Mahirap. Matrabaho. Nakakastress. Nakakapagod.

'Yan siguro ang unang mga salitang papasok sa isip ng karamihan kapag mababanggit ang work program na Media Center. Hindi naman namin idedeny. Mapapatotohanan 'yan ng kahit sinong estudyanteng naging bahagi ng MC.

Ikaw ba naman ang mapiga ang utak kaiisip ng pwedeng isulat, mapagod kahahanap ng balita, magpapirma ng mga permit, mag-interview, magtawag, mag-picture, mag-layout, at magpaalala paulit-ulit na magsubmit na ng pending articles. Mahirap. Mahirap talaga.

Dalawang taon pa lamang kaming learning coordinators ng MC pero masasabi naming isa ito sa mga pinaka-challenging na subjects na aming naituro.

PERO... dahil sa pagka-haggard ng trabaho, ang mga staff na nahahawakan namin ang nagiging pinaka-bonded at pinakamasaya... :)

Kagaya ng MC1 2012.

Parang kailan lang nang pasulatin namin sila for diagnostics. 17 batang parang ayaw pang magsimulang magtrabaho. Parang napilitan lang pumasok. Hehe. Yung totoo? Akala namin puro pagsasaya lang ang gagawin nila.

Makukulit sila. Para kaming sirang plaka. Paulit-ulit sa pagpapaliwanag ng gagawin.

Mabagal rin sila kumilos minsan.

PERO...

Mahusay. Talagang mahusay ang diskarte at output nila. Kasi naman...

Creative. Tunay silang malikhain. Kitang-kita sa mga nai-publish na.

KAYA PARA SA AMIN...

1!

UNO SILA. Dahil talaga namang di matatawaran ang commitment nila sa trabaho. Isang bagay na dapat matutuhan ng mga susunod sa kanilang MC pipol.

Bukas, may bago nang MC staff. May bagong learning coordinators. May bagong mga balita, kwento, at tulang aabangan.

Ngunit, ang mga experiences namin ngayong sem--trabaho man o tawanan, brainstorming man o kulitan--hinding-hindi namin malilimutan.

Sa ngalan ng MC1 2012, nais naming magpasalamat sa inyong suporta sa "maiden voyage" ng MC blogsite. Kung hindi dahil sa inyo, hindi ito magiging successful. Sana patuloy kayong maging bahagi ng balitaan at kwentuhan.

And so... dizizit! :)

Hanggang sa muli, guys!

Feature (Submission): Aaron Lina: A Dreamer, An Athlete

11/07/2011 07:54:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Basketball has always been one of the sports most favored by Filipinos. Undoubtedly, it has become a part of our culture and its impact on the masses is very strong. Men and women alike, may they be young or old, continue to show love for this sport. They do this by supporting their favourite athletes and continuously seeking updates regarding recent games.

With this, a number of young Filipino boys dream of becoming a basketball superstar–aspiring to be the next Alvin Patrimonio or Kobe Bryant.

Aaron Lina, who plays point guard for the UPIS Juniors Basketball Team, has the same ambition.

At the tender age of 5, Aaron already started to take a liking to basketball. From that moment, it seemed that he already knows what kind of future is in store for him. “I really love playing basketball kasi,” he says.

As Aaron reached high school, he decided to try out for the UP Juniors Basketball Team. With his skills refined by years of playing, he got in and was also accepted at the University of the Philippines Integrated School. He’s now in the 9th grade and is enjoying being a regular high school student.

When asked on how his athletic career influenced his personal life, he answered, “Maganda. It’s because I gained more friends who helped me become a better player and a better person as well. I also learned many things.” This just proves that being a basketball player is beneficial for Aaron in various ways. He stated that he improved his self-discipline and learned to work more effectively in a team.

“Very supportive din ang family ko. They watch our games and my father often teaches me the right things to do when playing basketball,” he adds.

While pursuing his dreams of becoming a basketball superstar, Aaron’s parents and other relatives serve as his own cheering squad. Undeniably, they give strength and courage to the young athlete.

Nevertheless, Aaron also plans to pursue medical studies. “Kung hindi player, I want to be a doctor,” he says with a smile on his face.

Aaron Lina continuously strives to be the best at his chosen craft. In no time at all, we hope to see him in larger arenas and perhaps, as a star player in an NBA team.

“Never stop dreaming. Hard work and love for the game will help you succeed and reach your dreams. Study hard!” he leaves as a final remark.

Feature: A Tribute to NU: Everyone’s Home of NU Rock

11/01/2011 09:25:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Angelo Fetalvero

It was a surreal moment, something never thought to be possible. Stifled cries and words of bereavement filled the audio booth as DJs broke from their cool personas and cried over the loss of something so dear to them. Outside, hundreds of mourning fans filled Emerald Road as a mixture of grief and disbelief ran through everyone’s heads. Finally, when the clock almost reached midnight, the moment everyone dreaded finally happened.

“It’s a minute before 12. NU107 is DWFM at 107.5 megahertz in Pasig, once the loudest and proudest member of KBP. This has been NU 107, the Philippine’s one and only home of new rock. This is NU 107, we are signing off.”

Chris Hermosisima’s words were the final ones to be broadcast on air by a DJ but the station was not yet done. Keeping with its hard core roots, the station went out with a bang. The Eraserhead’s “Huling El Bimbo” played in the airwaves and the fans outside the building sang it with all their heart. After the song has reached its final notes, and the fan’s adrenaline started to drop, the depressing tune of silence filled everything as hiss and static took over the frequency.

It’s hard to digest the fact that it has been nearly a year since NU 107 went off the air. The station was founded on October 31, 1987 and it rocked the airwaves for twenty three years until it ceased broadcasting on November 10, 2010. NU’s founder, banker Atom Henares, said in an interview with ANC that it was the right time to close the station as the network was languishing in the bottom of the ratings charts. The upscale market which NU targeted wasn’t advertiser friendly and they struggled in finding sponsors. Its listeners were also starting to listen to other sources of music as the station struggled to compete with the internet and music television.
