On October 24, team CRAMY went to the FCED headquarters to shoot the success story of Regine Magalona. I was very excited because I enjoy making short films or producing any sort of multimedia output (even though I am not necessarily good at it.)
We arrived pretty late but thankfully, Regine was still at work and we were able to set up and interview Regine's friends first. At least, our time was spent productively.
To be honest, I was kind of disappointed because our interviewee was changed from John Paul to Regine. When we arrived there, we were confused (at least I was) because we thought we were going to interview John Paul at his home and see the environment he grew up in but we ended up going to the headquarters instead. I mean, I'm not complaining, I just wish we could've made a better project output if our plan went well. That's one thing to know about me: I hate it when plans get changed.
Thankfully, Regine was really nice. She answered any questions we had and she was patient whenever we had technical issues. She's very bubbly and you can truly see in her that she is proud of being a part of FCED. You can see that she is very passionate about leadership and helping the youth. It's refreshing to see and hear stories of people like her when majority of the youth I know yearn to get corporal jobs but rarely jobs that involve volunteering.
It's amazing to see that an organization like FCED is helping to make many children's and families' dreams come true. There are so many negativity surrounding us that it is all we hear on the news and on our social media timelines but we rarely see posts that see the goodness in people. This project gave me the opportunity to produce an output that showcases the life of a person with an extraordinary life. I yearn for the day that the news we'll mostly hear are full of happiness and goodness. Until then, thanks to this project, I will continue to look for stories worth hearing.
