Field Trip Overview
As part of the curriculum of the
BSCS and BSIT in the Institute of Computing, the 3rd year standing
students are required to enroll in the subject Field Trip and Seminars. It is
composed of three different models namely Model A, Model B, and Model C. And
we, the third batch of the Field Trip and Seminars chose Model A with 1 Major
Field Trip outside Mindanao, 1 Minor Field Trip within Mindanao and 2hrs
Interpersonal Skills. The major fieldtrip was five days stay in Manila, while
the minor fieldtrip was held in Davao City.
The Public Safety and Security
Command Center located at Sandawa, Matina was the government institute that we
visited for our minor fieldtrip. There, they discussed how their office works
as a government institute. Since Davao City has plans on becoming a smarter
city, the PSSCC started using technologies such as CCTV cameras. Apparently,
they have more technologies but we were just limited to some information
regarding the CCTV cameras traffic lights since some information are
confidential.
The CCTV cameras in PSSCC are used
to monitor the drivers who abide the laws. Through these cameras, they could
zoom in 36 times so that they could record the plate number and the violations,
and send the information to the LTO. They could also monitor whenever traffic
accidents occur or if crimes are happening. However, PSSCC are only the eyes so
they have to connect to the government institutes such as 911, or the police to
take actions in some circumstances. And as a proof that the cameras are indeed
useful, they showed us videos which they caught in the act.
The traffic lights were also
controlled by the PSCC and they briefly explained to us how important the
traffic light is. Another is, the people who needs to cross the pedestrian lane
should also push the button on the traffic light’s post or just wait for the
lights to indicate that it is safe to walk. They also explained that accidents
often occur to those who do not follow the simple rules or even just the
traffic lights.
Aside from those technologies, their
head officer mentioned to us that Davao City is planning to be a Smarter City
and use the advantage of technology to further enhance the capabilities. They
are also collaborating with the IBM to integrate the operations into a single
system. With all of this, I must say that Davao City is totally changing for a
better future.
I am also glad that we got the
chance to know the security operations of our city, not to mention, they warmly
welcomed us.
Appendix
Recommendation
The minor fieldtrip is held
within Mindanao, and for our batch, we had it at PSSCC here in Davao City.
Somehow, finding company here in Mindanao especially in Davao is kind of hard
since we don’t have several ICT companies. But still, it’s a good thing that we
found an institute in Davao which accepted us. Truth to be told, when the
officers had a meeting, we thought of different companies in Mindanao and we
came up with big companies. But in the end, we ended up in PSSCC but I’m not
saying that it was bad and such. Actually I enjoyed the minor fieldtrip and we
also learned something new and even astonished, it’s just that, I think there
are still better companies out there.
So for the incoming
officers, though the PSSCC is a good place to visit, please also consider other
companies in Davao. Or if possible, look for other big companies outside Davao
City. It is always better to explore and learn new ideas from other
environment. However, if you also wanted to know the technologies used in
security operations in Davao, then I must say the PSSCC is the perfect place.
Another is that, unlike
in major field trip, the minor field trip only takes one day so for the
students, it would be much better to make the most of it. Make the most of it in
a way that, they should listen well, take some notes and take tons of pictures.
There would be no other day so they’ll be making regrets if they failed to do
so.
Lastly, even if it is
just a minor field trip, they should enjoy the moments spent. After all, it is
still a field trip.
