So grateful for the opportunity to visit Rappler’s HQ! It was an unforgettable experience to share with my blockmates before graduation!! The insights Miss Lian Buan shared with us about legal safety were truly eye-opening. Thank you, Sir Jai and Ma’am Lian, for this opportunity! 😍😍

hi! took some time before i got to properly get on sharing my insights of yesterday's lecture. We've discussed legal safety with Ms. Lian Buan, an important aspect of conflict-sensitive reporting (our course), as there are certainly so many times when the law fails us journalists (cue: Frenchie Cumpio and Tacloban 5). As such, this legal safety lecture is very timely, as we discussed how we could protect ourselves as journalists against certain threats that castigate our existence for reporting the truth: from digital hygiene, establishing trusted contacts for dangerous moments, to defending against state intelligence.

Overall, the lesson only stressed how heavy the burden is to be a journalist. As a graduating journalism student, I believe, the most important question thrown at us is how ready we are to sacrifice certain aspects of our lives to commit into this passion - and that if we still don't know the answer, then perhaps, we are not ready yet.

Thank you again, Sir @Jairo Bolledo-Rappler and Ms. Lian for this special discussion, which also served as a mini-reunion of our 2nd year class!

Yesterday was my first time visiting Rappler, and it honestly felt like being in the Avengers HQ (as silly as this sounds, this was my initial reaction 😅). Not only because of how incredible the office looked, but also because I felt truly honored to be among one of the most important organizations, with some of the brilliant minds in our country.

Getting to hear lectures again from our former professor, Ms. Lian Buan, along with Sir Jairo, and meeting some of the people behind Rappler made the experience unforgettable for me.

Thank you, Sir Jairo, for this opportunity! < 3
