CAMP AQUINO, Tarlac City-Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region 3 recently conducted a two-day basic journalism training for designated public affairs officers of Air Force, Army and Naval units within the Northern Luzon Command (NOLCOM).
“This aims to teach the uniformed personnel on the basics of newswriting, photojournalism and photo editing in order for them to be able to effectively perform their duties and thus becoming our reliable partners,” PIA Regional Director William Beltran said.
The activity was conducted pursuant to the vision of former NOLCOM commander and now Armed Forces of the Philippines Vice Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. of integrating the power of information and communication in delivering better service to the Filipino people.
Tarlac Provincial Manager Lorie Gene Cruz and Pampanga Provincial Manager Carlo Lorenzo Datu served as lecturers.
PIA earlier signed a Memorandum of Agreement with NOLCOM for partnership in various areas of development communication namely research, information development, information dissemination, and institutional development.
