(3) Deficiencies of the Program
(4) Do you feel that the need to organize a
parish-based/school-based Media Core
Group? Why?
TV to watch

One out of 5 respondents answered
the last statement.

Practical application from
seminar/workshop learnings.

The distance counts a lot, especially
that there is no in-charge (based on
personal knowledge) in the local
community/school to facilitate its
program activities.

No follow-up. The TBCMedia program
didn’t become a part of our education
program among our youth, kaabag and
catechists.

Concentrated in Manila (specifically
talked about pelikula@titusbrandsma,
good films are not available, which
TBC could have provide in the
communities.)

Proximity and no follow-ups are the
major deficiencies of the program.

Organizing school-based media core
group would be an answer to the
perceived program deficiencies. It can
propel its implementation and the
students and the school people can feel
catechist.

Due to the Program, interest in media
as channel of information has been
propagated.

Awarensess.

Focus on the positive results were on
education and awareness of the
community as the main contribution
of TBCMP.

Sustainability is lacking/not clear
(funding) and continuity (program).

No-follow-up and the presence of the
Media Program is not yet felt in the
parish (Old Poblacion).

The deficiency is in the seminar
proper: no visual aids and very limited
time of the seminar.

Misinterpretation.

Lack facilities in the area and the need
to feed the people information about
mass media.

Not clear the existence of TBCMedia
Program in the parish

Follow-up and the presence of the
Program was not felt by some.

School-based media core group will
ensure continuity and implementation
and a challenge to the young
individuals in facing societal problems.

Sharpen level of consciousness and to

(5) Recommendations and suggestions
that there is program TBC Media.

A good media program can promote
Christian values and help our leaders to
communicate effectively. (Yes)

Open to the idea of a core group and
explore possibilities, maybe more on
values aspect – the effect of media

All agreed to the idea of a media core
group because it can answer to the
problem of distance and promote
values.

On-line or direct communication
through internet where the students and
the core group can send their
complains, suggestions and questions
in relation to the program.

Making practical and simple modules
for instructions, seminars and
education purposes.

Make good films available and
program should not only be
concentrated only in Manila

Input: what the communication
program is all about.

On the side of media education and a
clear and open communication lines
between the program and the
community
improve attitudes of children to media.

Good addition to propaganda and
educational purpose.

To coordinate with TBCMedia
Program but the only problem is the
sustainability of volunteers.

All agreed to a media core group
because it can help them enrich their
awareness, consciousness and be
educated. Three out of five, are in
favor of a school-based media core-
group even in San Francisco.

SCHOOL: TBCMP could be the
resource center for videos and media
education materials that the school
could borrow or buy.

COMMUNITY: TBCMP could build
in the Internet, a kind of mega index
for all Carmelite arts, music, literary
works, photos, film reviews with slant
on spirituality that Filipinos wrote and
adopt a Carmelite Media Policy in Phil.
communication – one that
defines/mandates media involvement
of Carmelite. Develop a good relation
with local media people (journalists
and other practitioners).

PARISH: Develop a communication
and media module in the BCC context.

Training, seminars and even student
scholar to study Journalism

Research and documentation.

(6) Understanding on the nature and
purpose of TBCMedia

Vehicle in understanding the
complexities of life brought about from
media explosion. Media Program will
try to give answers to the pressing
issue regarding morality and values. In
the part of the school the facilitators of
learning, they will be equipped in
dealing with their students who belong
to this age of confused values.

Help to promote Christian values,
effective communication skills
specially the leaders (Church) through
writing, public speaking, imparting
Christian values in their sharing.

A part of the new ministry of the
Carmelite but still need to be seen how
TBC Media Program will be part of
GKK (parish), school and other
Carmelite ministries.

A support group that will help in the
propagation of Christian values
through the use of communication
skills acquired from continuous
training and workshops and a

Deepening Orientation about the
TBCMedia Program.

Catechetical Education Formation.

Parish Bulletin.

More on the physical presence and
coordinating level. And of course,
education of the community
members.

TBCMP – A media center for the
Carmelites: facilitates media profile to
local communities; assist the
commissariat in coming up with
community media plan; help in funding
requests for media and community
programs of local communities;
evaluates status in relation to
communication/media of the order –
consciousness/awareness and practice.

Addressed to youth activities.

Give information and guidance, what is
happening to the nation. The Church in
relation to media is set aside thus to set
links to the people.

Alternative venue to give education on
how to use media these days. Extend
service in terms of seminars/skills
training on Media and Communication
depending on the needs of various
clusters in the Carmelite community.

A resource center to answer to their
communication needs specially in
educating them with communication
 necessity to be a part of the skills.
community or parish, its presence
must be felt

(7) Other Comments
Send the program to the community
Focus more in deepening our
and visit the school to talk to students, understanding and grasp in praxis that
teachers and administrators so that they media and communication is more than
can own and be proud that they are part just technique but a language and
of this noble effort of the Philippine culture that affects our sense of being
Carmel. spiritual.

Leveling-off is needed.

Waiting for the program orientation to
suggest and explain better about this
TBC Program in our parishioners.

Invite local resource person to speak
for the program.

Lacking in skills and information about
media and communication, so more
seminars are needed.

MANILA COMMUNITIES

and the critiques.

Engagement/involvement in different media initiatives like Titus

Very limited on its scope and reach of the people. Not yet known to
many people.

Non-involvement and participation of student friars in the
program or not even a concrete program for them and the
limited scope of the program.

Not only media awareness but for media education. Help the
 based/school-based Media Core Group? Why?
5. Recommendations and suggestions
parishes, schools especially formation of values and right attitude
towards media. For evangelization, to make it more creative,
innovative and participative.

Widen scope of TBC Program to farthest part of the country where
and where not the Carmelites are.

Stepping stone towards expansion.

Alternative vehicle to counter the negativity of mass media.

All are in favor of the media core groups to help in the realization
of the program’s objectives and focus and for expansion.

No documentary that focus on Philippine Issues that is being
screened. There are a lot of documentaries but it is only in the shelves
for personal viewing only.

Pelikula@titusbrandsma to go into the level of the people especially
those with knowledge and skills are rarely expose to media. It can
improve also in terms of Children’s evangelization and education and
it can promote the strength that is still strong in the GKK.

Make clear to the students the details of the TBCMedia program.

Media Awareness.

Network to other progressive organization.

Document Philippine events (socio-political uprisings)

Have regular media-related activities for Carmelite students and other
skills training for students.

Constant feedbacking and evaluation for participation.

The Carmelite aspect should always be considered.

Further education and promotion through school, etc.

Conduct seminar and workshops to enhance student friars
participation in media ministry.

Reorient the students to the ministry.

Suggest mostly on activities involving or for the student friars,
widen the scope and continuous media education through
workshops and seminars.

6. Understanding on the nature and purpose of
TBCMedia

Don’t have a vivid understanding of what TBCMedia Program is.

A David fighting Goliath.

An alternative venue and vehicle towards social transformation.

Just another window of opportunity.

Propagate the Christian faith, values and teaching through mass
media.

Critical and evaluative by nature.

Serves as an alternative from the pop-culture being promoted today
by the mass media.

Widen understanding about the importance of it especially in our
society.

Most are not so clear about the program of the ministry and
think of the Program as an alternative venue for education and
transformation.

7. Other Comments

program to the community.

Data-banking

Come up with film research center.

Strengthen network especially to school and other youth
organization.

Suggest an orientation about the program.

Widen the promotion/expansion of the program.
