CALAPAN CITY PPO WELCOMES CRIMINOLOGY STUDENT-INTERNS
September 28, 2026 | Calapan City
The Calapan City Parole and Probation Office, headed by SPPO/OIC Ivan D. Loisaga, welcomed Criminology student-interns from the Divine Word College of Calapan (DWCC) and Mindoro State University (MinSU) during an orientation and onboarding activity held on September 28, 2026.
The student-interns were formally turned over to the Office by their respective Internship Advisers, marking the start of their practical learning experience in the field of community-based corrections.
As part of the activity, the trainees were introduced to the personnel of the Calapan City PPO and oriented on the nature, functions, and responsibilities of the Parole and Probation Administration, particularly in the areas of investigation, supervision, rehabilitation, and reintegration.
The student-interns were also briefed on the Office's rules, ethical standards, confidentiality requirements, and security protocols. Given the sensitive nature of PPA operations, strict compliance with these protocols is emphasized from day one.
Prior to placement, student applicants undergo HR screening and an interview process. Upon selection, each trainee signs an OJT Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) as part of the formal onboarding process.
The trainees were then assigned to their respective Probation and Parole Officers, who will serve as their mentors throughout their internship. Through this hands-on learning experience, they will gain valuable insights into the actual practice of community-based corrections.
The Calapan City PPO remains committed to supporting the development of future criminologists and correctional professionals through meaningful training, professional guidance, and exposure to public service.
Welcome, future criminologists! May your OJT be a meaningful step toward becoming professionals who serve with competence, integrity, and compassion.
