The Academe Invitation

A PUP VISIT OCTOBER 7, 2014

Weeks ago, I had an invitation from a close-friend (Mam Lala), whom I met at UP Diliman while we we’re taking our Masteral’s degree there in 2001. Lala is now currently teaching at  Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), College of Communications...and the invites was mainly for the purpose of being one of the panelist for her students submitting a thesis proposal on one of her subject..."Quantitative and Qualitative research.
Without thinking twice, I nodded on it. First, teaching in the academe was my second love. Back then I was a former College Professor teaching Mass Communication students at the Roosevelt College System in Cainta, Rizal. But it won't happened without the opportunity given to me by Dr. Paz Diaz or known by many as Mam Paz ( again thank you ♡!)
Second, I always love to share my wisdom and knowledge in understanding how media works especially on students specializing on it.
At first, I got so overwhelmed with the number of students Mam Lala at the time was handling...if my memory still serves me well they're more than 40.
And also suprised with number of groups I have to listen as well.
If most of the students were nervous about their chosen thesis proposals...I 'm at one point bothered on how I will contribute on their studies. But my job at the time became so manageable with the inputs coming from Mam Lala.
I have to admit, most of the students who presented that day had a very interesting topic to listen to...and I too had learned a lot from them.
And the latter part became so unforgettable because there was no need for us to audition to became "stars," we had our group pictorials after!
Goodluck guys, study hard and dream BIG. 'Til we all meet again.
And again, thank you Mam Lala!
