The AOC Cabanatuan branch sends off three On-the-Job Trainees from Dr. Gloria D. Lacson Foundation Colleges, Inc. – Cabanatuan City (DGDLFCI)—Jem Rose Plaza, Janine Javier Pia, and Jennica Portos—who have successfully completed their 200 hours of internship from July 1 to August 8, 2025 under the BS Accountancy program.
Throughout their training, they were immersed in real work experiences that honed their technical knowledge and professional skills. As they concluded their OJT journey, each of them shared heartfelt reflections about their time with AOC:
“In just one month, I learned so much more than I expected. The guidance, patience, and advice you shared with us are treasures I will carry into my career. Thank you for making our learning meaningful, and for showing us not only the work but also the kindness and support that make a workplace feel like family.” – Jennica Portos
“I started my internship with zero knowledge about accounting, but I am finishing it with confidence, lessons, and memories I will never forget. Thank you for welcoming us warmly, for trusting us with tasks, and for patiently guiding us through. Wherever life takes us, AOC will always be part of my journey and one of my happiest memories.” – Jem Rose Plaza
“AOC was truly an answered prayer for me. This internship gave me more than just technical skills in auditing, tax, and financial reporting—it gave me mentors who inspired me, challenged me, and supported me along the way. I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from dedicated professionals whose guidance has been invaluable in shaping my growth.” – Janine Javier
The internship journey of Jem, Janine, and Jennica is a reflection of AOC’s commitment to nurturing future professionals. Just as they gained valuable lessons and experiences from the firm, their presence also enriched the workplace with fresh perspectives, energy, and eagerness to learn. This mutual exchange highlights the true value of internships—not only in shaping future accountants but also in strengthening the culture of mentorship within the company.
