May 15, 2017, is the first day of my immersion. I proceed directly to the IT division where the head is one of my mentor in this immersion course. During this day, they are busy re-installing their system in different office because they are transferred temporarily to another office. I have learned that because of the e-Governance program, they are implementing, a new section was created. The IT section is now composed of two section, the IT hardware infrastructure section and the Information System section. They are all under the  Provincial Administrators Office. I was advised to come back the next day.

The next day, I was given a brief orientation about their current setup. The two sections of IT division will now work under the special project called e-Governance. The program executive officer is the governor of the province; program manager is the provincial administrator. This program was created to strengthen their operations with the used of information technology. I was told initially that my task maybe to conduct research on their implementation of HRIS system. I was also invited to attend to their systems users training and evaluation on e-Governance program on May 18-19, 2017 at Peñaplata, Island Garden of Samal, Davao del Norte.
