture-relevant resources are present.
The traditional and updated means of transportation are also present. I believe there are
more than one development program intended for the said barangay. It is properly and
effectively run the current barangay captain since the economy is stable; the moment you
want to have fun, you can find it; the moment you like to go somewhere else, just a blink
of an eye you find yourself at the place you want to go; etc.

My Reflections
Barangay Caridad
The School’s Community
6. This is the barangay hall of Barangay Caridad, Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur. It
is where all the meetings are being conducted from time to time. The development
programs are also usually first talked here. Some of the activities are also being held here.
Thus, it is very purposeful and convenient. All the members of the community are welcome
every time they visit. The personnel are hospitable and warm-welcoming.
School-Community Collaboration
View of a Teacher
A teacher shall make himself available anywhere and anytime needed by the
community in order to build harmonious correspondence with the community. A teacher
should actively participate in community movement for the purpose of moral, social,
educational, economic and civil betterment for both school and community. In reverse, the
community shall extend services to the school for utmost progress. There should be a give
and take process. Meaning, the school gives and the community takes something, and the
community gives and the school takes something. Both need each other. Everybody must
take part in the process so as to see clearer tomorrow.
1. Which resources that you have identified are present in the community? Can these
be utilized in your teaching? How?
The resources that I have identified which are present in the community and could
be utilized in the teaching-learning process are the pools, courts, book, instruments
and realia. Pool could be used in my swimming class. Courts could be used if I let
them play ball games as part of physical education. Musical instruments are of great
use if ever school’s instruments are inadequate or lacking. Realia could be useful if
something which I’d like to use for better understanding a concept.

My Future Application
9. 1. When I become a teacher, I should see to it
that the community will actively involve
themselves every time the school conducts
activities so as to strengthen school-
community relations.
2. When I become a teacher, I should extend
services willingly to the community keeping in
mind that as teacher, it is not just my sole
responsibility to teach in school but in
community as well.
3. When I become a teacher, I should make
use of the community resources effectively
and wisely so as to support my teachings.
