From Japan with Love

devcom — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:41:00 +0000

Hello everybody! It's been a long time since I have opened this page, and I'm sorry I haven't done a good job at maintaining it. Chalk it up to a lot of "intervening activities" back then. Recently, however, I have been told that there is a desire at continuing this page, and I was just happy to have somebody else do it.And then, of course, since as of the moment, I am already a history in the Department ;-).

I am writing this, from the Land of the Rising Sun. And as I am doing so, I am reminded of the wonderful (as well as not so wonderful) moments of my stay at the Department. There were so many, so many that I don't even know where to begin. Cliche.

Anyway, I intended this to be an article about how fulfilling it is to be a devcom practitioner or some stuff like that, but a sudden wave of nostalgia hit me and I no longer know what to write down. Suffice it to say though, that I had a great time! I hope my former students and colleague had the same great time with me too. If the next moderator of this page would still allow it, I will try to contribute some articles (that is, if I ever find the inclination and inspiration to write a better one than this sorry excuse of an article), hoping to provide some other perspective on communication, education and/or development work, based on some observations I might have in this foreign country.

Good luck to the next moderator of this page! Good luck to all who chose devcom! I miss you all!

2006 BSU DevCom Plugs

devcom — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:23:00 +0000

We would like to share to you the plugs that the students made during their internship in Buguias, Benguet. We only had one laptop and a mobile phone that we used to record dialogues. We used audacity to edit the audio. These plugs were aired in the following community radio stations: Radyo Natin- Buguias, Benguet; Radyo Natin- Bontoc; and Radyo ng Bayan-Bontoc, Mt. Province.

The Interns we handled helped each other in recording and editing their plugs. They have had sleepless nights and we are proud that they were able to come up with this collection that we are going to share with you.

(NOTE: We were all first timers in using audacity--- and it was fun.)

Internship Instructors: Marife D. Carpio and Sheryl I. Fernando

The new "development communication"

devcom — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:24:00 +0000

February 11, 2008

Nora Quebral, in 1971, defined development coomunication as “the art and science of communication applied to the speedy transformation of a country and the mass of its people from poverty to a dynamic state of economic growth that makes possible greater social equality and the larger fulfillment of the human potential”. As she revealed in her article "Development Communication in a Borderless World" she has become less ambitious in her old age thus reconstructing her definition of the field as "the art and science of human communication linked to a society’s planned transformation from a state of poverty to one of dynamic socio-economic growth that makes for greater equity and the larger unfolding of individual potential (2001)."
