The Polytechnic University of the Philippines and GMA News TV launched the first Learniversity at the Bulwagang Balagtas, Ninoy Aquino Library and Learning Resources Center on September 28.
Learniversity is a project initiated by the GMA News TV in partnership with PUP, through the Communication Management Office, Career Development and Placement Office and the Office of the Vice President for Student Services. It was a potpourri of various events: career talks, variety shows, games, and exhibit booths. Crash courses on business, broadcasting, hotel and restaurant management, and information technology were also conducted.
Ms. Kara Patria David, a recipient of PUP’s Gawad Apolinario Mabini Award and known TV reporter, graced the event by sharing her thoughts and experiences about broadcasting and media production to an overly enthusiastic audience of about eight hundred students from the College of Communications, College of Education, College of Computer Management and Information Technology, College of Tourism and Hotel and Restaurant Management, and College of Business.
The event was made colorful and fun by the hosting of GMA comedians Maey Bautista, Ramon Bautista, Tonipet and Betong. Betong, whose career shined after winning the top prize in the reality game show Survivor Philippines, proudly announced that the event was an homecoming of sort for him because he was a graduate of the University’s Bachelor of Arts in Filipinology program.
