Introduction
Internship or on the job training is one way by which we students are given an
opportunity to apply the theories and computations that
we have learned from school. It also helps us obtain applicable knowledge and skills by
performing in actual work setting.
For us students, an OJT or internship program provides opportunities
to go through the actual methodologies of a specific job
using the real tools, equipments, and documents. In effect, theworkplace becomes a
development venue for us student trainee to learn more about our chosen field and
practice what we have learn from academy.
On the other hand, a valuable OJT program also profits thecompanies who accept train
ees. First, OJT or intern provides extra manpower for a less significant labor cost than a
regular employee. Employers can use this internship strategy as method in recruiting
employees. Since the trainer or supervisor can follow the trainees progress, he can
gauge based on performance, behavior and attitude if the trainee will make good recruit
after the completion of his internship. We trainees can bring fresh ideas into the
organization. Given the opportunity to converse our minds freely and without fear, we
may be able to contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or
researchand eventually help improve the organizations productivity.
Accepting on-the-job trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the trainees but
also to the companies that provide opportunities for this type of learning. There is
wisdom in the front lines. Such training can be investment that we will be valuable to the
company later on. This is also why we trainees should take our internship seriously as it
can become a powerful tool and possibly even a source of recommendation when they
take that big lift from being students to career professionals.







COMPANY PROFILE
History
Atlanta-based Mirant Corp. was among the first independent power producers to
respond to the Philippines' appeal for investment in its electricity sector in the late 1980s.
As a result, the company now has stakes in eight plants there with a total capacity of
2,288 MW, or 20% of the country's total. Worldwide, Mirantwhich filed for bankruptcy
protection under Chapter 11 in July 2003owns or controls more than 22,000 MW in
North America, Caribbean nations, and the Philippines.
In the early 1990s, the economy of the Philippines was trying to shift into high
gear, but the lack of new capacity development and an aging national grid were holding
it back. The World Bank suggested that the national government attract inward
investment by approving build-own-operate (BOO) and build-own-transfer (BOT)
schemes for power project development. The latter got traction, and the rest is history.
The Pagbilao Power Plant represents the first fruit of the new structure. In August
1992, Mirant Philippines Corp. signed a memorandum of understanding with the
Philippines' National Power Corp. (NPC) and other government agencies to build a two-
unit, 700-MW coal-fired power station on Isla Grande (in the municipality of Pagbilao,
Quezon province, about 100 miles south of Manila), operate the plant for 29 years, and
then turn it over to NPC. At the same time, Mirant also signed an energy conservation
agreement (ECA) that made NPCthe state-owned utilityresponsible for acquiring
the 500 acres of land on which the plant would sit, securing its fuel supply, and building
the transmission facilities needed to move the plant's output off the island and onto the
grid of Luzon, the Philippines' main island.
Over the next six months, Mirant prepared the plant's operating and
environmental permit applications and submitted them for approval. In February 1993,
the company got the green light to begin building Pagbilao. An army of contractors
descended on the site and took three years to finish the plant. One of Pagbilao's two
350-MW units was synchronized to the grid in March 1996 and went commercial three
months later. The second unit was synchronized in May 1996 and went commercial in
August of the same year. Since the summer of 1996, the Pagbilao plant has been
among the largest and lowest-cost generating stations in the Philippines. (Courtesy of:

Power Generation
Colliers (coal ship) delivers coal to the plant approximately thrice a month with an
average capacity of 65,000 metric tons. The bulk of the plants water supply comes from
the Reverse Osmosis Plant (4,000 cubic meter per day output) inside the plant complex
while the back-up water supply comes from the nearby Locohin River.

Water at the boiler absorbs heat from the burning pulverized coal and converts
feedwater into superheated steam. Superheated steam is then fed into the turbine
where the thermal energy in the steam is converted into rotational mechanical energy.
The generator, being directly coupled with the turbine, converts the rotational
mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The power plant is capable of producing a maximum of 16.8 million kilowatt hours of
electricity daily or over 6 billion kWh annually. The electricity generated is connected to
the Luzon Grid via the 230-kV transmission line and the NPC sub-station in Tayabas,
Quezon.

ON THE JOB TRAINING EXPERIENCES
IKAW NA BAHALA
GUMAMIT KA NG 3RD PERSON POV (Example: The trainee and his coworkers
uhhhm skills were tested by wiring chorva)
I SUGGEST HATIIN MO SA APAT NA LINGGO
ILAGAY MO YUNG OBSERVATIONS MO SA LOOB SA LABAS, INTERACTION MO
WITH COWORKERS(Jillian and Jane), PARTICIPATION MO,
CHALLENGES(Acrophobia), PROBLEMS MET (Yung nafrustrate ka something)
ILAGAY MO LAHAT NG NANGYARI INUTOS SAYO BASTA ALAM MO NA
I LOVE YOU HUBBY

CONCLUSION
Working in Pagbilao Power Plant is a really great opportunity...
This training exposed the trainee to the real environment of a certain corporation. In
furtherance, OJT will be a bridge to enhance his skills in communication and technical activities
that makes it a plus point the sooner he landed a job and help ease the culture shock while
dealing with different specialized people of their expertise.
