I received a call from our TFC Coordinator after a week notifying me that the Prod Team in Manila previewed my audition piece. It has been my ultimate wish to be part of this kind of organization and do what I really love! I had a mixed emotions that time and ask myself if I have done something great that I deserve what I am receiving? I started to open my room for improvements (a lot ha!)... And my passion plays a great role in this journey.
But I know how hard it is to be a correspondent (especially if you only have less resources) but the happiness it brings to your heart is really priceless!
I know as soon as you mention "Media" a lot will throw up negativity, anger, fear, bashers and bad vibes. I will never forget the first time the media approached me while in Kuwait. I was really excited! I was excited at the thought of getting a platform to share things that I believed were important with the world around me... It was an exhilarating feeling.
Why I am writing this? Well.. I think it is because of the word "hate" and it's association to "media". It seems to be something that has become more and more common on the internet and social medias. It makes me sad, I don't think it is fair and I believe it isn't representative of the people working in media.
But as the years of my journey have continued, and my experiences with people in media have occurred.. I have nothing but admiration for those working in the industry. It is inspiring to watch people dedicate their lives everyday for other people.
This is what happens. No Sleep? No Holidays? Personal issues in your life? Doesn't matter. What matters? Other people, their stories, their lives and helping make difference in them.
You wouldn't believe the personal battles people in media go through just to try and make a difference. It is beautiful, inspiring and something I admire.
Being part of Media Industry is really an amazing moment! They helped me share happiness, inspiration and love to the entire Filipinos. They gave me a chance to have a bigger voice...
There are probably so many people in media who have massive personal battles they are fighting. That is selflessness, that is admirable and that is inspirational.
I think sometimes people forget... the "media industry".. is made up of people. Why I write this? I just wanted to share something positive about those people. Because from what I am reading... there has been so much "hate" thrown at many of those people... many of those who really dedicate their lives to try and make positive differences in the lives of others.
I hope you choose to share something positive about them as well and the people working in every behinds. Because they certainly deserve it!
