We are pleased to share with you our observation and experience in our Educational tour on March 10-14 in Metro Manila.
It was our first day in Manila. We saw different faces, new environment, new experiences and challenges on our field trip.
We lodged at the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) Guest House, Diliman, Quezon City. We arrived there from the NAIA by jeep and bus rides. We walked very long streets from Philcoa with our baggage. And finally we reached our destination in Elliptical Road, Quezon City. We took a rest all day long. In the afternoon, we went to Trinoma, and SM North EDSA to buy some foods we ate in our dormitory. In the evening, we rested and relaxed with our roommates.
In the second day of our tour in Manila, we went to Manila Bulletin Today. Luckily, we saw all the equipments that they are using in printing newspapers. Our tour guide discussed some ideas and the processes on how they provide thousands of copies to the public. In the afternoon, we went to the Philippine Daily Inquirer. They also discussed about their history and machines that they are using. We were amazed when our tour guide told us that they’re still preserving the machine that they used in the time of former President Ferdinand Marcos.
On the third day of our field trip, Ms. Yoevena Claire Taguig of ATI, briefed us about e-Learning. After the briefing, we went to the studio of GMA Network and Sir Charlie, our tour guide, brought us to their different studios. We saw some celebrities like Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Thea Tolentino and the Los Byaheros of Eat Bulaga (Pedro, Eduardo, and Diego) and sir Chino Gaston. He allowed us to see him reporting live in his “breaking news”. After which, he gave us some tips on how to become a good reporter.
In another day for us AB Mass Communication students, early morning, we started our day with preparing the things that we needed to bring for our tour at ABS-CBN. We were very excited for our tour because at last we will see the state of the art facilities that ABS-CBN is offering us. At 1:00 o’clock in the afternoon, we started to travel by riding our service bus. The travel was so fast that it took us one hour to reach the ABS-CBN building; we came there at 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
The tour was very enjoyable and very interesting especially when we entered the studios of the ABS-CBN. It was very cold inside the studios due to good air conditioning which is needed to secure and prevent equipments from overheating. We saw how hard to make a studio setting. They told us that it takes one day to complete one set for a show. We also saw the dressing room of the “It’s Showtime” celebrities but unfortunately, we didn’t see even one of them inside.
We gained a lot of knowledge on that tour and that was so memorable. We will never forget it for the rest of our lives. We think discipline is one of the most developed among us in that tour.
