Thumbs Up for Climate Change Workshops for Journalists

The Philippine Agricultural Journalists, Inc. (PAJ)—in partnership with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), Smart Communications and  Philex Mining Corporation —will conduct four regional seminar-workshops for journalists, called “Climate Change: Gets mo na ba?”  

Commencing in Legazpi City, on July 30, 2015 to Aug. 1, 2015, the workshops aim to “laymanize” climate change processes and terminologies, and enable journalists craft better and more stories. Other venues are in Tacloban (Aug 27-29), Siargao (Sept 17-19), and in Tuguegarao (Oct 29-31). The workshops are also co-sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security for Southeast Asia, International Rice Research Institute, and World Agroforestry Center. Shown above at the June 30 MOU signing are (from left): Melody del Rosario, MPIC VP for media and corporate communications; Ramon Isberto, Smart Communications VP and head of public affairs; Jose Ma. K. Lim – MPIC President and CEO; Noel O. Reyes, PAJ VP; and Michael Toledo, Philex VP for corporate affairs and MVP Group media bureau chief.
