That was still my elementary years when I began to
realize I was born to be a media man. I’ll be a journalist, broadcaster,
speaker, or any related media profession.
Since
the day I began to mimic what these people, under this profession whether in a
radio station or in a TV studio, I have also realized the essence of
broadcasting and public communication. I bear in my mind that I am going to be
such in order to be famous. Come my high school years and my growing passion
and desire to take a degree in communication in college began to sprawl my
dreams. But my dad wanted me to become an engineer. My mom sees me as an
architect, and my uncle, a navy, wanted me to follow his footsteps.
These
made me think deep: would these people want me to pursue these specific courses
because they think it will give me a better life than communication would?
Would they accept my decision, if I do have an option, to take my dream course?
Those
times were crucial. It was between what they wanted me to become in the next few
years, and my forever-and-ever dream course- a matter of choice that would
totally change my entire life and future. The journey has yet to begin. There
is no turning back whenever I made this great decision and I am aware of all
the consequences of this action.
My
place would probably the melting point of new and headlines. My hometown,
Albay, has always been in the limelight and coverage of media and broadcast
stations, local and nationwide. Issues ranging from local politics, calamities
such as the usual occurrence of typhoons, volcanic eruption, flood, landslide,
and earthquake, and various problems and conflicts within the vicinity of this
place: mining, climate change adaptation, corruption, clash of culture and
religion, political dynasty. These and other forms with journalistic or press
value and import have greatly shaped my ambitious choice to pursue
communication.

I
am a communication arts student. But because of my interest in radio and
television broadcasting, I am taking DEVC 30, Fundamentals of Community
Broadcasting, to experience the all-I-wanted-to-do and all-I-wanted-to-have
course when I was still a member of the DevCom family. When it comes to
choosing a major, it’s always been the apple of my eye. Though I am not a
DevCom student anymore, I always try to uphold its approach in everything I do
as a communication arts major. That is, to remember that communication is
always inclusive, to fulfil my duties as a communicator, bearing in mind that
it is a public service.
