Media Engagement
Twenty-three years ago this paper
came out with its maiden issue the
moth-like act of a young idealist who
wanted to ironically plunge into the fire
that is community journalism. It was
a time when the ideals of EDSA like
press freedom, was being pursued and
translated into concrete actions through
the establishment of independent and
self-financed newspapers.
Ruben F.
Babar, our publisher who experienced
first-hand the Marcos Martial Law years
and its iron-grip hold on the media and
how this self-same sector bravely fought
the dictatorship, saw the importance and
role of a free press in nation-building.
And so Bikol Reporter was born on June
23, 1993.
After four presidents, and a new
one
whose
initial
abrasive
and
uncompromising stand on the media, the
Bikol Reporter reaffirms its commitment
to community journalism and press
freedom as a whole, by reporting the
unalloyed news and examining these
events with the trained eye and experience
which had gained this paper recognition
and respect.
We renew our promise to engage in a
constructive dialogue and criticism, that
as in the past, we will do with creativity,
and accurate, concise and clear
language; and our firm commitment to
the development of the Bikol region.
We take these commitments upon
ourselves so that in the words of Dylan
Thomas and immortalized in the movie,
Independence Day, we will not go gently
into the night.

Our incoming president knows how
to play his winning cards. He is aware
of the public clamor for the eradication
of drugs, crime, graft and corruption.
People got him elected on his promises
on these issues. So long as the rationale

Long Live
BIKOL REPORTER!
It takes a Ben Babars courage and the hard work and
dedication of a Belen to make BIKOL REPORTER, a newspaper of twenty-three years. A very credible newspaper
which had been awarded as Outstanding Local Newspaper
for five consecutive years by the St. Peter Baptist Catholic
Mass Media Awards. Need I say more?
I am more than happy to be a part of the publication even
when sometimes though I forget I have a column to maintain. Well, I ran out of ideas and ran short of time; my laptop
bogs down or we do not have internet service at home. Mea
culpa! My thanks to Frank Peones who introduced me to
Bikol Reporter.
Publishing a weekly paper is no easy job. In Naga, it is a
remarkable that there are several papers. Bicol Mail is still
here, I remember Stephen (Steve) Sergio editing the paper
when he was just in his early twenties. He grew up to become a pillar in Philippine Journalism, he became a part of
Cory Aquinos media group. It was Steve who worked for my
membership of the National Press Club of the Philippines.
Ramon (Mon) Tolarams Naga Times was where I started
to write my regular column. During those times, very familiar
names in media, whether broadcast or print, were Bio-bio,
Ely Miranda, Leon Palmiano, Jr., and Bienvenido (Tiong Esong) Calleja was a big patron of the local media. Eventually,
Tiong Esong became Treasurer of the City of Manila where
I would give him a visit. My family was already residing in
Manila and my late husband was with the City Accounting
Office.
The Naga City Press and Radio Club was very active in
Naga in the sixties and media in Naga was a big force. I
met Bubby Dacer in Naga when he published Bikol Times, a
regional paper with Doming Alarcon. Later in Manila, I joined
his Bubby Dacers PR group at the Manila Hotel and the
same time, I even managed one of his travel agencies but I
have never been good in business, I decide to quit.
It is just too bad that Iriga, a fast rising city, does not have
a local paper. In the fifties, Engr. Edmundo Isaac published
the Bicol Midweek which I ran as Managing editor. Eddie
Alanis and Eleanor Soler (now Mrs. Jimenez) were regular
writers and the editor in-chief was Ben Hur Salcedo. The
paper did not last long. The cost of printing was getting very
unaffordable, there was no choice but fold up. Since then,
there had not been a local paper in Iriga, I wanted to venture
into this kind of job but the constraint is publishing and the
matter of getting ads is hard. . Newspapers are sold at a
very cheap price. Bikol Reporter is only five pesos. But Bikol
Reporter is here to stay. Congratulations, Bikol Reporter and
more power to Ben and Evelyn, and to the people behind this
publication.

I take inspiration from
my family as well as the colorful culture and history of
Daet, he added, as he expressed hope that the new
municipal administration will

has no appointed or designated
provincial veterinarian not
even a Provincial Agriculturist
was represented by a livestock
coordinator.
The technical
committee members deplore
this long-standing problem of
absence of a provincial veterinarian in the biggest province
of the region which has recorded the highest incidence
of dog and human rabies over
the past years.
Based on the reports recorded by the DOH from January to 1st week of June this
2016 , rabies has claimed the

lives of 11 persons: 7 in Camarines Sur; 3 in Camarines
Norte and 1 in Sorsogon. In
2015, Bicol placed second to
Region 3 for having 24 cases
of human fatalities due to rabies.
Meanwhile laboratory results of the head samples
taken from suspected dogs between January to June this year
9 tested positive 3 of these
came from Camarines Norte, 3
from Camarines Sur and and 3
from Albay. Last year 11 dogs
tested positive. According to
Dr. Rona Bernales, Rabies
Regional Coordinator for Bicol
last year the region achieved
70% dog vaccination coverage.
The vaccines were provided by
