FTS DAY 3

Day 3
October 6, 2010, AM

We had our buffet breakfast at Bellore Restaurant located at 57 Examiner St. West Triangle, Quezon City. Then after, we proceeded to ASTI or Advance Science and Technology Institute. ASTI was also located at UP Diliman Campus. What we are doing in ASTI? – in ASTI we had the chance to witness the works of ASTI personnel, they presented us their technologies and also the Bayanihan OS.
First, they presented to us the Bayanihan OS, a linux based operating system. We were familiar of the OS because back here in USEP, in our OS subject, we chose Bayanihan OS to present during our OS presentation. After a while, they presented to us their technologies, the tsunami warning system, this technology alerts/ give signal to the people if there’s a tsunami threat. The technology was very essential to people living near the coastal areas.
Our next company visit was the SSS wherein we were warmly welcomed. Just after we arrived in their building, we immediately lined up to get our name tags and after that, we proceeded to their hall in which they had prepared for us. Inside the hall, they were 3 representatives from the SSS sited in front of us along with our 2 facilitators, Ms. Maui and Maam Tammy. After the presentation, we went to their museum. We enjoyed watching many memorabilia’s from the past. We took pictures of the said memorabilia’s. After visiting the museum, we also went to their Card Production Center. Inside this room there were many machinery both working and non-working were displayed. Then after that we went to their Member Assistance Center.

What I Learned?

I learned many things in this 3rd day of the tour; I learned how the tsunami warning system works. I also learned that in SSS, there were many people who tried to fake their identities – and eventually get caught. I also learned the process on how to become a member of the SSS family.

What I liked?

I liked ASTI’s technology of alerting the people living near the coast lines before a tsunami strikes. This technology helps save a lot of precious lives.
I liked SSS’s museum and library, their warm welcome to us and also their machinery in creating cards.
I also liked SSS’s security measures in detecting fake identities.

What I didn’t like?

Well, surprisingly there’s nothing that I didn’t like this day.
