When a situation calls you to participate in politics, a bigger, bolder, and braver responsibility are carried over to make yourself available and definitely render your service and allegiance at your best. It is a time to be active, participatory and be willing to fight for what is right, to at least, be part of the change.
We had our plenary meeting today at
DYGB-FM Power 91, Dumaguete City with Mr. Romulo Amarado as the presiding anchorman. We discussed things
that concern the national and local elections this May 13, 2013. Sir Amarado instructed
and gave us individual tasks to do for the coverage. He told us to be vigilant
and tactful so as we may be safe in cases of bad turns out of events.
He told us to prepare necessary paraphernalia during the election coverage. We are also tasked to report things that may occur prior to the election.
With this participation of mine, comes a reliable partnership to proper deliberation and delegation of the taks. Thus, I am partnered with Mr. Nick Jati (I don't know the correct name
spelling) to do field reports. We will be regularly monitoring the municipalities of Bacong, Dauin and Zamboaguita, where the polling precincts are made available for the people to cast their vote. We will
also be visiting some areas in Dumaguete City to check possible events that may
arise. Moreover, we are also expected to do extensive and heinous interviews to
some of the voters, related to the progress of the election.
Mr. Jati will be my mentor in the field of broadcast journalism as
he has wide and long experience and exposure in the said field. He will be my "shoulder" as I go to the realm of exorbitant election. He will teach me some
techniques of voice manipulations, some intro and extro voice over and other
things relevant to my personal journalistic development. Likewise, I’ll be his
trainee who will follow his commands; a trainee who will always be a good and observant
reporter and a trainee who will always help him in the 2013 election coverage.
And along with this are my greater and wider expectations of
acquiring and learning better knowledge in broadcast journalism so as to deepen my understanding and admiration in the world of politics. More so,
this experience will make me a person who is dedicated, participatory and be politically oriented. This will also widen my experience both in the print and
broadcast journalism which is/are necessary and relevant to the
company I am currently working. Since I
will be working in the publication soon, this will be a big blast that will contribute
better improvements to the craft I love.
You
see, I know this is quite tedious and presumptuous, but it will be big break for me
to practice broadcast journalism and to actively get myself work for the better.
This experience of mine will teach me values, love and appreciation of the field. This will also be part of my student-journalist-life.
Although I am not into the field, I know for sure I can handle this with full transparency and enthusiasm.
This is all for now..Wait for my next blog entry after the election. See yah!!!
