The Negros Press Club (NPC), in partnership with the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP) and University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos (UNO-R), will hold a Hiligaynon Proficiency Seminar today, August 26 at the President’s Hall of UNO-R in Bacolod City.
Dr. Carmencita Robles, dean of the College of Communication of West Visayas State University in Iloilo City, will talk about the topic, “Save Hiligaynon: A Call for Practitioners in the Media.”
About 50 broadcasters in Negros Occidental, and about 30 Mass Communication students are expected to attend the seminar from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
NPC president Renato Duran said the activity is intended to foster better understanding and appreciation on the importance of Hiligaynon language especially in broadcast journalism.
“It is also geared towards equipping local broadcasters with further knowledge and skills on proper use of Hiligaynon as instrument of communicating to the audience," Duran added. (GYM)
