Looking back

My Practicum Days

This was 9 months ago (2 months to go and it’s anniversary) and I am still excited every time I look back at my practicum days.

I can proudly say that I’ve learned a lot during my training. Going out in fields for news gathering, whether it’s sports, police or senate beat, those were unforgettable! I've met a lot of people and I have fallen in love with them. It made me realized that two days are never the same and that there are lots of things that could possibly happen within a day. Those memories that I have will always be in my mind and in my heart. Those people who touched my life during my training will never be forgotten. Kuya Jerry, Ate Mitch, Kuya Edward, Ms. Vicky, Ms. Mackay, Ms. Laarni, Kuya Ernie and Kuya Pao. All of you have contributed a lot to me as a person. Again and again, I thank all of you for the training!!

PRACTICAL LESSONS I'VE LEARNED DURING MY INTERNSHIP:

Tibay ng loob

Tatag ng sikmura (This is because sometimes you won’t eat on time.)

Kapal ng mukha

Treat yourself as a reporter and not a trainee

Focus is a must!

Move fast, whether you are assisting the PA or your boss commanded you something.

Comprehension is vital especially in making news.

Respect people and their time.

Dress appropriately in every event. When you are in Senate, you have to wear formal attire while if your beat is Sports, pants and sneakers will do.

Speak well.

Don’t be shy to ask questions.

Be friendly.

Have initiative.

Go for the best angle of the news.

Look for the 'good' in every news.
