misadventures for a political story

Bambi are required to submit a 1.5 minuter political news story. As newbies in this field, we really found it difficult for us to do and gather enough materials for this.

It took us days before we were able to get a concrete lead. That was after we spent a lot of bucks, calling all the department offices, in our hopes that they can share us something good to cover.

We just went to the Congress, praying ardently that an issue would arise, or that the congressmen would somehow lose their cool and make a jungle out of the session. But to our dismay, they were so behaved. not minding the fact that only 80++ representatives were there.

HAY!!!!

So we just followed the lead on the motion for reconsideration filed by Representative Remulla regarding the wage increase bill.

Lucky enough, we got the respondents we need, though not in an easy manner. I was able to interview a labor group alliance. Bambi was able to get an interview with a factory owner and got footages of the factory workers too.

But before that was a long way walk along Makati. After being bashed a lot of times by Chinese businessmen, and after a lot of off-the-record interviews!!!!!
