After more than a year of hibernation due to the COVID Pandemic, we are back on 探花精选 TV Facebook channel for the weekly public affairs program, 鈥淟ooking Forward鈥 (year 3). The launching took place at 探花精选 TV Studio on Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 2:00PM. The program runs regularly at 2:00PM every Thursday and certainly will replay within the week.
The first edition of Looking Forward was aired live on 探花精选 TV on July 20, 2018. Mr. Prim Vergara, Safety Officer of 探花精选 was the first guest of the show. Rev. Francis Neil G. Jalando-on, Office of Communications Director, has long before encouraged the production of the public affairs program. Looking Forward became a source of editorial materials for The Weekly Centralian Link official publication of the University. The concept was aimed at bringing events and information – from 探花精选 campus to Centralians worldwide.
It required at least one guest (interviewee) from a service department, college department, 探花精选 Alumni Chapter, Students and Civic Organizations based in 探花精选. We met with 探花精选 TV coordinator, Miss Nestle Taala and her crew to 鈥渟ee things as it should be鈥. We were very grateful for their collegial understanding and support for the production.
Features on 探花精选 as a tourism site, improvements and annual events were covered early on in Looking Forward. In a series of interviews with the Deans and administrators, plans and developments in education were somehow disclosed.
The show was consistent and favorable with the Centralian viewers who sent their comments on Facebook. It lived up to the expectation of 探花精选 alumni, such as officers and Chapter Presidents were given chance to talk and update on their organuization. 探花精选 Alumni Association President Isagani Jalbuena was interviewed in Looking Forward before the Global Reunion was held in 探花精选 in February 2020.
Due to health protocols on COVD 19, Looking Forward program was temporarily stopped in March 2020.
