Internship: Day 2


Second day of my internship in Malacanan today! 10 hours down, 190 hours more!

For today’s activity, we went to three different bureaus of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).  First we visited Radio Television Malacañang, they are responsible for the coverage of President Aquino’s activities, they also make shows, and we actually saw their team editing the new government program entitled, “Gov @ Work.” One of the hosts is Aica Robredo, the daughter of the late Sec. Jesse Robredo. I am happy that they are using Mac as their equipment!

After, we visited the briefing room and pressroom of Malacanan. We met several media people from radio and print, too bad there is no scheduled press briefing today so no people from TV.

Lastly, we visited the Bureau of Communication Services; they are responsible for mostly the print media of the government. They print leaflets given to foreign media, print information that students might need regarding the government, burn CDs containing useful material about government etc. We had the chance to see their machines, though we saw the old ones since the new machines from the US would still arrive on June 14! Their director had a short talk with us too, Mr. Manalili is so funny and quirky, I learned so much from him regarding why it is fulfilling to be part of media! In addition, they gave us food (HAHA), ensaymada, juice and ginataan for merienda! We also met a new staff of BCS from UST! I am so happy that she immediately got a job after graduation; at least she is now part of the working force of our country!

I totally enjoyed the second day of my internship. I am quite excited to begin with the real work but I have to admit I am scared at the same time since I am not good in reading google maps. I hope in time I would be able to know most places around the metro! I think this is my getting lost and finding myself yearning! lol

P.S. It was totally traffic this morning because of Quiapo Day! Hassle but I admire the people who really showcase their devotion to the Black Nazarene, God bless you! :)
