PARA SA MGA SULATIN SA JOURNALISM

1. Balanced News, Fearless Views

2. The clanging of the Manila Fire
Department trucks one night attracted a
throng of spectators, among them Diane
Cruz, eight years old, a second grader;
Joshua Santos, 15, a high schooler; Mrs.
Sol Perez, a housewife; and Dino Reyes,
editor of a school publication.

3. At school, the next
day, Diane’s teacher
asked the pupils to
write about
something interesting
they had seen. Diane
wrote painstakingly:
I saw a fire. It was a
big red fire. It burned
a house. There were
many people around.
Some men put water
on the fire.

4. Fearful scarlet tongues
arose to the star-
studded heavens and
licked greedily at the
doomed edifice while
the brave firefighters
risked their all to
quench the terrible
conflagration.

6. I happened to see the most interesting fire in our
neighborhood last night. There were many firetrucks
called and they were able to extinguish it, but it
required much effort. It probably cost the people who
owned the house a good deal of money. The date
was August 8. August is the eight month, so I bet in
the “jueteng” 8-8, “Pompiang”

8. A fire of undetermined origin razed to the
ground a three-story apartment of Christopher
Salvador of 164-B Recto St. last night.
Four fire companies subdued it within an hour.
The damage estimated at P100,000 was covered
by insurance.
