(Applied Communication
Department). These com-
panies gave different in-
sights, exposure and
awareness for respective
field of specialization of
students so that they would
be ready for work.
The five-day educational
tour for me was worth it and
interesting. We were lucky
because everybody en-
joyed the tour and we were
happy because we met the
main objectives; 1.) to con-
duct study tour and expo-
sure tour for 41 AB Com-
munication students and 20
AB English students in UP
LB and Metro Manila for (5)
days, 2.) to promote aware-
ness on the relevance of
the places visited to their
It was the first education-
al tour of the Bachelor of
Arts in English 4 and Bache-
lor of Arts in Communication
Arts 3 and 4. However,
there‟s a second thought on
his mind whether we will join
or not because of financial
problem which happened to
some of us before we get
included in the list for those
who will join the tour. It start-
ed on November 28 and
lasted until December 2,
2010. The tour participants
visited different companies;
National Broadcasting Net-
work (NBN-4), Greater Ma-
nila Area (GMA-7), Manila
Bulletin, Manila Broadcast-
ing Company (MBC), and
Philippine Council for Agri-
culture, Forestry and Natural
Resources Research and
Development (PCARRD)

tour, 4.) expose the stu-
dents on the recent learn-

the itinerary was not followed
and there were little argu-

and successful. And for the
students, it was a good expe-
rience and enjoyable for eve-

There are many proba-
bilities- water comes back to
shore, not necessarily the
same water, not necessarily
the same shore, belonging
to one same set.” Just like
the experience we had in our
first ever Educational Tour,
the happiness we felt cannot
be replaced by money or
anything. Some said that
they can go there whenever
they wanted to go but come
to think of it, they cannot
experience the very same
feelings that we had. - Char-
maine F. Jandusay/ Ab-

Waking up early at No-
vember 29, Monday, was
very unusual for me. It is
like a tricky test on how fast
I can move! I got irritated
because the other students
who were with us in the
room, they were so slow
that Bujoy, Bujhei and I had
to be together in the shower
room. After fixing ourselves
we went down stairs for
breakfast. Around 8:00
o‟clock in the morning we
went to Manila Cathedral to
offer some prayers and took
pictures. Other students
rode on “kalesa”. Finally
after waiting for them we
have to move on to our
next destination which is
the PBB House, but unex-
pectedly we were trapped at
the park
and the
policeman
caught our
driver be-
cause his
license has
already
been ex-
pired. Any-
way, we
stopped
near the park to wait for ate
Jelaine because she is go-
ing to give money to Zalyn
for her allowance. After a
small conversation with the
policeman we moved on.
Even
though
we were
late, our
driver
gave us a
trip in
front of
PBB
House.
We took
pictures
and then
we went
to UP
Diliman.
We came late
that‟s why we did-
n‟t spend so much
time there; there‟s
no time for us to
roam around.
Take note of
this, our instruc-
tor Mr. RTN
accompanied us
in the C.R. be-
cause we have
to pee. How
thoughtful of
him. We went to
SM north Edsa
where had our
lunch. After we
ate our lunch we went to
Cinema 9. We waited for so
long because we‟re going to
watch 4C (four contempo-
rary plays in one). It‟s fine to
wait because the play was
worth so much. We learned
a lot in that four contempo-
rary plays. Each play was
day 1: nov. 29/ monday
worth so much. We learned a
lot in that four contemporary
plays. Each play has different
theme: love for a friend, self
and country. After the play,
each group went to different
destination for dinner. - Chris-

Nowadays, many peo-
ple believe that love does
not exist in our contempo-
rary world. However, the
Philippines Stagers Foun-
dation showed that love
cannot be disregarded. It
always lingers to each of
us. They showed that love
still exist on their stage play
entitled “4C” (Four Contem-
porary Plays). It is a single
stage performance consist-
ing four different stories with
the theme “LOVE”.
The first story is entitled
“Fan” which is a story of a
young boy who hide his real
identity as a gay to his fami-
ly. Only his girl best friend
knows his secret. He is a
big fan of a Korean Actor on
a poster which stands on
his room. He fantasized and
idolized the actor in the
poster very much and imag-
ined as his boyfriend. Until
the time comes that the
poster and the gay issue
leads to a fight between him
and his best friend. That
fight made him realize many
things like the love for his
best friend and his family.
He realized that the love for
his best friend is more im-
portant than his homosexu-
al love for the actor in the
poster.
The next story is about a
girl who is searching for true
love. It is entitled “Romeo
Loves Juliet”. Juliet is a
vulgar – typed girl who
wants to find love no matter
how hard it is. Until she met
a guy on “Facebook” and
they end up on an eye ball.
She fell in love easily with
Romeo and shows who she
really is. She never hesi-
tates to show her real feel-
ings towards Romeo. At
that time Juliet thinks that
Romeo is the one, her true
love and the right guy for
her. However, it broke her
heart when Romeo left her
and sent her a text mes-
sage saying that she is very
funny but he does not like
her and everything was just
a joke. The message of the
play is that before we love
others, we should love our
self first.
The third story is a differ-
ent kind of love. It is the
love for our country. It is
entitled “Judas’ Lair” which
is a story of brothers who
have different political per-
spectives: Tony, being a
descendant of their father
who is not after the pro-
gress of the nation but on
the legacy of their family
and Edward, a patriotic Fili-
pino who wants to change
the political system in the
country.
The last story is mixed
with love for the opposite
sex and the love for own
country. It is entitled
“Felipa” which is about a
woman who is believed
exorcised by an evil. His
husband who is deeply in
love with her tries to save
her from her agony and
asked a quack doctor to
cure her wife. According to
the doctor the only way to
save his wife is through
death. He hesitates but
when he saw that his wife is
suffering so much he shoot
himself and died not know-
ing that it was just a plan
between her wife and the
quack doctor who happens
to be her father. Felipa be-
ing in love with her husband
confided that it was her who
killed her husband because
she loves her country more
“4C” (Four Contemporary Plays in one)
than her husband.
The four stories shows
different kinds of love; love
for family, love for friends,
love for the country, love for
one‟s self, love for God and
love for opposite sex. It
shows that no matter what
happen, no matter what our
past is, no matter who we
are and where we are we
will still love and love and
love because we do not
know where and when will
love strikes us. But one fact
will remain that love still exist
and it will always exist. - Ma.

One of the TV stations
that I feel accommodated
us very well during our
study tour is the NBN-4.
National Broadcasting Net-
work or NBN-4 is a govern-
ment station which basically
focuses on national issues
unlike other TV stations
which focus more on enter-
tainment and commercials.
When I step out of our ser-
vice van, as I look at the
building of the NBN-4 I did-
n‟t see it as a TV station
otherwise it looks like a
hospital or a college build-
ing. As we go inside, we‟re
grouped into two because
the studio can‟t accommo-
date us all at once. I belong
to second batch where we
wait for about an hour. The
lengthy wait was worth it
because of the knowledge
that our tour facilitator
shared with us, and also my
burning curiosity was satis-
fied regarding what happens
inside the station
As a Marinduqueño, we are
lucky because one of the
“bosses” of NBN-4 came from
Marinduque and she gave us
access to have an OJT on
their station. It‟s good news
for our fellow 3rd year Com-
munication Arts student that
will undergo training this com-
ing summer. As I remember
the tour facilitator said some
of the student who has under-
gone training in their station
landed jobs in different big
station in the country. How I
wish, we, A.B Communication
-4 students could also have
an OJT or experience working
on NBN-4 so we can apply
our knowledge about our field
of specialization and hopefully
land a job related to our
course.

The Inside Scoop: NBN-4
Page 5 N E T W O R K N E X U S
V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 6
Tuesday, we went to
NBN channel4. This time
we were wearing our uni-
forms. That time I wanted to
escape. But, I did not do
that. NBN is faced to the
BAI compound and the way
inside is heading to my
auntie‟s house. Nothing, I
just want to go there but
there is no time. We en-
tered inside by group be-
cause the studio couldn‟t
accommodate us all. The
studios are not that big for
all of us. It was great. One
thing I learned is their tran-
sition of works.
Next to it we went to
GMA7. We were expecting
to see their artist and tal-
ents but we did not. We
took pictures again because
we could take nothing but
pictures. We went on their
studios from the smallest
(studio1) to the biggest
(studio7). According to our
guide studio 7 is the largest
studio in the Philippines.
After of the sight on their
studios, we realized that the
studios were not really
beautiful unless they were
all set up, decorated and
given designated lights.
Then, from the network we
went to Trinoma and we ate
our dinner. We modeled our
uniforms. According to
those who greeted us our
uniform is cute in the eyes
and it looks sexy. Gle, Nest,
Ana and I went to the Sky
Garden. We took pictures
while imitating the pose of
the fairy displayed there.
We went to the book store.
They bought Bob Ong’s
book. I bought two diction-
day 2: nov. 30/ tuesday
aries for my brother and
sister. Then, Gle and I
made fun on the elevator.
We rode there just from 3rd
floor to 2nd floor. The guide
inside of it asked us where
to go but we went outside of
the elevator and laughed
out loud. Then we went
back to the dorm to rest, but
we continued making fun
with so much laughter.-

He who laughs so nice,
he who makes us laugh, he
who throws corny jokes, he
who entertains and he who
plays our requested songs -
--who is he? He is Mr. DJ.
We were on our third day
of educational tour when we
met famous Disc Jockeys of
well known FM stations in
the country. We got a
chance to talk to the DJs of
Yes FM and Love Radio of
Manila Broadcasting Com-
pany. Of course, there were
aspiring DJs in our group
who asked: “What are the
characteristics a DJ must
posses?”
I am sure you know
Totoy Bato and Maria Mal-
dita of Yes FM. How about
Rico Panyero of Love Ra-
dio? They told us that the
following are the qualifica-
tions to be a Disc Jockey:
• Observant. A DJ should
observe things around him
so that he can tell some-
thing interesting in his adlib.
• Naughty mind. A DJ
should explore his imagina-
tion to get his listeners‟ at-
day 3: dec. 1/ wednesday
tention. He should assume
things that his listeners may
think.
• Sharp voice will do. Be-
ing a DJ does not require to
have a baritone voice.
Sharp voice will get the
attention of the listeners.
Nicoleyala has a sharp
voice that makes her pro-
gram alive.
• Unique character. Every-
one has its own character to
be emphasized. He maybe
a talkative one, serious,
humorous or the combina-
tion of the said characters.
It is also important that a DJ
has a punchline that the
listeners would hear every-
time he talks on air. Mr. Fu
has “Meganon?”
Maybe some of you aspire
to be one. So start to devel-
op these characters and
entertain us. Hope to hear
you on air, soon! - Rhoeline

Routines in the morning
and today we‟re in our soci-
ety shirts. The mobilization
for the budget cut happened
this day.
We went to Manila Bulletin
and our guide was Mr. Rey
Pacheco. We watched a
video clip about the history
of Manila Bulletin and then
entered the place where the
process of printing and
packaging happen. I am
amazed with the huge ma-
chine that can make hun-
dred fifty copies over an
hour. It is a Mitsubishi ma-
chine from Japan and it
costs million dollars. Mr.
Nobleza was not with us
because he went to the
National Library to get Inter-
national Standard Serial
Number (ISSN) for the
newsletter but he lend me
his digital camera to take
pictures inside while he‟s
away.
We had our lunch in the fast
food chain
near Star City.
After eating,
we stayed in the parking lot
and waited for out time to
visit Manila Broadcasting
Company. Mr. Nobleza
gave us a lecture about
literary techniques that we
could use in our writing
class. I am aware that today
is the mobilization of differ-
ent state universities and
colleges protesting about
the budget cut in the educa-
tion. It‟s a big threat in our
education fund and in our
future that‟s why they come
up with a protest. It hap-
pened around 1pm in the
Senate hearing on the 2011
budget. I received a text
message from the president
of CEGP Southern Tagalog
Roge Gonzales but unfortu-
nately we didn‟t participate
in this protest because
we‟re not allowed and we
just can‟t. I just ran in the
street where they made
their way going to Congress
and took pictures. We went
back and resumed the dis-
cussion.
We decided to visit the Cul-
tural Center of the Philip-
pines because we‟re bored
waiting for the other group
to come out of MBC. I had a
terrible headache but I just
ignored it and enjoyed the
visit in CCP because only
elite person have the privi-
lege to enter and have
passes in the complex so I
considered myself lucky to
see what‟s inside. I ob-
tained Yo Cards for free
and got some for Ms. Osac-
din as a souvenir. At long
last, our turn to have a tour
tour inside MBC came. We
just visited different radio
stations namely Love Ra-
dio, Yes Fm, Easy Rock,
DZRH and Radyo Natin.
We learned few history and
information about the sta-
tion and then we took pic-
tures.
We are supposed to be in
Star City and Mall of Asia
but since misunderstand-
ings happened with some
glitches in the itinerary, we
just head back to the dormi-
tory to have our dinner and
rest for tomorrow‟s trip.-

This is the last day of
our tour. Bye bye Manila.
We left the dormitory early,
around 5:00 in the morn-
ing. We travelled without
any foods in our stomach,
neither coffee nor bread.
But our tour adviser gave us
bread to eat… I shared to
them my „Cheese Whiz‟
spread…and then I realized
there is no bread left for
Sir… fortunately, I also
have bread. We stopped in
Petron (drive-thru) in San
Pablo to buy foods for our
lunch. I bought coffee in
Starbucks. The cashier
asked for my name so I
answered her question say-
ing I am Glecery. But she
found it so hard to under-
stand. She asked me 6
more times about my name.
What‟s wrong about my
name? Asking me same
questions many times short-
ened my long patience. So
annoying. Then, she asked,
“How do you spell it ba
Ma‟am?”. Nobody is perfect,
so I spelled it right away.
We went to PCARRD in
Los Baños. As what I‟ve
seen outside the van, La-
guna is endowed with abun-
dant natural resources.
There are many beautiful
types of scenery we can
see while we‟re in our trip.
So, in PCARDD, I am
really amazed in the beauty
of nature I can see here. It
really captured my heart. It
is really so beautiful in my
eyes. How I wished, I could
see beautiful sceneries like
that not only in Laguna but
all over the country. The
staff of PCARDD informed
us its importance in our
society and they also
shared their knowledge
about PCARDD.
Next route? We went to
UP Los Baños. The souve-
nirs along the way caught
my eyes. I bought many
souvenirs because it is not
only beautiful but also
cheep and anyone could
afford to buy those souve-
nirs. We watched their vid-
eo about our environment
and we also stroll around the
campus and took pictures.
Nature is really refreshing.
There is a falls inside the
campus and a river. The cold
fresh air can be heard as if
whispering that it is the time
to save mother earth from
hazardous elements.
Subsequently, we went to
UP Natural History Museums
where consists of maintained
biological and zoological
specimens, wood samples;
by-products of microorgan-
ism, and also thousands of
living plants and trees pre-
served in a separate loca-
tion. There are also pre-
served fetuses of different
living things but the most eye
-catchy thing there is the
fetuses of human, fetus of a
child – from 1month old up to
8 months old. Based on what
I‟ve read above the fetus
day 4: dec. 2/ thursday
Lucena. Too early for the
departure of the ship, we
went to SM Lucena to window
shop. Afterwards, we went to
Talao-talao port to ride on a
ship.
I did not sleep in the ship. I
just chatted with my friends
there. And I also talked to
some policemen based in the
province. I met them long
time ago that‟s why I know
them. Sir Chavez asked me if
I can still remember what he
taught me about studying.
Yes! I can still remember it
„cause it already stucked in
my mind. It is the 3 tech-
niques in study --- haba ng
leeg, talas ng mata at bilis ng
pagsulat. ^_^ . Don‟t take it
seriously, it‟s just a joke. =)
And now, I‟m home!!!
My home is a place where
my life begins.
