Realizing its dream of producing a competent manpower, the Bureau of Fire Protection, particularly its Public Information Services office, headed by CINSP HONEE FRITZ A ALAGANO, will conduct a seminar on Basic Journalism on November 5, 2010 at the BFP-NHQ conference room in Quezon City.
The seminar will focus primarily on news writing and photo journalism. At least 40 participants who are public information officers, drafters and photographers from different BFP regional offices are invited to join the activity. The lecture on news writing will be given by Mr. Chando P. Morallos who is a known author and a journalist. Atty. Jamael Jacob will be giving points and workshop on photo journalism.
BFP believes that this seminar will make a difference in the promotion of its personnel’s welfare specifically in career advancement. This will help in leveling up writers of the bureau to be more effective in information dissemination. Considering that BFP is one of the government agencies concerning public safety, massive and effective information dissemination should be given priority. Journalism is one way of reaching out to the community to encourage groups and individuals to be part of the bureau’s mandate in saving lives and properties. Further, knowledge on basic journalism will somehow improve the skills of firefighters in dealing with write-ups and some documentaries. Through this, a more focus and systematic campaign on fire prevention and fire safety programs can easily be carried out to the public.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Fire Protection will continue to create and organize trainings and seminars to improve its manpower thus, advancing the quality of its service and achieving the realization of a modern agency.-30- BFP
