The Pinoy Media Congress

The Pinoy Media Congress is a very wonderful experience for us, Mass Communication students. A wonderful experience which have helped us realize the importance of our profession in this world.

Some people may say that our course is not that important in this world. They say that unlike in Nursing, nursing can save lives as same with doctors. They say that unlike Accountancy and Business Administration, practitioners can improve our country by saving our dying economy. And, in our field, they say that we just make stories which cause troubles in our country.
But, if may ask, who informs the people when problems arise in this country. Who reports breaking news which greatly affect the people. Isn't, we, the Mass communication practitioners?

In the Pinoy Media Congress, which we have attended last November 28-29, a particular session made me realize how important is our field to this society.
As a developing country, the field of Mass Communication is very important in telling the people of the news that are happening. Our major role is to be the Fourth Estate, or the watchdog of this society. And, we do this by responsibly writing and reporting whatever story that happen to the country.
Not only that, we are also playing a very crucial role by letting the people know the latest things existing in this world. Through the use of the advertisement and public relations, this becomes possible.

Because of the Pinoy Media Congress, I now have a great and noble respect for my field. How could I show then my respect for my field. I think by doing my best to become one day, a responsible, passionate, sincere, and dedicated practitioner of communication.

To the ABS-CBN Channel 2 who have given us the opportunity to become part of the celebrated PINOY MEDIA CONGRESS, thank you very much, CONGRATULATIONS and may God Bless you all.

Christmas without my mother

If there would be a saddest Christmas in my life, that would be this year's Christmas. Why will it be the saddest, anyway? It is because this was the very year, that I will not be celebrating Christmas with my mother.

My Christmas won't be the same with the past years anymore. Unlike before when we were altogether, waiting for the hands of the clock to reach the twelfth. Preparing together for the Noche Buena and chatting different stories which make us laugh. Now, my mother will not be here to help us prepare the food, give us different Christmas presents, tell us interesting stories, and kiss us when it's time. Why? My mother died this year.

But, that is reality. What can u do? what I am just doing now as to adjust with this gloom, I am just thinking that my mother is just miles away from me. I am just thinking that she is just abroad and working. I am just thinking that she will be near soon.

I am also sad for my siblings because they are also waiting for my mother. But, we can't do anything about that matter anymore.

I simply miss those days when we were together celebrating and waiting for the time of Christmas. How I wish my mother is still here.

I just hope that my mother is very happy wherever she is right now. I hope she will send us a smile so we may know that even if she is not with us, she's still happy.

The past Christmas years will not happen anymore. I know my mother will not come back anymore. But, my only wish is tat for us to have a merry and happy Christmas in the absence of my mother.

Mom, wherever you are, I wish you a very merry and very happy Christmas.
