HERITAGE

By Rogue

Earthline, the official and mother publication of Kalinga-Apayao State College conducted a training-workshop on campus journalism with the theme “Writing to Uplift One’s Organization” last September 6-7, 2007 at the KASC Main Library.

The training-workshop was organized by Sir Marciano Paroy Jr., Earthline Adviser and Mrs. Marilou Adora, the ITE Newsletter Adviser.

The workshop included a lecture on Developmental Journalism by Mrs. Perfelia Buen, the BOT Secretary and a DevCom Practitioner; Sportswriting by Mr. Giovanni Asbucan, the Newsette Adviser of Tabuk National High School; Editorials and Column writing by Mr. Estanislao Albano Jr., a Print Medium Practitioner of the Cordillera Administrative Region; Exposition in Feature writing by Ms. Fannaliza Sacki, an English Instructor and contributor to regional newspapers; The Interpersonal Communication Techniques by Mrs. Marilou Sawadan, a DevCom Instructor; The Law, The Institution and the Reading Public by Mr. Placido Alsiyang Jr., the Student Coordinator of Dagupan Campus and of course, the Basic of News Writing facilitated by our very own Heritage Adviser and the Editor-in Chief of the Guru Press, Sir Daniel Cagan.

Each lecture was followed by a workshop and participants had to make good on their pieces and articles because it was a competition were winners will be chosen as the best writers in every event.

There was one setback though. The Earthline adviser could not make it on the day of the training-workshop due unexpected circumstances but the workshop had to continue even without the presence of the Earthline Adviser.

IAS participants and writers came in full force headed by their Editor-in-Chief, Maria Phoenix Choa who also happens to be the Associate Editor for Dagupan Campus of the Earthline. Not wanting to be put at the last, IAS writers actively participated and gave their best in writing their articles which produced a good result.

Several writers of the IAS were chosen as one among the best writers in the different category. Our own Editor-in-Chief placed second on the Developmental Journalism category. Ms. Romie Ann Boy-ag together with Ms. Evangeline Dawagan, Mr. Santiago Wacas and Maria Phoenix Choa were chosen among the top ten best writers in the News writing category.

The awards and prizes were presented and given by Sir Daniel Cagan, Mrs. Marilou Sawadan and Ser Antoni Ramos the former Editor-in-chief of the Earthline.
All in all, the IAS writers had a job well done and the occasion itself was a success thanks to the effort of the organizers and facilitators of the said event.
