Journalists to honor Graciano Lopez Jaena ILOILO City -- The Publishers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (PAPI) will hold a colloquium to honor hero Graciano Lopez Jaena and has called on the country’s community journalists to join the “second wave of the propaganda movement to liberate the Filipinos from economic bondage.”
The colloquium, scheduled on December 16, 2006 at 2 p.m. at the Bohol Tropics Hotel in Tagbilaran City, will be in commemoration of the hero’s 150th birth anniversary.
It will be a fitting tribute to the foremost Filipino journalist and will be a strategic convergence of publishers, editors, columnists, radio TV broadcasters, commentators, and other communicators, including writers, book authors and campust journalists.
Juan P. Dayang, PAPI president, said the colloquium on the great Filipino propagandist will usher in the three-day 11th National Press Congress scheduled from December 16 to 19, 2006.
Dayang explained that while the first Propaganda Movement advocated freedom from foreign colonial oppression, there remains an urgent need to mount a second wave propaganda movement for economic liberation.
In a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Historical Institute (NHI), PAPI committed to undertake the colloquium project and spearhead the publicity drive for the 150th birth anniversary of Lopez Jaena.
NHI is the state agency tasked to coordinate inter-agency efforts to honor Lopez Jaena and his life and works under Administrative Order No. 153 issued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on June 5, 2006.
A fiery orator and journalist who was born in Jaro, Iloilo on December 18, 1856, Lopez-Jaena was part of the triumvirate that led the propaganda movement against Spanish colonial rule in the 1890s. The two others were Dr. Jose P. Rizal and Marcelo H. del Pilar.
Dayang said Graciano Lopez-Jaena’s legacy has now become even more relevant as the country braces for an economic take-off.
PAPI’s 11th National Press Congress banners the theme “Media and Tourism: Partners for Progress.”
Through its regional media summits and its annual press congress, PAPI has focused on activities designed to help spur countryside economic development, while addressing other crucial issues and concerns.
In addition to mainstream tourism, medical tourism, historical and cultural tourism, PAPI has embarked on a new media thrust to help lure foreign investors, tourists and balikbayans to visit the Philippines.
