CNHS students attend PopDev exhibit
ROXAS CITY – About 60 freshmen students of Capiz National High School (CNHS) watched the “PopDev for YOUth” exhibit recently as part of a series of showings around the country.
The exhibit was facilitated by the Kabataan News Network (KNN) through the cooperation of Mulat Pinoy, Probe Media Foundation Inc. and the Philippine Center for Population and Development to increase young students’ knowledge on population issues and its link to development.
It was also aimed to increase Filipino youth’s awareness on their crucial role in addressing population and development.
A film showing of a documentary entitled “PopDev for YOUth” and a discussion session about the video highlighted the activity.
Former KNN reporter and now Bombo Radyo Roxas reporter/anchorwoman Sarah Jane Valiente led the discussion to assess the impact of the information and videos on the student-participants.
She was joined by former KNN-Capiz reporters Noel Balinang, Reynand Dumalaon, Fhey Mitchelle Bisan, and Jane Tidong.
“I’ll settle down when I’m ready and plan my family,” a male student said in Hiligaynon during the interaction.
Another student, after watching the video, affirmed that noise pollution is really observed in overcrowded classrooms.
The 90-minute activity ended with the recognition of event collaborators and CNHS support which made the exhibit possible.
The exhibit is also scheduled to tour Camarines Norte, Mindoro, Davao, North Cotabato and Cotabato City.
A PopDev caravan will also be conducted in Manila, Saranggani, Dumaguete and Baguio.*PIA
