The 2nd of June, 2009 marked my firsthand contact in transacting with DepEd’s Division Office in Sorsogon. I was to fill a post as a substitute teacher for someone who was going into maternity leave. As procedure requires, I had to submit my papers and seek for an approval. Because it was my first, I was groping my way through the process. It took me one whole day to finish the transaction. But for most of the time, i was waiting.
At the end of the day, I was truly grateful. Because I need not go back for another day of waiting.
I have to mention the act of kindness which I was blessed to receive from someone who I came to know is Madame Dingalan. I was looking for the Accounting Office and momentarily stopped at the door blocking Madame Dingalan’s path. When I turned around, I almost bumped into her. But instead of being pissed for cutting her way, she was all smile and gently asked me where I was headed. I told her and she gave me directions.
When i was already upstairs, together with others who were also waiting, she made the gesture of asking if we had been attended to. Such acts of kindness!!!
I do hope every government office has someone like her.
