‘Silliman Documentaries’ back on air
A TELEVISION program of Silliman University featuring issues, interests and activities on campus is now back on air, running live from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Monday on the local channel of Fil-Products Cable TV.
Supervised by the College of Mass Communication, the newly formatted “Silliman Documentaries” was launched Jan. 9 with a pilot episode entitled “Youth Speak.”
Topics in the first episode were campus culture in Silliman by History Department Prof. Victor Enario, unique practices of ushering luck into a new year by College of Business Administration guidance counselor Dulce de Guzman, must-have gadgets for 2012 by Information Technology Department chairperson Prof. Ed Omictin and what’s “in” in fashion by Mass Communication alumnus Ching Villar.
Future episodes will include a 45-minute talk show, a 15-minute news program and a brief rundown of events and activities in other schools in Dumaguete City.
“Silliman Documentaries” started in June 2010, offering canned materials on the different happenings on campus. Promising to be better this year, the program doubles as a marketing tool of the university and a training ground for students in the fields of film and TV production.
Mass Communication instructor John Dx Lapid oversees the program, with his team composed of students.
