    Jurnal Komunikasi Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 34(2) 2018: 166-187 #Trending: A Reevaluation of Traditional News Values Given Twitter through a Mixed Methods Approach VENICE NICOLE ARBOLEDA AMOROSO NICOLE ABIGAIL CENIZAL CHAM PAULO MARI CHICO CRUZ CANDICE RIA ESTACAMENTO MONSALE MICAH GABRIELA TONGOL SAN JOSE JEREMAIAH MANUEL OPINIANO University of Santo Tomas, Philippines ABSTRACT Over the years, social media have catered for faster and perhaps more efficient delivery of news. Twitter, one of the most popular micro-blogging sites, is now being used by journalists in spreading and gathering news. And since Twitter takes note of what topics are trending, journalists now have an idea on what their audience would like to know and talk about. However, topics trending on Twitter often do not reflect the dominant news values presented by the journalists in the traditional news media, thus creating a gap between the perceptions of the audience and of the journalist on what are considered to be newsworthy especially on Twitter. This also creates an impression that news and news values are evolving. This exploratory mixed methods research re-evaluates the traditional news values in the age of Twitter. It seeks to determine if such values have evolved and if they remain relevant for journalists in the delivery of news in this entirely new platform. Four news values were identified given a phenomenological approach employed in qualitative interviews. These identified news values were then tested using a survey (N=300) as structural equation modelling was employed to test if these four news values are correlated to newsworthiness, news consumption and news distribution.

The attendance was limited to PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE 50 people which comprised the organizers, selected guests, associations and supporters of the festival. The social distancing of 2 meters apart was also closely observed. MFSF 2020 was slated to kick off on this exact day of June 13th, but instead of the vibrant parade and entertainment showcasing the rich culture of the Philippines, organizers shifted it to a simple post-Independence Celebration following the actual June 12 Independence Day where Filipinos across the word commemorate its 122nd year of freedom from Spanish colonization. Lead organizer, Ley Navarro, said in his speech, "Kaya rin natin sine-celebrate ang flag-raising ngayon eh sabi nga ni Jose Rizal: Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makakarating sa parooonan," baka madapa. Lahat tayo ay nagpapasalamat sa ating Inang Bayan dahil kung hindi rin dahil sa kanya, wala rin tayo dito sa Canda." The ceremony highlighted the singing of the Philippine National Anthem, recitation of Panatang Makabayan or Patriotic Oath led by Ernesto Ofiaza Jr and the singing of Ako ay Pilipino

Promoting Rice Science for Development through 12 Strategic Use of Communication Media Abbreviations and acronymns 28 List of Tables 30 List of Figures 31 Development Communication Division 1 Development Communication Division Division Head: MG Layaoen Executive Summary As an R&D organization, PhilRice generates large amounts of infor- mation and knowledge on rice and rice-based farming systems that must be communicated to its various stakeholders so that they could respond suc- cessfully to opportunities and challenges. The Development Communication Division contributes largely to this institutional mandate through the strategic and innovative uses of communication for and about development to facili- tate learning, foster innovations, and inform decision-making. The Division operates under this premise. Generally, it aims to manage (i.e. capture, organize, package, and improve access to) rice science and technology information and knowledge; to share (i.e. transmit, deploy, distribute, as well as promote exchange and use of) these information and knowledge to rice stakeholders, particularly in identified areas of develop- ment interventions; and to examine, explore, and promote knowledge shar- ing and learning processes and pathways among stakeholders. Since 2011, the Division has been embarking on two major proj- ects: (1) Enhancing Knowledge Sharing and Learning and (2) Promoting Rice Science for Development through Strategic Use of Communication Media. Directly linked to these projects are themes and studies to help PhilRice remain faithful to its vision to bringing the technologies it developed to the farmers’ field and help ensure the use or adoption of these technologies.

BoC won’t open box of OWWA members By Cristy Kasilag AS the Christmas season draws near, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), who are legitimate Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) members, just might have an advantage when it comes to the speedy release of their balikbayan boxes. BoC Commissioner Alberto Lina said that once they get a copy of the list of the OWWA members, these hardworking Fil- ipinos working abroad would be given an “OFW treatment.” Commissioner Lina, however, declined to explain what he meant by “OFW treat- ment” and only said it would be his “sur- prise.” One of the benefits of an OWWA-mem- ber is the “pre-clear privilege.” This means that even if their shipment is still in the port of origin, they could already be cleared by Customs for as long as the OFW sends photocopies of certain docu- ments such as their airway bill, bill of lad- ing and invoice to the BOC.

Opening of the Meeting (No document) 1. The meeting was opened by the hostess, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz, the Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and Miss Earth Air 2012. She reminded the meeting that the Dugong was at high risk of extinction, and after the First Meeting of the Signatories in Abu Dhabi in 2010, the present gathering was another milestone in international efforts to protect the species. 2. After leading the meeting in a rendition of the Philippines’ national anthem, Ms Stefanowitz introduced Ms Theresa Mundita Lim of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines (DENR). 3. Ms Lim introduced the other people on the podium, namely Ernesto D. Adobo Junior, the Deputy Minister followed by Nelson P. Devanadera, the Assistant Director and Ms Donna Kwan of the CMS Secretariat. She welcomed all the delegates to Manila and expressed her delight and honour at hosting the meeting. 4. Ms Lim related the story of Joanna, the injured Dugong calf. Unfortunately all the efforts to try to save the animal were in vain, because, as was later discovered, its digestive tract had been infested with parasites. However, lessons were learned from the experience.
