University admits loopholes in student training

LINGAYEN—Pangasinan State University president Dexter Buted recently admitted there are “loopholes and problems” in its on-the-job training system during the hearing of the ad hoc committee of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan held at the session hall of the Capitol building here.

The SP inquiry tackled a complaint based on a letter of concerned citizens detailing the experience of 34 PSU students who allegedly treated as regular employees at Interphil Laboratories in Canlubang, Laguna province.

The issue on the alleged irregularities of the OJT program of PSU cropped up after Dharel dela Cruz, a graduating Business Administration student of PSU-San Carlos, was hospitalized due to a serious respiratory ailment he acquired during his training at the pharmaceutical firm.

The complaint received by the governor’s office stated that the unsuitable environment of the workplace has unfortunately caused Dharel to be hospitalized, as he was not even allowed to go home when he started feeling ill.

It was learned during the inquiry that aside from performing office work in Interphil, the OJTs were also exposed to dry products packaging.
