News, photojournalism writeshop
TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, October 11 (PIA)—From the country’s premier technical skills education authority, there are a lot of good news worth telling, the problem however is how to tell these to the communities.
Knowing this and the need to tell the good news, Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Bohol Provincial Director Grace Corazon Castillo orders the office to put up and for its key personnel to attend a Training on Newswriting and Photojournalism through Office Order 32 series of 2019.
The move is also in support of Tesda’s quest for continuous improvement of its Quality Management Systems especially in the field of reporting.
Fourteen Tesda staff came in for the training handled by the PIA in Bohol at the Jjs Seafoods Village October 8.
The PIA has been handing out free journalism workshops to schools and interest groups in its effort to improve community consciousness about the duties and responsibilities of news writers.
The PIA also gives the same workshops to impart the necessary skills needed to equip communities of the right tools to counter the spread of fake news and partial reporting.
Finally, as a government agency that should not compete with the major media companies, the PIA veers into the news and feature realms to be able to put a face to government projects.
Director Castillo also instructed the participants from Tesda Training Centers across Bohol to submit a Reentry Action Plan (REAP), in a bid to make sure that the training does not go to waste.
Training participants include Rochelle delos Reyes, Rosemarie Bantol, Rassel Pagaran and Mark Dennis Tumanda of the Provincial Office.
From PTC Bilar were Nisa Ando and Seth Alexander Caballo of PTC Bilar, while PTC Inabanga sent in Leah Alacida and Diosdado Lofranco Jr.
Participants from PTC Jagna include Maria Leilani Caido and Marietta Basmayor while PTC Tubigon sent in Joahnna Mangyao.
Also joining were PTC Pilar with Wilfreda Medel, Jessa Varquez and Marichu Cua as co-speaker and secretariat.
TESDA is implementing the government’s Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act as well as the work scholarship programs through the Private Education Student Financial Assistance (PESFA), Training for Work Scholarship (TWSP) and the Special Training for Employment Program (STEP).
From the beneficiaries of these scholarship programs, TESDA hopes their writers can evoke stories and put a face to the projects that the government is giving. (rahc/PIA-7/Bohol)
