Pillarican students proved that they have what it takes to be broadcasters as they attended in the radio broadcasting seminar-workshop on July 25 at Our Lady of the Pillar College – Cauayan’s Audio-Visual Room (AVR).

With the theme, “Empowering Pillarican Communities through Radio Broadcasting”, student representatives from the elementary until college participated in the event. The veteran radio broadcaster Domingo T. Fugaban was the resource speaker.

Fugaban taught the students on how to become an effective radio broadcaster through lectures, on-the-spot reporting drills, writing news manuscripts and broadcasting simulation. The students were able to know their strengths and room for improvements through Fugaban’s critiquing.

“Masaya [kasi] nagkaroon ako ng bagong learning about sa broadcasting at na-enhance ko pa yung skills ko pagdating sa bagay na yun at dapat responsible at disiplinado kang broadcaster kasi walang meaning ang pagiging broadcaster mo kapag hindi ka marunong sumunod sa instruction at makisama sa iba”, Jean MArie Marasigan, a Grade 12 student said in an interview.

Pillarican school paper advisers – The Pillar’s Voice (College Department- Felma M. Manligoy), The Pillar’s Herald (Senior High School- Raymus A. Sta. Cruz), The Pillar (Junior High School- Alison Jane D. Visaya) and The Little Pillar’s Voice (Elementary Department- Prexanne Mavis F. Cristobal) organized and collaborated the seminar-workshop.

Pillaricans look forward to apply everything they learned in OLPCC’s school-based radio station, Pillarican Sounds School Laboratory Radio which started operating on June.
