The Baguio Correspondents and Broadcaster Club (BCBC) is all set for this year’s Holy Week media camp, at Camp Peppot, Burnham Park, which will run from Monday April 18 up to Easter Sunday of April 24.
According to BCBC president Migs Velarde, winning the “Lucky Summer Visitor” activity will highlight the weeklong activity. First time visitors of Baguio who will be selected on Maundy Thursday will be accorded with a red carpet treatment as well as free food and accommodation and tour packages for four days.
For the summer camp, Velarde affirmed there will also be free journalism workshops on broadcast, print, and photo at the camp to be provided by BCBC members, every afternoon, from Monday to Saturday. The journalism workshop was launched last year.
“College students, especially Mass Communication students as well as journalism enthusiasts are welcome to attend the workshop. Speakers will be our colleagues who will also share their experiences in the media industry,” Velarde said.
The Media Camp will also have different sponsors each day, which includes the Hotel and Restaurant Associations of Baguio (HRAB), the Benguet Electric Cooperative, BCBC Miners Team, Baguio Water District, Aboitiz, Manila National Tollways Corporation, SMART Communication, and Chevron.
For Saturday, April 23, this will be a tribute to the senior members of BCBC as well as commemorations of past media personalities including Presidential Management Staff officer Jose Capadocia who has been a long time friend of BCBC. There will also be a band that will play classical music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
For Easter Sunday, the families of the media including their kids will be invited to the camp to join an Easter Egg Hunt and fun games sponsored by SM City Baguio and Jollibee. The BCBC will also prepare additional prizes for a whole day of fun and surprises.
Velarde also stressed that for Holy Week’s media camp there are already designated camp director and directress who will handle every scheduled activity, Nonnette Bennett for the journalism workshop, Roderick Osis as the Lucky Summer Visitor Tour director and Dodie Mendillo, Dexter See, and Rizaldy Commanda for camp operations.
The Department of Tourism (DOT-CAR) will also sponsor a Kapihan forum at the camp on Wednesday to promote the other scheduled tourism activities this summer vacation. (LD - PIA CAR)
