State of the Nation Address



Mid 2010, President Noynoy Aquino delivered his State Of the Nation Address to the people of the Philippines as the Country's president, giving promises and stating what he will do for the country. Once again he made his speech last July of this year and allow the public to know of his accomplishment for his one year of being the country's leader.
It is a good thing to know what improvements has been done during his year of administration, and a great thing to know if all of this are positive. But what is not good is, if you boast for something you can not be held accountable for. Like for the increase in the distribution of rice production which he says it was his doing that made this possible. This happens because of the expansion of harvest area, not because of anyone's doings...
Personally, I really don't like how P-Noy talks, the way he delivers his speeches. It might be that I do not like politics or might be because of how he is kind of boasting when he speaks.
I know that it is wrong to judge people by how they act, talk or hate them for some reasons that is so unfair because they do not wish to be in that situation. What I should do for now, and better than doing anything, is to observe and pray for the betterment of our country...

Future career of MassCom grad: Call Center Agents?



In the fast-pace world, wherein you see the development and improvement of the outside world, not only the four walls of the classroom, do you think you are ready to face the challenges?
We are now living in a world dominated by call centers which offers bigger salaries than the other jobs, than the jobs that are related to our course. Yes, let us face the facts that we have chosen a field where hunger thrives and you will be lucky enough if you will be able to eat thrice a day or will give you doubts if you can have your own family and raise them properly.
And yes, we Mass Communication students have the advantage if we pursue and aim to be a call center agents, because we are trained to communicate and this kind of thing will only be easy for us.
But, will this be the only basis for us to go this way? To be a call center agent? Not a broadcaster, a disc jockey, a journalist, editor, cameraman, etc. etc. etc...?
I don't think so... We have strive hard enough to finish this course, doesn't matter whether you have stayed 3 to 4years or even more. The fact that you have taken this subject means something. It means that you have chosen Mass Communication as your course because you want to, you have a dream. So don't let anyone or anything to deprive you in pursuing your dream. Live your dreams! And don't let all the years you've gone to school, all the knowledge you have learned, and all the efforts and hard work you have made be gone to waste by just being a call center agent...
