Effective cam-

paign strategy and suf-ficient disseminationof information areamong the parameters,

which portray an im-portant role in an elec-tion phase, the re-cently concluded Cen-tral Student Councilseemed lacking. Dur-ing the campaign pe-

riod, students re-mained naïve of theoccurrence until candi-dates resorted to flyers

while providing the voters‘ schema on whom they should vote for, were ignoredby some that contrib-uted a not-so-sanitary environment in the

campus. Furthermore,setting the debate, an

event wherein Thoma-

sians would more likely know the candidates, wasnot strategically sched-uled. Truth be told, theelections was on shortnotice. The event which

was supposed to signify our rights as a citizen of ademocratic country andstudent of the Thomasiancommunity.

Those who areresponsible failed to suf-fice the public with ade-quate information withregards to the election.Setting aside all of this,the Central StudentCouncil is meant to bethe official representation

of the students by thestudents is to heed the

body. If they catch the voter‘s attention, what

more can they be if the candidates failedto meet their expecta-tions, what more canthey do by the timethey are seated in thecouncil already? Even

if time constraints arepresent, there are al-ternative ways to reachout to the masses ef-fectively. Perhaps,their best wasn‘t

enough and they haveto strive harder toprove themselves wor-thy to be called our

leaders in the future.

A Visit to the Nation‟s Oldest Newspaper By JESSICA KHRISTA M. BARCELO

Have you ever won-dered how newspapers aremade and how they are pro-duced? Last February 25, 2011

we, Freshmen Journalism stu-dents explored the Manila Bul-letin in Muralla cor. Recollectos,Intramuros, Manila to find outthe answers.

At the beginning of thetour, we were lead to the mainentrance of the said corporation

where we saw the Manila Bulle-tin‘s name, a replica of a rare15th century printing machine,and also their other other publi-cations like magazines whichfeature sports, fashion, cuisine,pets, and others to tabloids(Tempo and Balita) and theirPanoramas.

We then proceeded inan audio visual room which

The Manila Bulletin‟s logo and its variations of news in-formation.

showed the Manila Bulletin‘s time line beginning from its first publication down to its current projectsand contributions in our society.

The said newspaper was established by Car-son C. Taylor on 1901 having its maiden name TheDaily Bulletin and changed its name to Manila Daily Bulletin on 1906. When the WWII broke out, theoffice and their plant were destroyed. Their publica-

tion of news resumed on 1946 and they transferredtheir office in Intramuros, Manila after 10 years. On

1965, the newspaper started toprint Sunday issues and after 3years, they published their firstPanorama, which still continuesas a Sunday insertion of theirnewspapers today. The ManilaDaily Bulletin experienced hard-ship during Marcos‘ regime and

was shut down due to his procla-mation of Martial Law but re-opened after 2 months having anew name, The Bulletin Today.On 1980, they created their firsttabloid and on 1986, they changed their name as The Ma-nila Bulletin which we are famil-iar with. In 1994, they had theirfirst colored printing of newspapers, and then decided to ex-pand thus creating magazines.

Their first magazine was about Agriculture on 1997 followed by the publication of Sports digest

First Years‟ First Exposure Trip By MA. LAARNI S. MALLARI

―It is the true nature of mankind to learn from mis-takes, not from example.‖ -Fred Hoyle

Sometimes peopleneed not experience thingsto learn, we just need tolearn from others experi-ences. This is what I dis-covered when we had thisexposure trip in the New Bilibid Prisons for our sub-ject Sociology 101. To-gether with fellow freshmen

AB students our class hadthis one-shot opportunity to meet prisoners from the

Medium Security Camp. The inmate as-

signed to me told me a lotof things about his life, hismistake and how he is cop-ing up with it. He made the

worst mistake of his life when he killed a man who was allegedly courting his wife. At first he wasbrought to the MaximumSecurity Camp, but afterbehaving well, he was trans-ferred to the Medium Secu-rity Camp. He had a wifeand two daughters whomhe had never seen after he

was imprisoned. After a few

years he met a teacher whotaught him how to continuehoping and believing thatthere is still life after all thechallenges that are coming into his life. And now after17 years of being in prisonand studying the course of marketing he is hoping to begiven parole or be out maybein three years time.

This exposure tripmade me and my fellow

Thomasians break thestereotypical view of prison-ers, because of this trip welearned that there is more toinmates than what we see

through the different media.Inside the camp they study – from high school to dif-ferent courses in the college-, they develop differenttalents that they use in en-tertaining not only visitorsbut they also sometime visitdifferent places to perform – they even performed inthe UST Medicine Audito-rium and in the MalacañanPalace – and they also makemany merchandises to besold to visitors as their sou-

A Visit to the Nation‟s Oldest Newspaper on 1999. On 2000, it celebratedits centennial year and on thefollowing years, it developedmore by having its own website

where the access of new is eas-ier. It also stretched its publica-tion from different provinces,creating the Liwayway and theBisaya. Last year, the newspaper

expanded its use of technology by producing the country‘s first3-D issue. The Manila Bulletincould also be viewed onlinethrough its own iPad andiPhone applications.

After the Audio Visualpresentation, we went to theplace where their computerizedsystem can be found. It is theplace was where the creation,production and distribution of

the paper were done. We weregiven a chance to ask questions

and learned a lot from it. Wenow know that they release250,000 copies of newspaperduring weekdays and 300,000copies during weekends. In onehour, they can create 25,000copies of newspaper thru theuse of their machines. They don‘t use recycled paper and

they use imported ink for print-ing.

With all those said, TheManila Bulletin continues itsservice since 1900 up to thepresent by showing what cur-rent news is for everyone. Thetour helped us a lot for appreci-ating what our course really is.It showed us that behind every news, there are many proce-dures to be done before it is

considered as such.A view of the Manila Bulletin „s building in Intramuros where it iscurrently located since 1946.
