Risk taken; challenge accepted

Tribute to the martyrs of truth
 I admit it. I was afraid of taking the
assignment of writing about homeless
families along the Philippine Railways in
Magallanes, Makati. With two other
campus journalists, I found myself
conducting interviews with shirtless men
in a poor community.
 That single experience is nothing
compared to many journalists, who
climb the mountains, cross the
seas, and survive the most
dangerous places on earth.

Sa Ngalan ng Katotohanan
Kung bakit napapanahon ang FOI
 Nasaksihan ng marami ang kontrobersyal
na pangyayari sa kagaganap lamang na
Miss Universe 2015. Unang naipatong kay
Bb. Calumbia ang korona, ngunit binawi ng
kilalang TV host na si Steve Harvey ang
kanyang pahayag, inamin sa buong mundo
ang kanyang pagkakamali, at pinal na
iginawad sa pambato ng Pilipinas na si Pia
Wurtzbach ang titulo.
 Marami ang umalma sa pangyayari,
ngunit hindi maaaring isantabi ang
katotohanan. Nahaharap din ang
sambayanan sa mga ganitong
pagkakataon, at dapat na manaig din
ang katotohanan at maitama ang isang
pagkakamali kahit gaano man ito
kasakit.
