Television Station: Showtime Studio
Last September 17, 2011, our group decided to hold our studio tour in ABS-CBN particularly in Showtime. As I look back and remember that day, I still feel the excitement I had. That was my first time to actually be in a TV station building and my first time as well to be in a TV studio as part of the live audience. We arrived at ABS-CBN’s audience entrance at around 8 o’clock in the morning and lined up there. We were asked to make a poster that specifies from what school we were from. We also had the chance to vote who the “burado” will be. There, we also took pictures of ourselves together with our showtime contestants to shorten the time of waiting. Guards and marshalls roamed around the waiting area to assist us, Showtimers. They also gave guidelines of what to do as soon as we are inside (and that includes waving and smiling to the camera).

We entered the studio of showtime. We were already entertained when Mel Feliciano and his assistant grabbed the microphone and started cracking jokes. They also taught us dance steps to the songs that will be played during the show itself.
The show began. We were all anxious to be seen in the cameras; but more than that, we were all very anxious to be have our pictures taken with some of the famous personalities there like Vhong Navarro, Billy Crawford, Jugs and Teddy and etc.
Our trip in the TV station gave me a more vivid idea of what my future will be if I decide to pursue Broadcast Journalism. Everything that I saw was very technical that scared me a bit. Although it was very tiring and the people there, starting from the guards to the hosts, were not warm and were very strict, I still enjoyed the trip.
Frequency Modulation Station: Love Radio
September 21, 2011, Wednesday, is the day we went to the FM Station 90.2, Love Radio. There, as Sir James, the HR officer of MBC, assisted us, we met Miss Thea, commonly known as "Missyhista". I have learned lots in the tour. I have even been encouraged to have my On-the-job training there. I have learned that the broadcasters of Love Radio do not constantly change. One slot will only be be replaced once a broadcaster resigns. I have also learned that they did not have holidays except for Holy Week. I felt very privileged to have been given the chance to speak with those warm people in the Manila Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). Now, I have learned to give more attention to radios after knowing that much effort from good brains made those programs possible.

Out of all the station visits that I have encountered, this one's the best. We went here last Friday, September 23, 2011. The people in the station were very nice and they have taught us a lot. This experience with GMA, since I am not a Kapuso, triggered me to give this station a chance; because it, really, is another station we should never miss. The radio station of DZBB is very fast. They have showed us how they gather information and disseminate it to the people. This is a very crucial station since people in this field gather the best facts possible. As a matter of fact, the writers even told us that they always get filed with cases of libel and even receive death threats.

The studio tours, as a whole, was not only loads of fun but also very informative. I know I will go back soon to those places and I wish, when that time comes, I already have the knowledge to be more aware of EVERYTHING BEHIND this beautiful shows and programs that we call art.
