Wako Wako visits ABS-CBN employees

Last Thursday, Wako Wako himself made ABS-CBN employees delight as he visited different divisions inside ABS-CBN Compound.

Started 12 nn., Wako Wako first appeared in DZMM TeleRadyo. As the radio guesting has ended, he then directed to ABS-CBN Newsroom where he was pulled to appear in ANC’s Dateline Philippines LIVE!

As we were waiting for Wako Wako’s arrival at 9^th floor of ELJ Bldg., I saw a clip from his guesting in Dateline Philippines and shown it to other employees, including of Legal Department.

We were shocked at Wako Wako’s mascot version because he is small but has a big head. But when he’s at our office, he's so cute!

At first, I wanted to have a photo with Wako Wako, but I gave the chance to the kids whose waiting for him since morning. But thank God I had one!

Here’s our photo with Wako Wako.

Subject in College that doesn't matter, matters

There was a subject in College that I use to hate – buying a specific newspaper’s weekly copies, read all its sections and ANALYZE!

It was really, really boring, though. I have with me groupmates that doesn’t exist, and me doing the group work alone.

Never thought this school project is really a job! Yes, it’s a job! You will be paid monthly for rendering a job like this, which is to summarize and analyze what newspaper writers/columnists say about a thing,  a person, a network, etc.

College days.

Editorial and Column writing. It was one of our major subjects in College that help Journalism students (like me) to translate thoughts into a column.

In this matter, we are tasked to do editorial writing about a specific topic and analyze it through looking into our own ideas. Every Wednesday, if I can still remember, upon our professor’s arrival, we will pass on our paperworks. Each one of us will be relieved when we passed it.

Media Literacy and Studies. From column writing to case study thingy. This subject taught me how to critic a movie. I was the one who bought a laptop and speakers for a class to watch a movie (forgot the title). But it was about a doctor who chooses to be “Doctor to the Barrio.”

Enough.

My point is, by having those subjects in College, I am unaware that I have a glimpse of what a Media Monitoring Assistant is doing– and now it is my job!
