This would probably be me when I try to do editorial stuff. TRY. Doing all the researching and stuff. MEH.

1. What is Editorial Writing?
- When you say Editorial, it's the action of doing the an article or a writing that would express your own view or opinion on a current issue or event. It's the article that states the editor's or journalist's view. Basically, it's an opinion of the writer.

2.Write an editorial opinion regarding any topic concerning the SSC-R school population. 

The less, the better? 

We students have been used to hearing about big schools or universities when you go to college. Going into school that have tons of courses or places to go to, places to explore. But have you ever wondered studying in an underpopulated school? Have you even heard of underpopulated schools? A Famous and Well-Known school but lacks the students? Before I get to my point, I would just like to share this experience I've had going in a big school, specifically, University of Santo Tomas. Heard of it, yes? Of course you do! Who doesn't, right? One of the Big 4 schools in the Philippines. I've studied in that school from 2012 to 2014 and one of the things I can say about that school is that it is HUGE. Like really, you'll see the different departments around the place, scattered. My course is Fine Arts, I go to Beato Angelico building where all the CFAD and Arki students go and that building is the only isolated building while all the other departments are next to each other. You have to take a 10 minute walk or so, or if you're really lazy make it 30 minutes just to arrive at the Car Park to buy fast food. You have to make that sacrifice and walk that long under the scorching sun all hungry and parched. Then after when you're done eating, you'll do the same routine and when you arrive at the building well.. you're hungry again. (that explains why I got fat.. but that's not the point here.. ANYWAY) That's only talking about the distance. What about the people, the population specifically? Do you know that UST has 42,721 students enrollees as of 2013. How much do you think they've totaled in 2015 with all the new Highschool fresh graduates or transferees. After 2014, I transferred at San Sebastian College - Recoletos Canlubang. Take note.. "Canlubang" not Manila and the population of this school that i'm in is only at 300+ college students. See the difference between the two schools? Why I mentioned my past school is that mainly because of the big difference. In UST, you have so much people surrounding you that you get to feel alone or even having so many friends, you would still feel like you have none because of how many students you don't know are surrounding you. UST has like 5 and up buildings around while Baste Canlubang only has 1. Our building looks like one room compared to the whole UST. This may look like i'm insulting or humiliating our school, but i'm not. To be honest, going to San Sebastian College - Recoletos Canlubang has been like a reincarnation for me. I haven't been the best student in UST, infact despite all the hardships that I've made I still fail most of the time and that's saying something. This may seem far off topic but it connects because transferring to a small school like Baste made my college life so much better. Yes, it's small. Yes, it has a number of students that you can count without getting tired. Yes, you can get to one place to another in just 5 mins because of how small it is. But that's what makes it good, for me. With the population this small, you will have the chance to get to know more of the people around you, get the chance to meet each one and talk to them on a normal basis without even missing not saying hi to one student. With this kind of population, bullying wouldn't be much of a problem. You know almost everyone, your friend knows your friends, everyone knows you, you know them. Who would think there would be bullying going around when all of you basically know each other. With this kind of population, you wont get to notice one that doesn't matters because since everyone knows everyone, it's like everyone matters. You know everyone, you notice everyone, you notice everyone's moves and you'll never feel alone.

Me after UST:

*hair flip*






(Ma'am i'm so sorry if this turned out more into a reflection than an editorial writing. I really don't know how to do editorial writing stuff... But I hope this will do. THANK YOU!)

The Less, The Better?

Sunday, 21 June 2015


That even though it's my BIRTHDAAAAAAY!!! I'm not excused to do this assignment. Although i'm not sure when I was suppose to pass it >____>" *scoots away*

*coughs* SORRY MA'AM!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

ON TO THE ASSIGNMENT! \(>o <)

1. What are the parts of a newspaper? Provide a picture and describe what part of the newspaper it was and its purpose. 


Headline: The title given to a story
Cut: A photo or illustration
Nameplate or Masthead: A newspaper's name printed in special type on the front page
Deck: A secondary head-line which provides additional info about the story
By-Line: Name of the writer appearing above the article
Photo Credit: A reference to the source of a photograph
Index: An alphabetized table of contents of the newspaper
Cutline: Descriptive info appearing with a piece of "art", also called a caption
Graphic: A combination of artowrk and words which helps to visually explain a story
Jump line: Line telling a reader where the story is continued
Lead: The first sentence of a news story informing the reader of WHO, WHERE, WHAT, WHEN and somtimes HOW and WHY

2. In your own opinion, why are there 2 kinds of newspaper?
- In my opinion.. they have 2 different audiences. Let's say that Tabloids are mostly targeted for men while Broadsheets are for anyone, not just men. Other than that, tabloids are cheaper and anyone can buy it more than buy broadsheets. Broadsheets has more to offer than Tabloids that's why it's more expensive. Tabloids cater more of the mass than the Broadsheets cater it.

3. Why do you think that newspaper industry is dying? If you were a newspaper journalist, what would be the best solution to keep this industry up and running? 
-  As we have discussed and noticed.. The newspaper industry is dying because of the rising of internet media. In this time, magazines and other print media disadvantages newspapers. Other than that, it's because social media is more in and easily used by the mass than newspaper. It's like thinking why would they buy newspapers when they can just look it up at the internet or etc. If I will be a journalist and is facing this kind of issue about the newspaper industry dying, I would still continue what I am used to do. I would still write articles on paper and spread it to the country like what I am used to do because there are still people who reads newspapers. What I would do is that i'll just upgrade what in the newspaper, make it more interesting to read, make it more catchy because that's one way I would catch their attentions. It should be as appealing as before like their first time reading the newspaper.

20 YEARS OF PURE AWESOMENESS

Tuesday, 16 June 2015


Talking about the struggles Journalists and Reporters are facing and doing everything to keep their shit together so that they can do their job right while every political goon around them tries to bribe them for a good review.

Let the games begin.

1. Print Media 
- refers to the way of spreading information in a form of materials like Newspapers, Magazines, Newsletters and etc.

2. Different types of Print Media
- Print Media as from the word itself is printed on paper. Circulated in the form of physical editions. The examples are Newspaper, Newsletters, Magazines, Banners/Posters, Billboards, Books, Brochures, Flyers.

3. Press Freedom
- In my own opinion, it's a way of writing or spreading opinions without the restrictions of the Government.

4. Envelop Mental Journalism
- As what Ma'am Angel discussed, it's a way of circulating information with the influence of bribery for a favourable media report.

> Who is your favourite news reporter?
As i have been contemplating as to which reporter to pick that I think is favourable, I have picked Ted Failon and Noli De Castro. I chose them because as what I observed from them, they are not afraid to speak their minds whenever they see or notice something that is wrong even if its about someone in a high position. They give clear announcements and simply give their own opinion on the issue and not stating it in an offensive manner.

>Among the different types of Print Media, which one do you like best?
- Newspaper is what I like best among the other Print Medias because every information there is complete, it's cheap and very informative. Newspaper has been the first and longest medium that is used by people all over the world that's why I can say that most people are more used to this compared to the other mediums. Plus, it's not all news because there's also other segments on the newspaper that you can get information to that can add to your knowledge.
