As many of you already asked me and were curious...
I was a regular student on my first year to third year in College and I was supposed to have my internship last summer. I applied at the Department of Foreign Affairs and I was lucky enough to be accepted. The office kept on contacting me but I wasn't able to go since my brother got sick and he was diagnosed with Acute Renal Injury. On my fourth year, I became an irregular student for under loading my subjects because I was the one who took care of my brother in the hospital for almost 6 months. It's hard for me to face the reality for what has happened.
Last January, I thought of my internship and started to prepare my forms and resumes. And I started to apply in different government organizations and institutions. I was thinking whether I should apply in DFA again since I really wanted to work as an intern there and the organization will offer lessons/learnings about Diplomacy, which is related to my course, International Studies. Considering DFA is far from my home and my parents will be worried if I commute everyday because I easily get dizzy and no driver is available to bring me and fetch me, so I decided to forego working in DFA. On the other hand, I have several choices where I would spend my summer internship such as in the Department of National Defense, Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process, Malacanan, and Philippine Center on Transnational Crimes.
After doing and defending our thesis proposal last 28 March 2014 entitled "The ASEAN as a Cooperative Security Organization in Combating Illegal Drug Trafficking", I have decided to apply and spend my summer internship in Philippine Center on Transnational Crimes, thinking that the office can also offer necessary information and data for our thesis and would provide learnings on coordination and cooperation among ASEAN member countries in combating transnational crime. I prepared all the requirements needed and was about to submit it in their office. But then, my dad, a Police Officer was positioned as the Deputy Regional Director for Operations in National Capital Region Police Office last 15 March 2014. He encouraged me to have my internship in their office since there are a lot of office works to do, he wants me to attend and listen to the conferences the NCRPO conducts and he also wants me to engage in their activities, which also pertains to the Philippine's hosting of four (4) significant International events to be held in Manila in May 2014 and that includes the 34th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Chief of Police Conference (ASEANAPOL), 23rd World Economic Forum (WEF), Young Leaders Forum/Meeting and the 10th ASEAN Finance Ministers Investors Seminar (AFMIS) in the Philippines.

Well, and I have decided to take the opportunity to work for my dad and in my dad's office in NCRPO. Moreover, I would also like to learn and gain experiences from their works as law enforcers, as I have dreamt of being one. This summer internship would also offer me opportunities to meet new people, Police Officers and other significant personalities. :)
