TITLE: Pandemic: Communication Destroyer (in my view, lagyan lang natin ng kaunting twist ang title,

like you mixed the letters of the word destroyer to a certain positive word)

COMMUNICATION SITUATION & ISSUE:

Pandemic depression and how do they solve it.
To commemorate world mental health day. There was a podcast between DJ Yeri and DJ ST. They have a
guest whose story is inspiring to listen to. He is Christopher. Christopher was a good student and friend,
but just like everyone else, he also came to the point of depression when the pandemic broke out. His
problem became one after another. Here we see how the pandemic affected Christopher's communication
with his friend and how Christopher ended up in depression. - just be inspiring in developing the scenes in
the drama especially as you go through the end of it. Pandemic is indeed difficult to battle with but give
people something they will reflect on (this is to explain that, despite the pandemic, and what it can cost to
an individual, there is something more exciting beyond it).

KEY CONCEPTS APPLIED:

● DJ Yeri & DJ ST having a podcast together with Christopher - do not give more time with this
scene, a short talk for the turning over to the real drama will do. For example, you asked the listeners a
certain topic/situation like - have you been in a situation before etc.. to hook their interest, then sabay relate

this is just a 10-minutes drama. Think of your communication situation, issue and solution. Which part of

The important thing naman he drama scenarios is to show your communication issue and how it will be

RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE/COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN:

When communication isn’t effective it can lead to a devastating scene, but when communication
is achieved effectively we can hear people’s thoughts of what’s going on. Allowing us to lend a hand to
people that are in dire need. If someone is reaching out, don’t hesitate to take some time. Communicating
is a part of our lives it keeps our society going on. Therefore, when Cristopher got in touch with his father
and opened up about his situation. The father listened. The father clearly understood and swiftly took
action to bring Christopher to a psychologist to get treated.
