CIIT Media

With the theme Empowering Media Catalysts, the highlights of the event includes two days of insights and information on different topics from speakers such as BBC World News anchor Rico Hizon, GMA Vice President for Professional Development Howie Severino, MBC Assistant Vice President for Promo Santiago Elizalde, photographers Shaira Luna and BJ Pascual, TV host Bianca Gonzales, and media icons Ramon Baurista and Jun Sabayton; and performances from X-Factor Finalist Jeric Medina, Comedy Manila's Alex Calleja, and the Philippine All Stars. among others. The event was capped off with a closing ceremony called Unveil, with band performances from Musical O, Laude and UpDharmaDown.

"It's a great privilege to be able to attend this yearly conference on broadcast media. It sure gave us a lot of new insights, perspectives, and standards in delivering content for our audience." Media Team EIC Carl Lamiel remarked.

By providing new school-hosted email addresses, the said move is a step from not depending on social media as means of communication between students, faculty and staff. 

The revamped student portal consists of newsbits of recent events at CIIT, as well as school information from the Student Services and Admission & Records departments. According to Ms. Issa Bacsa, Student Affairs Officer, the site is still under progress.

The new system runs on Google's platform. Emails can be accessed by using your login details on the GMail website. Any questions, suggestions and/or comments may be directed to the Student Affairs Office at sao(at)ciit.edu.ph.

Some people may think that a school is just a boring place for books and learning; but as artists, we see this in a different perspective. Being able to express ourselves in our own little ways through fashion is important to us.

Fashion isn’t just about looking cool and keeping up with the trend, rather it’s about seeing yourself as a canvas and show yourself through the way you look – a form freedom of expression.

We spied Rey Faller (1st Year BMMA-VMG) wearing a casual look. Looking comfortable, hip and in style with his black shirt topped with blue long sleeves, beige chinos, and black kicks.

  What is fashion for you?

     It’s how I express my mood/feelings.

  Favorite places to shop for clothes:

     Topman, Zara, Sperry, Penguin, Vans, Cotton On

  What kind of style do you usually go for?

     Casual. I like keeping up with the latest fashion trends but at the same time dress comfortably.

Who do you look up as your fashion icon/s?
