Resource speakers GMA News and Public Affairs Senior Correspondent Bam Alegre, ABS-CBN Senior Reporter Adrian Ayalin, Executive Assistant IV-Office of the Executive Director at the Philippine Science High School System Aries Oliveros, INQUIRER.net Social Media Specialist Chris Gamoso, School Publication Coordinator of Mintal Comprehensive High School Leonardo Cabural, Special Science Teacher V at the Philippine Science High School-Cagayan Valley Campus Dr. Harold Gallo, Journalism teacher at New Era University Meden Fadriquela, and Head of the Knowledge Management Office at Philippine Normal University Mindanao Assoc. Prof. June Dumanhug delivered talks about different journalistic fields during the publication鈥檚 seven nationwide events.

During the keynote webinar titled 鈥淰anguard 2023,鈥� Ayalin, a senior reporter from ABS-CBN, stressed how journalism helps in providing more media coverage and exposure on issues faced by less privileged people.

鈥淟ahat ng ito na ginagawa natin ay para sa kanila, those who are less privileged. Those who have less in life should have more in law. Sa TV reports ko, those who have less in life should have more airtime. Mas bigyan natin ng halaga ‘yung mga nasa laylayan,鈥� said Ayalin.

Meanwhile, Alegre, a GMA News and Public Affairs senior correspondent, also served as a keynote speaker for Vanguard, emphasizing that journalists must aid the public in forming deliberated opinions rather than promoting certain agendas and beliefs.

“Ang papel natin bilang mga journalist ay hindi para sabihin sa mga tao kung ano ang dapat nilang paniwalaan, that’s not our role. People have the right to decide on what they want to believe in. Now, our role is to give them correct facts, double-checked facts, fair information; give them that to help them decide on what they want to believe in,” said Alegre.

The series鈥檚 six other sub-events, focused on features writing, news writing, opinion writing, sports writing, copyreading and headline writing, and editorial cartooning, respectively.

The event, which was live streamed via Facebook, was viewed by publication advisers and student writers from all over the Philippines. During the previous publication years, The Aquinian also organized multiple national events on different topics in the field of campus journalism, including Myriad, Beacon, and Illuminate, while also featuring notable speakers, such as Mr. Jeff Canoy, the late Mr. Rene Aranda, and Assoc.

Prof. Hsiu-Chuan Liao, Ph.D., an associate professor at the Institute of Linguistics, National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, talked about personal pronouns and transitivity in Northern Luzon languages where she discussed the interaction between personal pronouns and transitivity in Northern Luzon languages.
During her discussion, Liao said, 鈥淣orthern Luzon languages are also known as 鈥楥ordilleran鈥� in literature, and they contain some 50 Austronesian languages spoken widely through the mountains, valleys, and coastal strips of the northern portion of Luzon.鈥� She also added that this set of languages have four sets of personal pronouns, namely: genitive, nominative, independent neutral, and locative.

Prof. Yukinori Kimoto, Ph.D.,a senior lecturer in linguistics at the University of Hyogo in Japan, talked about verbal morphology and voice phenomena in Arta (Edilod), a Philippine Negrito language that is currently being spoken by around ten native speakers in Quirino province in Luzon.

During his discussion, Kimoto emphasized that Arta has three major intransitive verb affixes (maN-, maC-, and ), and three major transitive verb affixes (-蓹n, -an, and i-) and that it has pluractional reduplications that indicate repetitive action and participant multiplicity, 鈥淎rta exhibits so-called pluractional reduplications, pluractional means, plural actions, like repetitive or action by many participants, to indicate repetitive action and participant multiplicity,鈥� added Kimoto.

Meanwhile, Ms. Ryn Jean Fe Gonzales, a language assessment consultant of Summer Institute of Linguistics-Philippines, discussed about co-referencing in Meso-Cordilleran languages, where she shared that even if many experts consider the existence of co-referencing pronouns or person markers (PMs) in Philippine languages to be an interesting area of research, it still remains to be unexplored.
Gonzales shared her study about the existence and nature of co-referencing pronoun/s in 12 Meso-Cordilleran languages where she adapted Himmelman鈥檚 鈥榓greement marker鈥� to refer to what is commonly called co-referential pronoun and compared the forms and syntactic properties of these person markers with those of Kapampangan and Ilokano, 鈥淚n this study, I use Himmelman’s definition of 鈥榓greement marker鈥� as something that requires a coreferential noun phrase. I looked at the case alignment pattern ERG-ABS with the awareness that some Meso-Cordilleran languages have an asymmetrical pronominal case marking system,鈥� said Gonzales.

Call for the Future
During his opening remarks, Dr. Marvin Abreu, a professor from the UST GS, encouraged the academic community and other sectors of the society to value linguistic and cultural diversity and uphold mother tongue-based education to help in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals of UNESCO.
鈥淚 and my graduate students in Grammars of Philippine Languages are hoping that this kind of academic event will eventually turn into a strong and vigorous advocacy that will create ripples of this kind to all academic institutions alike as well as to other sectors of the society,鈥� Abreu stated.
Under the guidance of Abreu, graduate students from the University’s English Language Studies Doctorate Program spearheaded the webinar.
The international webinar was held in support of UNESCO’s call for a decade-long celebration of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2023-2032).
