Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of Barangay Tandang Sora continued Day 3 of Project W.R.I.T.E. (Workshop on Responsible Information and Truthful Expression)โ€“a journalism boot campโ€“at Melchora Aquino High School's (MAHS) Multi-Purpose Court on Saturday, July 18.

The program officially began with Mobile Journalism facilitated by Mr. Joseph Soriano, Master Teacher I and School Paper Adviser (SPA) of Eugenio Lopez Jr. Center for Media Arts Sr. High School, who described mobile journalism as a "rock star" for being a small version of TV Broadcasting because it combines scriptwriting, video production, editing, and reporting using only a smartphone.

Mr. Paul del Rosario, Media Information Officer II of Philippine Fisheries Development Authority and Secretary of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), shared his expertise in Photojournalism, emphasizing how it tells news story through photographs that either report or stand alone to deliver clear, real information.

Program continues with Radio Broadcasting led by Mr. Nuelan Magbanua, SPA of the School of St. Anthony, who pointed out that a radio broadcaster should deliver news clearly and accurately so that listeners can understand and have facts without errors.

The final lecture featured Science Writing, which was facilitated by Mr. Emmanuel Halabaso Jr., Teacher III and SPA of Jose P. Laurel Sr. High School, who discussed the basics of Science Writing and that content should be applicable to daily living, based on scientific evidence, and not founded on personal beliefs or unverified claims.

The final day of Project W.R.I.T.E. will culminate with the Barangay-level Schools Press Conference (BSPC), which will be held at MAHS on Saturday, July 25.
