Random Thoughts: First of A Series
For more than three years I was working as senior writer and assistant editor for the Bohol Chronicle. Being a journalist, I had to talk to people and get information from them - for you cannot know all the events that are taking place in your province. You need to rely on connections, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers.
My experience tells me that most people are always afraid to speak out (perhaps that was the way we were raised by the bastard Spanish centuries ago). People fear that any information coming from them would be used in the future against them.
I was often frustrated. There were stories that I needed to write for these stories were of paramount public interest, but no single soul would stand as source. In journalism you cannot use "I said," or "according to this writer" in your news.
Looking back, I want to reiterate this call: Tubag Bohol. The world is listening. "We Listen"
