Upang mapalawak ang kaalaman ng mga estudyante at beteranong mamamahayag tungkol sa disaster reporting, inilunsad ang isang seminar sa pangunguna ng National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP)- Bulacan noong ika-14 ng Hulyo, sa Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, Malolos City.
Nakilahok ang mga mag-aaral ng Bulacan State University (BulSU) at La Consolacion University Malolos sa limang oras na seminar na may temang ‘(Dis)Covering Disasters’ kung saan dinaluhan ito ng mga diskusyunaryo na kilala sa larangan ng pamamahayag. “Information is the first line of defense against disaster,” pahayag ni G. Dino Balabo ng Mabuhay. Samantala, tinalakay din ang mga kalamidad na maaaring maengkwentro ng mga mamamahayag lalo na sa Bulacan, sa presentasyon ni Gng. Felicisima Mungcal na mula sa Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC). Napag-usapan din ang online libel sa diskusyong pinangunahan ni Atty. Juvic Degala, kung saan ipinahayag niyang ang isang responsableng mamamahayag ay may ingat at dignidad kahit sa simpleng pag-po-post lang sa kahit anong uri ng social networking sites. Nagbigay naman ng ilang tips sa pag-ko-cover ng balita sa gitna ng mga kalamidad si G. Rommel Ramos ng Radyo Bulacan sa pagtatapos ng seminar. Sa kabuuan, naging matagumpay ang seminar sa pakikipagtulungan ng Radyo Bulacan, Philippine Press Institute (PPI), Mabuhay, PromdiNews at Mabuhay Online. Unrecognizing Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) issue and Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, President Benigno Aquino III delivered his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, on July 28, 2014.
Aquino highlights many of his administration’s achievements but did not mention the issue on the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) with many of the politicians are engaged. Senators have mixed feedbacks but they were uniting that the President was right when he did not mention about the troubles of the three imprisoned senators. The three senators namely, Juan Ponce Enrile, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, and Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. have been detained at Camp Crame in Quezon City for accused plunder with the “pork barrel” scam. Senators Nancy Binay and Teofisto Guingona III said Aquino’s Sona was not the right venue to raise the issue of the three. “I was thinking kasi it’s already with the judiciary, the Sandiganbayan and you know, there’s separation of branches so let the Judiciary branch of government take care of that aspect already,” Guingona said. But thousands of protesters rallied along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City toward Batasan Pambansa on Monday afternoon. According to them, Aquino is the pork barrel king as they have illustrated "holDAPer" dummy which pertains to the President's DAP. Moreover, Aquino also failed to comprise the passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill which aims to get rid of corruption in the government by providing the public greater access to government transactions and records. “He mentioned safe bills–I mean, Cabotage law? What is that? Safe bills will pass Congress but the FOI and the National Land Use Bills require a lot of discussion,” stated Ifugao Representative Teddy Baguilat Jr. National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (PUJP)-Bulacan, Radyo Bulacan, Philippine Press Institute (PPI), Mabuhay, PromdiNews and Mabuhay Online organized the first disaster reporting seminar held at Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, July 14, 1-5pm.
With the aim to educate over 120 students of journalism, veteran journalists and social media users in Bulacan , the speakers lectured about the jobs and responsibilities of a journalist in a calamity through the seminar’s title "(dis) Covering Disasters.” “Remember that our country belongs to Typhoon Belt and Pacific Ring of Fire. Ang isang mamamahayag ay dapat laging handa, dahil ang mga kalamidad ay lagi ring handa,” stated Mrs. Felicisima Mungcal of Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC). Moreover, topics tackled were online libel discussed by Atty. Juvic Degala and Mr. Rommel Ramos of GMA network for news covering, giving some tips on how to cover a disaster with simple things like mobile phone. After each discussion, questions and clarifications of the seminarians were entertained by the speakers. “Dapat talaga nagkakaroon ng mga ganitong seminar e, mas natututo kami dito. Mahalaga ‘to sa field namin, kaya interesado kami sa mga discussion. . paghahanda na rin sa kung ano mang susuungin namin ‘pag journalist na talaga kami,” exclaimed Anne Joyce Raymundo, student of Journalism. After President Benigno Aquino III delivered his second to the last State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 28, a variety of comments and reactions from Filipinos come out.
It may be informative and filled with President’s achievements, but some doubts that the contents of Aquino's fifth State of the Nation Address impact on the lives of the country's ordinary folk. “Inilatag niya ‘yung mga accomplishments niya with specific quantities, nakaka-impress pero dama ba talaga ‘to ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan?” – Cesar Cabigting, educator. “Inexpect ko na talagang puro positive ang sasabihin ng pangulo, pagpapapogi ‘yan e, pero sana na-discuss ng tama ang kakulangan natin sa langis, electricity, bawang at bigas na kung saan apektado talaga ang masa.” –Rosemarie Santiago, housewife. “Ayos din ang SONA e. Kung wala ito hindi pa namin malalaman na umunlad na pala ang Pilipinas, hindi kasi namin ramdam e.” –Greg Dimarucut, tricycle driver. Moreover, some denizens say that SONA left out important issues such as job creation, peace process and foreign policy especially now that the country was in the middle of a territorial conflict with China. “Hinihintay ko ‘yung report ng pangulo tungkol sa progreso ng trabaho dito sa bansa pero hindi man masyadong nabanggit bukod sa mas pinaprioritise nila ‘yung mga TESDA graduates.” – Mark Cruz, unemployed. “Hindi masyadong pinoint out ‘yung kapayapaan sa Pilipinas, kung kailan pa naman madalas napapabalita ‘yung mga gyera sa mga bansang malapit lang sa’tin saka pa niya binalewala.’’ – Adrian Santos, store owner. “ ‘Yung isyu sa China, dapat nga ba tayong mangamba na isang araw hindi na sa’tin ang Pilipinas? Hindi man lang nagbigay kasiguraduhan si PNoy na hindi dapat tayo matakot o kailangan na nating maghanda na baka palayasin na tayo dito dahil wala naman siyang ginagawang aksyon tungkol dito. – Rochelle Gamboa, house helper. Focusing on the overhaul content of speech, students also speak out their different judgement on Aquino’s SONA. “Dati kasi English talaga ‘yung SONA e, ngayon kay Pnoy tagalog kaya mas naiintindihan. Saka detalyado siyang magbigay ng impormasyon, may videos at presentations pa nga kaya hindi nakaka-bore panuorin.” –Shaira Briones. “Pulidong magsalita si PNoy saka ramdam kong sincere naman siya sa sinasabi niya. May part pa nga na umiyak siya, para sa’kin, hindi ‘yun scripted o gusto lang niya. Naiyak talaga siya dahil ‘yun ‘yung nararamdaman niya.” –Lovely Giron. “80 over 100. ‘Yung 20% na kulang e dahil hindi niya nabanggit ‘yung FOI Bill na importanteng mapag-usapan.” –Kim Delgado. However, posts and comments in social networking sites also reveal criticisms and compliments as people’s response to Aquino’s message. “Nakaka-encourage ‘yung SONA ni PNoy na maging isang responsableng Pilipino. Hindi man perpekto ‘yung speech niya, pero nandoon ‘yung sinseridad at malasakit niya sa bayan niya.” –@serendipity. “Sana ‘yung mga pangako e hindi lang hanggang SONA, maisagawa rin sana nang may mangyari namang maganda sa termino ni Aquino.” –Anonymous. “ ‘Filipino is worth living for’, ang sarap marinig mula sa taong wala nang inatupag kun’di ang pagsilbihan ang mga taong hindi naman niya kilala pero sinisiraan siya. Dabes parin si PNoy!” –Joi Ann. “ Halos dalawang oras nagsalita, pero hindi man lang nabanggit ang mga pork barrel queen and kings. Dapat pinatamaan niya man lang nang mangatog din ang tuhod ng mga magnanakaw na nasa harap niya.” –resurrectiongab The firm tone President Benigno Aquino III used to defend the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) lead to moving speech, as he became nostalgic during his penultimate State of the Nation Address. “The Filipino is worth dying for, the Filipino is worth living for, the Filipino is definitely worth fighting for,” the President stated throughout the joint session of Congress. With his voice breaking, he was recalling the words of his father, martyr Ninoy Aquino. Aquino’s SONA, specifically the last parts were met with stirring applause from the crowd, composed of members of the 16th Congress; from allies and family members. Admitting the fact that next year will be his last SONA, the President showcased his administration’s success since he came to lead in 2010, focusing on increases in the economy and social service matters. Partly, he boasts the achievements of the government on education, social services, economy, improvement, infrastructure, calamity efforts, jobs, rehabilitation after typhoons and earthquake, modernization of AFP, security, ARMM Bangsamoro and livelihood. Aquino challenged leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as presidential aspirants. “Patapos na ako. Palagay ko, naramdaman ninyo kung anong pagbabago ang dapat mangyari at bahala na kayong magpatuloy nito.” Aquino in 2010 ran on promises of good authority, but recently his administration has been rocked by scandals including the pork barrel scam and DAP. In his SONA, however, Aquino seemed to adopt a more careful tone in defending DAP. He only directly mentioned the optional fund when he said it benefited 223,615 Technical Education and Skills Development Authority students. However, Aquino considered the issues regarding DAP is the toughest year of his six-year term. |
