Maria Fermina Joyce C. Nucum, CASS           

       College of Arts and Social Sciences communication faculty once again extended its services at Guevara High School wherein fifteen student-journalists of the said school won during their Press Conference                Municipal level. They went through rigid pen-pushing exercise in a one-day coaching and mentoring workshop on campus journalism held on September 24, 2019 at Guevara High School Laboratory room.

            The Communication Department designed the coaching and  mentoring workshop  to equip  the  talented and competitive Guevara High School student-journalists with the fundamental journalism skills not only for their preparation in their upcoming Press Conference District level competition but also skills that are necessary for school publication, and school chores.

            After the communication faculty checked the different articles written by the student-journalists, they were coached individually, to ensure the journalist understand and applies the different principles and techniques in writing that were taught to them.

            “This kind of activity is quite important for our students to learn from experts in the field of writing and journalism since they can use it not only during the competition but also to all their endeavors as  student-journalists. We would also like to teach our student-journalists that they have the great duty of instilling the values of responsible journalism to their fellow students, thus they must equip themselves and keep on improving their skills, said Ms. Medina S. Eusebio, school paper adviser”.

        “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future" John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Given legitimate direction, these children may turn our future for our nation's advancement. In any case, there are several numbers of instances of children who are getting associated with different violations, such as unlawful medications, burglary, assault, and various abominable crimes. The Tarlac State University – Gender and Development in partnership with Counseling, Testing and Career Center (CTCC) and Gerona Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) fabricated the “Alay Gabay Project” for the welfare of the Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) and Children at Risk (CAR) of the Municipality. This project was cultivated due to the increasing number of cases of Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) with a total of forty-four (44) cases and twenty-five (25) Children at Risk (CAR) who allegedly perpetrated crimes in the diverse barangays in the Municipality. Consequently, the Tarlac State University meditated strategies on how to address the necessities of the recipients to actualize psychological interventions for the CICL and CAR. The aforementioned-project was made possible through the endeavors of the project-leader, Ms. Laarni T. Capinding of the Counseling, Testing and Career Center and a faculty of Psychology Department, College of Arts and Social Sciences just as the co-venture pioneers, Dr. Rita E. Pulmano, Dr.Rodrigo M. Sicat, and Dr. Editha Q. Villavicencio. Likewise, the project began last November 2017and it will proceed until May 2019 for completion. “Alay Gabay” was the name of this project which suggests giving and offering guidance for identified CICL and CAR from the Municipality of Gerona which means, for the most part, the promotion of psychological well-being of the CICL/CAR through the conveyance of psychological and counseling services.Besides, the project is likewise intended to conduct orientation among the CICL/ CAR, their parents/guardians, the Gerona MSWD, the Local Government Unit representatives and barangay officials to empower inclusion and dynamic cooperation in the undertaking; to conduct service learning sessions among the CICL/CAR to improve self-awareness; to conduct psychological testing and intake interview among the CICL/CAR to be able to screen for potential participation on either individual or group counselling; and capacity building and program development and seminar-workshops among the Barangay Officials and LGU Officials to encourage gainful and significant life among the adolescents. Through the incalculable endeavors of the committed faculty members and personnel of the university, the first phase of the Project was made successful and it will continue to help the GeronaMunicipal Social Welfare and Development to eliminate numerous Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) and the Children at Risk (CAR) by providing series of seminar-workshop for the parents of CICL and CAR, psychological tests, series of group counseling, seminar on handling youths, and wellness and self-care.
