My Media Baby Ka Ba? Lessons – Sugid Team shares their journalism (Module 1) experience

“Spread the good values from the church not only in the newspapers, but also through the social media. We, Catholics must be alert ourselves kung ano na ang mga nangyayari sa paligid natin. We must be united and stand for the truth.” – Janelle | CFC Youth for Christ | Digos

“I’ve learned that social communication is important in spreading the Good News. I’ve also learned that good news is always good. I’ve realized that instead of posting ‘hugot quotes,’ I should rather posts inspiring messages like Word of God.” – Janna Mae Uy | Holy Cross of Malita

“We need to utilize different social media to spread the news. Indeed, we are a sleeping giant as church. We need to wake up the giant in us. We need to impart Christ like values especially to our fellow Catholics so that they may not go astray.” – Angel H. Barot | Mary Mediatrix Cathedral

“Media is an important tool in spreading the message of the Church. That’s why we need media.“ – JhanRian V. Placibe | Brgy. Demoloc, Malita

“I have learned that we shouldn’t keep the “Good News” to ourselves but spread it and let everyone know about him. Social communication is a way and a bridge to this revolution. Per se, we should use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to tell of this great love and evangelize people in any means possible and in our own little way. We should be catalysts of change. Change for the betterment of everyone. Altogether, let us patronize, unite, support, and systematize in proclaiming the Good News!” – Jans Arianne S. Jumawan | CFC-Youth for Christ

“I realized that there is really a need to develop and expand all means of communication in spreading the values and techniques that the Catholic Church upholds. I am now mindful of my online post if its in the line with the Christian way of thinking.” – John Carlo Mibulos

“The media influences our actions so that we need to be responsible in posting online/social media.” – Maribeth V. Gabia

“I have learned today that what we are doing right now is not just our own mandate but it is the mandate of the church and even to its root, the Vatican II. I have learned that given the legal basis, the Catholic church particularly in our province have responded but fell short in reaching out to the very least of our brothers. This session has been so far become an invitation for commitment. Commitment to reach out and spread the word of God and the activities of the church. I learned the responsibilities.” – Blaze Cantaros | Sta. Cruz

“You have to know the story behind the news or the ’emotionally engaging part of the story’. Our world is really changing. Before it was just so simple, but now it’s already covered with the bad influences of the social media. We should ask the media to spread the good news instead of the bad news.” – Eula Faye

“I’ve learned that to spread the news it must be good news; the truth itself and not bad news.” – Sherwin Preglo | Sulop

“I’ve realized that spreading the message of Jesus is best and effective if it is done using the internet.” – Jocel Lagamon | Padada Youth Apostolate

“All I know yesterday is a mere fact of an invitation to a journalism workshop, and I was surprised. Perhaps, God called me to this workshop to learn more about my power in social media access, so as to utilize this power in spreading the gospel. From the first speaker, Dr. Cheryl A Vilog, associate editor, I have learned the ways, to engage a reader, by using the truth as a source. Would cause something that emotional revolution.” – Jaiy Hingco | CFC-YFC Digos

“I’ve learned that we Catholics are taking initiative in coping up in today’s modernization like using internet, TV and radio.” – Alexander C. Gonzales | Matanao

“I’ve learned that media influences all of us and have a big part in developing us in terms of material and spiritual.” – Jovelle Dela Cruz

“I learned that we the Catholics need to wake up and spread out the word of God through the Catholic Media. In this way, we can express our emotions under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and be the model of our parishioners not only in words, but also in action.” – Jocelyn Basunillo | Malita
