At talagang parte ng ating public service yung pagbubukas ng oportunidad, hindi lang sa aming mga estudyante, kundi sa iba pang mga estudyante na malapit sa amin, mga high school, senior high school,” said UPLB’s Public Relations Director Mark Lester del Mundo Chico.ABS-CBN News Head Francis Toral noted that Filipinos’ news consumption was shifting from traditional media like radio and TV to various online platforms.“The more we are connected to the internet, the more we are disconnected so I’d really like to take this opportunity to reach out to the young and I like the way that ABS-CBN News is going to campuses to teach the young students and empower them, make them learn more about matters that should be important to them,” said Toral.Chief of Reporters Jeff Canoy stressed the need for journalists to take up space in online platforms to challenge and correct the false narratives being spread by disinformation networks, especially with the ongoing campaign period and the midterm elections just a few months away.Some students working for UPLB’s radio station DZLB said they have also started adapting to the new media landscape.“Hindi na lang nakakahon sa radyo yung mga programa. Meron na rin itong reels sa Facebook, mga verticals, kung saan tampok dito yung parehong programa, parehong mensahe, pero ibang atake,” said sophomore student Joseph Calapine.Bayan Mo I-Patrol Mo (BMPM) Researcher and Training Officer Dabet Panelo encouraged campus journalists to also take part in ABS-CBN News’ Halalan 2025 coverage by reporting what’s happening in their community.“Kwento niyo sa ‘min yung nangyayari sa inyong lugar at sabay-sabay nating i-fact check. Baka may mga nakikita kayong nakakalito, or kaduda-duda o talagang mali,” she said.The UP Community Broadcasters’ Society (UPComBroadSoc) welcomed this opportunity for communication students to apply what they have learned from the forum and in the classroom.“Marami kasing nag-iisip na pag campus media, e ang nirereport niyo lang naman yung nasa campus. Actually hindi. gusto natin na ang mga campus journalist, yung ating student media practitioners would amplify the truth, amplify facts,” said UPComBroadSoc Adviser Guien Garma.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174107216525920250403 (2).jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>ABS-CBN News’ Resident Meteorologist Ariel Rojas also shared ways to spot fake weather news online.Students were also treated to performances by Star Music artists Marlo Mortel and Darren Cashwell.Apart from reporting tips, UPLB communication students also got to experience firsthand how to mount a program as they took over the production work for the event— from co-hosting and floor directing, to controlling the camera and the lights.

Some 300 students attended the second leg of ABS-CBN News’ Campus Patrol at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) on Monday.
