IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay - Like most youth in
the country, the young belonging to the Indigenous Peoples (IP) in Zamboanga
Sibugay are also active in social media.
This was what Regional Director Noemi B. Edaga of the
Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-9 discovered when she talked on social
media during a journalistic writing workshop held here for IP college students
on June 17-18.
Director Edaga started her lecture on social media by asking
the participants about their time spent for facebook, twitter, skype and other
social media accounts.
It was also discovered that all the participants have been
using the internet to do their research for their lessons in schools.
Meanwhile, Edaga reminded the students to be responsible
enough in using the social media. “You are free to post any thing [in your
social media account] but not everything is beneficial,” she said.
The PIA-9 chief also encouraged the participants to visit
the PIA website, facebook and other social media platforms to get the recent
news about the region as well as the government programs, policies and
pronouncements.
