Lapu-Lapu youth join newsroom workshop

MORE than 100 youth volunteers joined the first online newsroom workshop held at the Lapu-Lapu City Sports Complex last Oct. 7.

Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza challenged the participants to help the city in inculcating a culture of tourism and in creating a culture of excellence in this digital age.

Radaza, in her speech, said she was hopeful that the city’s youth will help shape the city.

The activity, organized by the office of the mayor, was attended by Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) members and campus journalists from the different schools in the city.

The mayor said she was partnering with the youth to spread the good news to the world about the city of Lapu-Lapu.

“The fact is, there are many good news about our city,” Radaza said. “Your innate ability to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram can catapult our city to heights never imagined before,” she added.

She announced that she is “investing” on the youth to help the city develop new tourism products and to help the city promote its eco-tourism.

The workshop was conducted by Max Limpag, co-founder of InnoPub, with the support of SK Federation president Nicole Balao and DepEd Lapu-Lapu.
