He sees the need
for CMOs to observe such standards of reporting as well as abide by the
“norms, standards and professional ethics” of reporting saying the general
public nowadays has become particular on what is being reported about
their community.
The CMOs from
various commands in Eastern Mindanao recently
underwent a three-day peace communicators seminar workshop conducted in close
cooperation with the Philippine Information Agency Davao Region. The public
relations officers of the Philippine National Police in Eastern
Mindanao regions were also invited to join the training.
PIA 11 Regional
Director Efren F. Elbanbuena lauded the AFP Eastern Mindanao Command for
the keen interest of its CMOs to learn how to report according to the standards
of Journalism.
Director
Elbanbuena oriented the CMOs on communication theories and taught them how to
come up with a communication plan. Among the Journalism subjects taken up
during the seminar workshop were news writing, radio broadcasting, photography
and videography, mobile journalism and short messaging services (sms)
reporting.
Guerrero is
hopeful that the training would make the CMOs under his command more “efficient
and effective in confronting issues and concerns” through delivering
accurate information at the right time.
He saw it fit to
recommend that all AFP CMOs will become “professionalized” and that they would
be given the right tools to deliver their tasks as peace communicators.
“I would highly
recommend, i-professionalized ang mga CMO officers as far as
dealing with the media, handling information, and more importantly they
should be provided with appropriate tools para magiging effective sila
(so that they would become effective),” he said.
