Francisco, Leslie Anne D.

March 15, 2011 IE125-0/C1 Borres IE-EMG Plant Visit 2011 There are so many things God had created. He created caves, springs, green fields, animals, trees and many more. And last March 4, 2011, we had an outbound trip to see these wonderful creations. We went to Philippine Spring Water Resources Inc. (Natures Spring) and Biak na Bato which are both located in Bulacan. I am very satisfied for what I have seen, learned and experienced in this trip. I have learned how PSWRI processed the Natures Spring mineral water Ive been drinking for so long. I knew that it is really safe to drink because I have seen that they are very careful and very clean in processing it. I am also amazed on how they make their plastic bottles. I cant imagine that those bottles came from preform that comes from the resins. What I like most in this trip is the teambuilding, trekking and caving we made in Biak na Bato. I enjoyed in the games our tour guides had prepared for us. Everyone was participating that time. Even though we dont know each other, we learned to cooperate and listened to what our leaders had said. I also learned that it was possible to drop eggs without breaking them. Unfortunately, our group wasnt able to do it. But what is important is that we learned to show our skills in the different challenges and we learned to follow the suggestions of our groupmates as well to cooperate with them. Aside from the games we played, I really enjoyed a lot when we went inside the caves especially the one with zero visibility. When Kuya Robby, our tour guide, asked us to turn off our flashlights and keep quiet for some minutes, all of us were shocked because the cave was really dark and very quiet. I am amazed to the people who discovered these caves. They were able to find an exit even though it is dark. I am also surprised that the temperature inside the cave is low. I never know that caves have cold temperatures. In every caves we went through, we offered prayers and with it, I learned to respect these caves of ancient times. In addition to this, I also enjoyed in the cave where we got wet. We went through it by stepping on the big stones surrounding the cave. But I got afraid when Kuya Ryan, our other tour guide, told us that beyond those big rocks, the water is already Prof. Rhea

deep that people will sink. But I still enjoyed it especially when the boys of our group played and splashed water to us. I learned to be patient when I knew that we were about to walk in kilometres. I also learned to be friendly because while walking, I was able to talk to the younger batch in our group. All I can say now is that this plant visit is the happiest plant visit ever. I learned more and I enjoyed more than the previous ones. And even though its my second time in Biak na Bato, its as if its my first time because I never enjoyed it that way when we went there in my childhood days. I am thanking God for this event.
