Reminiscing the Past

January 19 - 28, 2011

Few days from now, I will end my internship. I could still remember the day when I went to the station to pass my requirements for internship. I was with Edmund then. It was my first time to visit the station and I don't have any clue of what will happen to me when I will submit my requirements to Sir Jerome. Luckily, I was accepted. It was one of my happiest days because I was able to complete the fifth slot. 

Anyway, this week I had the chance to be on-field with Sir Aaron, the video journalist and co-interns Angela, Malou, Jasmin, and Edmund. We don't have a senior reporter with us because some of them were still on-field and some were busy writing their stories. But, it was a good opportunity for us to be independent. We went to PRO-7 and interviewed P/Sr. Supt. Augusto Marquez Jr., the Chief of Regional Intelligence Division and P/Sr. Supt. Josephus Angan, the Chief of Staff. We interviewed them about the arrest of the three gunrunners who were involved in gunrunning activities in Poblacion, Cordova, Cebu and the confiscation of eleven assorted high-powered firearms. Three bundles of boodle money were also recovered. This is following the recent implementation of the suspension of permits to carry firearm outside residence in the island of Cebu during the Sinulog festivities. 

This is my first time to go on-field with no senior reporter. But, I am happy because I learned to be independent and to do things on my own without the supervision of my supervisors. I learned to fly on my own wings and took the challenge.
