Entry#11: More Legworks For Us.
We were given 2 events to cover. One was to cover the Labor Day “Kapihan” at DOLE where they’ve talked about the Job Fair and the other one was the Meeting de Avance of KATRIBU Partylist, more of that, yes, saying their agendas for the people but they also celebrated Cordillera Day.
At the DOLE “Kapihan”, the panelists who were representatives from TESDA, PEOA, PESO and other agencies talked about the job fair that will be held on May 1 and 2 in two different destinations, one at the Baguio Convention Center and the other one was at SM Baguio. They also talked about resumes and proper attires one should considered when applying for a job. I can’t help but feel excited that those were the ones we interns did while applying for an internship. At last, we’ve experienced the experiences experienced by people with experience. Haha
At the People’s park, the venue for the meeting de avance of KATRIBU, we waited for the program to start, there were indigenous people from different barangays. While waiting, indigenous people were dancing some kind of courtship dance. They looked happy. Their culture is so rich you can’t help but admire them.
At the end of the day, we’ve learned all about Cordillera, and how they’ve come up with Cordillera Day. There were huge tarpaulins where they’ve put everything about Cordillera Day. The problem was some of it was written in Ilokano. I can understand Ilokano, but some of the words they’ve used were un-understandable by me. They were older words in which I can’t distinguish.
Tomorrow is the deadline for all of our articles. I was asked to go to the event of COMELEC because that was the assigned beat for me. I don’t know what the event all about was but yeah, I’m going. Oh yeah, I laso used my internship ID for the first time :D
PS. You must know the language of the people you are writing to, because in that way, they will understand you
PSS. If you are bilingual or trilingual or can understand and write in different language, you can be a very very good journalist :) Because in any event you go to, you can understand what they’re saying so you’ll get more facts to write from. In that case, it’s easier for you to write about anything anywhere.
