Ms. Jhea Shalimar P. Samson serves as an Archivist I at the National Archives of the Philippines (NAP), Archives Collection and Access Division (ACAD) - Reference Service Unit. Her primary responsibility is to process requested archival records to clients who either walk-in or email transactions, ensuring that each request is released efficiently. She is also one of those responsible for preparing and encoding Certified True Copies and Certifications of Non-Availability for civil and notarial records. In carrying out these responsibilities, she adheres to established archival policies, procedures, and quality standards to ensure the accuracy, authenticity, and proper handling of all records released to the public.

Having served at the NAP for almost a year, Ms. Samson considers herself still relatively new to the position. Despite this, she has already encountered one of the most common challenges faced by NAP frontliners: the widespread misconception that the NAP automatically keeps all historical and government records. As a result, many requesting parties approach the archives with little or no information about the records they need, often expecting the NAP to immediately provide the requested documents. To address this challenge, Ms. Samson makes the conscious effort to clearly explain to clients the scope and limitations of the archives' holdings, guide them in understanding where specific records may actually be maintained, and suggest alternative repositories or government agencies, when necessary.

Through effective communication and public assistance, she helps manage client expectations while ensuring that they receive accurate information and are directed to the most appropriate source of their records. This challenging aspect of her role connects to what she finds most fulfilling: knowing she can directly help clients obtain crucial documents that support their legal, personal, or historical needs. Through her work at ACAD, Ms. Samson contributes meaningfully to promoting government transparency, protecting citizens' rights, and preserving historical evidence.

She believes that professional archivists will remain indispensable in ensuring the authenticity, reliability, and long-term preservation of government records, even as digitalization advances. She thinks that archives are more than just paper; it is a repository of collective memory that tells the story of who we are as a people, and how the Filipino nation has grown through generations. For her, the mission of the NAP is a shared responsibility that extends beyond the institution itself. Government agencies, organizations, families, and every Filipino citizen all play a vital role in ensuring that the nation's documentary heritage remains accessible for present and future generations.
