Lagot (4th week)

Sept. 13- 17

For this week, I did almost the same things such as label tapes, deliver forms, photocopy, organize files, help find contacts and the like. What's different is the work environment, sobrang busy nila. Everyone was agitated. According to them that's what usually happens when initial plans fail. Almost all the backpack shoots had problems, several interviewees backed out, and some researchers didn't find good case studies for their stories. While everyone was busy making things work for the the coming episode, me and my co-intern Drea tried our bests to do something productive haha. Kahit hindi kami napapansin dun. Para kaming ghosts unless kailangan nila bigla ng something.

Sa linggong ito, napakadaming napagalitan. Sa four days na pagpasok ko, lahat may na-witness akong nasigawan, nasungitan, na-interrogate, napahiya somehow.

"Shape up, tandaan niyo yan", was the unforgettable line I heard from the Executive Producer as he demanded better outputs from some of the new researchers. That phrase sounded like, "better do good or else you're all fired I'm telling you". He was very very strict. Sabagay, hindi ko siya masisisi, siya ang humaharap kay Korina at siya ang nakakasalo ng lahat ng mood swings. Tama lang na magdemand siya ng mas magandang trabaho. What I love about Sir Otep is that he explains what's wrong with the output, he wants a good material, and he knows what he's talking about. He makes you understand your shortcomings and dares you to step up and be better.

Habang stressed lahat at hindi din kami maka-stay sa office ng matagal dahil madaming staff, Cecille(PA) took the initiative to make our experience there worthwhile. She helped us understand the system of the production, she toured us around ABS-CBN, she shared her feelings about work, she became our friend. Kahit napapagalitan din si Cecille, natatanggap niya, at marami kami natutunan sa kanya. Sa pagsama-sama ko kay Cecile, I got to understand the people from Rated K more. I got to appreciate the life in Rated K, the passion in everyone that keeps the show going.
