Feeding their mind and also their eyes, 50 junior students of Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Bulacan State University took the rare chance of visiting Angat Dam, October 1.
With the supervision of the professors Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Bulacan correspondent Carmela Reyes-Estrope and Philippine Star’s Dino Balabo, everyone met in front of the Provincial Capitol and started their itineraries.
At 8 ‘o clock, the group is already heading to their first and main stop, Angat Dam. Arriving at the site, the class was given a lecture by Engineer Saturnino Espiritu of Angat Hydroelectric Power Plant. The lecture was composed of series of videos showing how the power plant is working. After the lecture, everyone is given a chance to ask inquiries.
After the lecture, the class took a break and ate lunch at the View Deck, giving them a clear view of the dam as they feast on their lunch. The students also enjoyed taking pictures of the great view.
Next stop is visiting the Dumagats who are residing right beside the dam itself. The class took another half an hour trip to the heart of Angat Dam. They also brought gifts and donations to the ethnic group.
At around 3 ‘o clock in the afternoon, the class left Angat Dam and headed to their last stop, Bustos Dam. But some lucky students were given a chance to stop at Ipo Dam to take a view. At Bustos Dam they witnessed how the ‘Asia’s Longest Rubber Dam’ work and also given a lecture by Engr. Precioso Donato Punzalan.
“This is a lucky batch; they can be the last batch to visit Angat Dam, dahil nga sa pagpasok ng mga Koreans. Ngayon pa lang, ang dami nang mga requirements dahil sa transition na ginagawa,” said Balabo.
This is the third time Journalism majors took a trip to visit Bulacan dams.
