Re: Report on visit to Holy Gardens Pangasinan December 1 and2

Tall grass because 2 lang ang GT.

Tag ulan so mabilis tumaas ang damo. Ang 3has na site ay kayang gamasan ng isang tao in 8 days. Within 3 days kung maulan, ang damo sa ginamasan ng day1 ay mataas na (1 week since last naputulan). Kahit may gas yun at isa lang ang naggagamas at may araw na hindi nakakagamas, natural na dadawag ang damo. I have been telling this to people since February. Two people cannot maintain the site at san carlos. It is physically impossible to do that. We also need to stop giving feedback sa sbu na walang pera o san kukuha ng pera pambudget sa mga nirerequest na tao o gamit.

 Community service for site maintenance does not, has not and will never work.

Mukha lang effective ang community service dahil sipag sipagan ang plot caretakers pag bumibisita ang taga head office.

1.  Pre visit while on the bus OTW

    1.  Ms. Rosanna promised to call But did not.  Busy daw with customers but 

        the 0 sales and low collection belie/disagree with her excuse

    2.  Discussed with Sharifa, preparation for the seminar not well understood or does not know how.   Ms. Sharifa could strive more to execute simple things like conducting  a seminar/onboarding

   3   THE GETTING TO KNOW YOU  session revealed a depth of skills and qualification but were not being displayed or practiced by the individuals.  What is needed to be done.  For example Sharifa worked abroad, in Syria, and even in a cruise ship.   That means she met international standards.  But what are the standards being unmet here in the Philippines?

Orientation

   Arrived at 7:00.  Ms. Rosanna came late

   Topics for the day were covered.    Supposed OJT for Aubrey in pm (today

   I discovered that the checklist was not even known by the trainee

    Stayed only only days 1 and 2.  The hotel cost P1,300 (net of SC discount) and had only P5,000 pocket money and with the food and expensive tricycle, it was running out fast

   Decided  to do GMeet  for the rest of the on boarding

SBU

   1  Tall grasses  the old excuse again of no gas.  Grofe could facilitate with 

       PCF or revolving fund

   2.  Trashes all around  -  This post even picked up the trash for Sharifa and placed

         for the plenary to see

   3.  CR  -  clean more, repair the broken tiles, fix the flush toilets, and place deodorants -  ambupur, AC Johnson (plaisir

   4.  Vehicle TPM - did not read the post on TPM, improper or no logbooks

A LONGER STAY IS NEEDED FOR SHARIFA OR TO HELP HER WITH  A MORE EXPERIENCED OFFICER

In compliance with procedures in travel

A REPORT IS NEEDED FOR EVERY TRAVEL.  We must make sure the trips (which are expensive) PRODUCE RESULTS.  iT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WITH OTHER TRAVELERS
