Initially, my goal was simple: I just wanted to shed light on the research found by my university online. Our institution produces intriguing studies that deserve public attention. I just wanted to have a wider audience because people have to know about the findings of academic research, such as the high coliform level of river basins in Aklan, and what’s happening in the province’s environmental front.
My undergraduate program is both physically and mentally demanding. The whole duration of the fellowship was a balancing act for me: I had an 8 am to 5 pm full-time class, I was an active leader in the university, editor of a student publication, and had other community engagements to focus on. Despite these challenges, I managed to produce 11 community stories, four of which highlighted the offerings of Aklan beyond Boracay Island.
With pride and honor, I am so happy to have been able to whip up a wave after creating some ripples. A week after this story was published in Rappler, those who initially said yes to reendorsing the project, had a change of heart and are set to relocate the turbines away from Nabaoy River. This is a win not just for me, but for the community I write about.
