23. Body Paragraph 1: In the Secretary’s message, he highlighted the role of the campus press in initiating change in the society . His strong regard for the young was evident when he chose to first meet the participants in a mini- presscon which they, themselves, facilitated. Emphasizing the great challenge entrusted to them, the Secretary urged them to do small things that have a life- long impact to the society, for making a change isn’t dependent on age, but on the will to be part of the critical mass of young leaders who are open to listen and are rooted in the communities they are serving. EVIDENCE

24. Body Paragraph 2: Serving the Department of Education for years, the Secretary definitely understands the young generation are endowed with both a bit of innocence and inquisitive spirit . He was even impressed with their questions which were driven from their hunger for answers to many issues that float in the mind of the common public. When he was asked about his own legacy as the Department of Education Secretary, the veteran public servant admittedly said he can’t grasp an answer to the question which he found the most difficult to answer and took him some time to think about. Humble enough, the Secretary’s inability to answer the question is a reflection that there are more to do … that there are more to change. And in this pursuit of change will take generations to keep it going. EVIDENCE

25. Body Paragraph 3: With the challenge at hand, he urged the young writers to look not only for their own stories but also the story of others. These are real stori es of human beings that the journalist should write and the pictures that should be taken. More so, he emphasized that young journalists should tell the older generation how to change the Philippines and the world to be better. EVIDENCE

26. Body Paragraph 4: Recently, the Department of Education has received a lot of critics for maneuvering a massive bureaucracy through its implementation of the K-12 Education Program with the aim of starting up radical changes and reforms in our educational system. In the midst of the promising result of the new program, the Secretary has been projecting a dynamic and a doughty stand on its implementation. He then stressed that it can only make its headway through the young generation, most importantly the campus press that are always leaders and are imbued with so much potential. EVIDENCE

29. LEGS of Editorial We must all join our voices, then, to the rising chorus of protest against the President’s latest outrage.

31. LEGS of Editorial This man speaks for and with the authority of the President, who, as it happens, has himself been needlessly and repeatedly entangled in controversy due to loose lips. Pres.
