Multimedia Production in PNPA

"The more an idea is developed, the more concise becomes its expression; the more a tree is pruned, the better is the fruit." -Alfred Bougeart

Mobile phones, laptops, personal computers, and other pieces of technology that we frequently use—especially in our generation—allow us to experience multimedia in our daily lives. Whether we like it or not, technology will quickly displace conventional methods of obtaining and disseminating information. We need to keep up with modernization in the uniformed military as well.

In order to contact the public and disseminate information quickly, easily, and reliably, the Armed Forces of the Philippines Civil Relations Service developed a method, the Philippine National Police Academy "MASIDTALAK" class of 2023's cadets attended a multimedia presentation put on by the CRSAFP with special guest MAJ Cenon C. Pancito III PA group commander of the relevant unit. The CRSAFP's positions in the ruling class and the value of civil connections to the military service were explored by MAJ Pancito. Not everyone is familiar with the uniform service.

We gained knowledge on a wide range of subjects throughout the seminar, including the 2007 Broadcaster Code of the Philippines, the Ethics and Morals of Broadcasting, News Writing, Radio Programming, Radio Technical Operations, Practical Application of Multi-Radio Technical Operations through Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Story Board and Script Writing for News and Radio Broadcasting, Photography, Videography Techniques, Photo Editing, Photo Manipulation using Adobe Photoshop, and Digital Imaging. A trip to the Manila Times headquarters in Intramuros, Manila, marked the session's conclusion. One of the first English-language publications in the nation, The Manila Times was established on October 11, 1898.

The AFP frequently hires multimedia specialists through special enrollment to allow them chances to hone and expand their abilities that may be applied in the Armed Forces of The Philippines. As we can see, the AFP, PNP, and other service bureaus and organizations remain current with modernization in such a way that we also have social media pages and even radio stations to demonstrate and inspire the Filipino people to participate in or support the projects and even the side of the government.

In order to inspire young people or those who desire to join the military or pursue careers in national defense, multimedia is also in charge of promotional videos for certain service branches. Additionally, cooperation and information dissemination are handled via multimedia production. The purpose of the Philippine broadcast code is to maintain the safety and organization of radio stations and other forms of entertainment and communication for the benefit of listeners and other persons. It is crucial to maintain the integrity and dependability of the information on radio stations, online publications, and other platforms for the consumers, such as our underclassmen. This is why broadcasters and other multimedia experts who are a part of the uniformed service play such a crucial role.

In conclusion, we are entrusted with building the PNPA Teleradyo, the first teleradio in the PNPA, as an application of what we have learned. We were split up into three groups, each of which had to come up with a 90-minute program. Only a few of us had any background in this beyond what we had heard in the seminar, so it was a significant task.
