Week two of OJT journal would be very short since we had 3-day holy week break. Interns were not expected to write and pass their articles. On Monday, we were asked to do a research and a story about the growing issue of drug trafficking. Drug syndicates are using the Filipino workers in bringing illegal drugs abroad in exchange for money. To start the research, I first familiarized myself with the news articles regarding the most controversial issue of drug trafficking which was the one in China. I found myself reading a GMA News article which provided me numerous information on the issue, and to my surprise, the article carries a byline of JA.
On Tuesday we went to EDSA Shangri-La for the weekly Tuesday Club of journalists. They had former Chinese diplomats as their guests for the forum. We did not stay there for a long time since Star’s Associate Editor informed our trainer that she was already on her way to attend and cover the event. Instead, we went back to DFA Media Corps to check some articles and to have a lecture. During the lecture, DFA spokesman Eduardo Malaya came in to look for our trainer.
During the Holy Week, as what Ms. Brago said, I read some pages from the European Commission Evaluation guidelines. I also passed one extra article to make it three for that week, so that my time card will credit additional hours.
