ELEVEN photojournalists and other media professionals comprising the third batch of the Diploma in Photojournalism Program congregated on Dec. 10 to 15, at the Ateneo Loyola campus for their first on-campus sessions.
The group of 10 Filipinos from various parts of the country and one Japanese is attending the on-campus sessions for the hybrid core courses, namely, Newsgathering and Reporting for Photojournalists and Fundamentals of Photojournalism, taught by Luz Rimban and Jimmy Domingo, respectively. The third core course, History of Photojournalism, will begin in February with Alex Baluyut as lecturer.
Among the 10 Filipinos are Metro Manila-based photojournalists Rogelio Luis Liwanag, Dannyboy Pata, Alanah Leyna Torralba, and Emlyn Hope Rillon.
From the other parts of the country are Tara Katherine Yap of The Guardian in Iloilo, Renato Lumawag of Sun Star in Davao, Rommel Rebollido of the Philippine News Agency-Mindanao, Marnie Mutya Dolera of Greenpeace (Antipolo City), Marie Antoinette Leomo of DSWD-Kalahi-CIDSS (Los Baños, Laguna) and Walter Mercado from Tarlac State University.
Koichiro Ota of the Mainichi Shimbun will also join the group.
The seven-course Diploma in Photojournalism was developed jointly by ACFJ and World Press Photo, a media NGO based in The Netherlands.
Eight students have so far graduated from the program since it was launched last year. The second batch is currently going through the specialized courses.
