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.
