BAGUIO CITY – Mountain Province Rep. Maximo Y. Dalog, Jr. urged the media to maintain their credibility saying this will allow them to effectively disseminate right information to the people on programs of government.
Dalog was guest of honor and speaker during the recent induction of the new set of officers of the Baguio Correspondents and Broadcasters Club (BCBC) here at Camp John Hay clubhouse through sponsorship of the Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB).
Dalog said being the repository of information, the media must appropriately inform and educate the public on programs, projects and activities of the government considering people deserve to be provided with right information for them to be guided in coming out with their own opinion on what is happening around them.
He expressed his gratitude to the new set of BCBC officers for inviting him to be their guest of honor and speaker and wished them the best of luck in their endeavor to help in providing the people with the right kind of information considering the emergence of the social media which seems to create confusion on the latest happenings in the different parts of the world.
Dalog congratulated the new set of BCBC officers and the media sector for taking the challenge of confronting the emerging threat to the Fourth Estate because it will be an enormous task ahead of them in trying to inculcate to the people the right information beneficial in molding a holistic society.
Dalog also congratulated the previous set of BCBC officers for confronting the emerging challenges of the sector which had been the reliable and credible source of information the past decades.
The BCBC is the oldest media organization in the city which had been serving as the unifying factor among different media organizations in Baguio and Benguet.
Dalog said one of the important characteristics that media personalities should possess is credibility because it will be the one that will chart the future of the media in this highly competitive industry as the mainstream media is now under threat by the social media with the use of various state-of-the-art platforms.
                The 41-year old lawmaker is the son of the late Mountain Province gov. and Rep. Maximo Dalog, Sr. who worked as an officer of the Department of Agrarian Reform in Mountain Province aside from being a practicing lawyer before he was elected as the province’s representative to the House of Representatives during the May 2019 synchronized local and national elections.
He assured his support to programs and projects of the media organization, especially in trainings for its members to improve their skills and update their knowledge on latest trends of the media in the global village.
