Mr. Aniceto ‘Chito’ Sobrepeña, president of the Metrobank Foundation Inc.
(MBFI) awards the check of P70,000.00 (seventy thousand pesos) to PPI executive
director Ariel Sebellino to support its ongoing
outreach program for journalism and communications students.
It will fund
initially a half-day forum in Manila in cooperation with the Philippines
Communication Society (PCS) which will be in charge of inviting students and
teachers.
The PPI for the last two years has started engaging the
academic community to a separate activity known as the Scholastic Press Program
which already brought it in the cities of Davao, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, and
Cebu in partnership with its member-community newspapers for topics like
journalism ethics and excellence, press freedom and civic journalism.
The
said amount will be modestly spread across other areas that will be covered
this year such as Bacolod and Bulacan.
