PROJECT DESCRIPTION

OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT: The Titus Brandsma Center-Media Program (TBC-MP) is the prime mover of the Media Ministry of the Order of Carmelites in the Philippines. The program has existed for years now with which it envisions itself as:



An instrument to the formation of collective awareness on the potential use of media and communication for local community development towards an active participation and re-appropriation of people’s own culture; and, an “open space” for people to discern on the critical role of media in the articulation of life’s values and meaning.

Along the years, TBC-MP endeavors to advance the role of all means of communication in all aspects of community life thru spirituality, research, education and networking within and among communities, groups, schools and others. It creates and provides venues for encounter and support to people’s initiatives for responsible and critical media practice. It guides and helps shape the collective orientation and values of media practitioners, the would-be practitioners and the general public in the vision of the Church’s Social Communication and of the life of Blessed Titus Brandsma – a Carmelite martyr during the Nazi war and to which Carmelite media ministry is named in honor of. As an approach, it analyses the media as a medium with its own language and grammar. It searches into the biases of the sources from various perspectives without necessarily condemning them but appreciating their value added to effectively educate faith it the light of the gospel and in the teachings of the Church. Having culled this lesson, the TBCMP proposes the holding of monthly film dialogues and quarterly fora on Media and Spirituality to further engagement on social communication. The project is dubbed as: AN ‘OPEN SPACE’ FOR MEDIA AND SPIRITUALITY (A continuing dialogue and media education project) Media plays an important role in shaping consciousness and attitude of people. It is a tool by which people realizes various world-views, diversity of cultures, perspectives in life and standpoints on varied issues confronting them. In the Philippines, media holds a strong position in the awareness of people on himself/herself, on his/her environment and of the series of events that mold his/her being. It is able to arouse sentiments and move people to action. It is with the above background that the project is conceived to face the challenge of media to faith in the modern world. To discover ways and mean in maximizing new technology for evangelization. Through dialogue and education of the use of media one may discover and cultivate his/her lived-spirituality rooted in the very foundation of Christian faith. The project is in itself a process of dialogue. It is a search of lived-spirituality through media education and film dialogue. It is generally designed to cultivate a solid foundation to faith amid the various influences and demands of the time. That, in a mediated world a ‘space’ must be created for critical analyses of media to facilitate reflections and sharing of faith-life experiences between and among people. That such “open space” is a necessary venue for interaction, education and formation through acceptance and appreciation of socio-economic, political and cultural diversities. Specifically, the project aims to:    

B2

facilitate continuing encounter and dialogue of faith life experiences on and through films and televisions stories; provide venues for deeper understanding of faith and spirituality in a world of modern technology; provide needed orientation for and encourage media practitioners, students and the general public to effect change in people’s lives through the Church teachings on social communication; and utilize media as a potent tool for evangelization in a globalizing world.

AREAS TO BE SERVED BY PROJECT: The whole project is divided into two categories: The monthly Film Dialogue and the Media and Spirituality Seminars.

3  

The monthly Film Dialogue is open to all the faithful. Primarily, it aims to serve media practitioners, students, educators, church people and basic Christian communities in the dioceses within Metro Manila. The Media and Spirituality Seminar shall target 4 key cities in the country in its first year of implementation. It aims to serve media educators, journalists, broadcasters, play-writes, film makers, teachers, students, priests, nuns and lay leaders in the following areas: o Metro Manila o Cebu City o Bacolod City o Davao City

Board of Directors of Titus Brandsma Center (BOD) Advisory group in the project sites TBC-MP Secretariat [Key persons to handle the project are: Fr. Christian Buenafe, O.Carm. (Director), Ms. Ma. Fatima Villena (Coordinator), Bro. Arnold Alindayu, O.Carm. (Asst. Program Coordinator) and other facilitators; Fr. Reynold Caigoy, O. Carm, Bro. Noel Valencia, Ms. Ma. Rowena Ladaga.]

SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS SITUATION OF PROJECT AREA: The whole Philippines is experiencing financial crisis, social disintegration and disfranchisement brought about by political bickering and factionalism, corruption, illegal gambling, violation to human rights and media sensationalism. This is true to all areas where the project is intended. Yet amid this reality faith holds majority of the Filipino to rise above experienced difficulties and find strength in their organizations, associations or groupings for mutual support and collective action. Key cities in the country e.g. Metro Manila, Cebu, Bacolod, Davao are hubs of people in search for greener pasture. Each have their own stories to tell; of joys and sufferings; of victories and failures; and, of hopes to pursue and aspirations to fulfill. Economically, majority of the Filipino people live below poverty line. Though lower in rate compare with other provinces in terms of poverty incidence, city dwellers survived in offering their labor for low wages. Whereas indicators claim more than Php600/day for a family of six to survive, legislated wage is pegged below Php300/day. Prices of basic commodities are high including rates for electricity and water. Socially, Philippine city centers are arenas of conflicting values – that of an old and traditional ways and that of the ‘new wave’ brought about by rapid change and high technology. Either of the two however has their own share of positive and negative effects to individuals, families and communities. While some live in low-cost housing many dwell in slum areas and highly dangerous locations such as under the bridges, along dirty creeks and around garbage dumpsites. Though sub-human in condition, everything seems to suffice just to provide a family a home. Public elementary and secondary schools go into two to three shifting a day to accommodate big student population. An average of 60-70 per class; a classroom for an average of 4 classes; a toilet facility of one for every 500 children; a teacher for every 300 students or pupils. Amid this reality, many are still out of school looking for some means to help feed a family and survive a day. Others resort to sniffing addictive substances and taking illegal drugs as temporary relief to problems related to poverty. Malnutrition remains a big problem. Poverty is luring young people to be victims of human trafficking (both physical and virtual thru internet), involve in illegal businesses and transactions. Crime rates are high even as the government imposes death as penalty. Most if not all convicted are poor who cannot afford to defend themselves in court. Prison conditions are below human standard. Amid the socio-economic and political condition in the city centers, one finds clinging to faith to maintain sanity. This is manifested in the mushrooming of various churches, charismatic groups, faith communities of all sorts. Liturgical services are observed. Various church programs and projects are conceived and implemented to face up to the demands of changing culture and to ensure the laying of a solid foundation of faith. All these social conditions are daily heard over the radios, read in national newspapers and local tabloids, witnessed both in the dark places and busy streets of the cites and lived by the Church.

COMMUNICATIONS SITUATION OF PROJECT AREA: (Include new technologies)

4 At the 4th BISCOM on e-generation in 2002, participants were struck at the significant insight that Asia has been profoundly impacted by the communication revolution in the world. Many Asian countries are emerging as information technology (IT) powers and are contributing a major share to the communication revolution in the world. True enough this reality is clearly manifested in the city-centers in the Philippines particularly in areas where this project is to be implemented. At the latest available record of the Philippine Census, almost all families in the urban areas are in possession of radio, television, video camera receiver or personal computer. This does not include yet modern telecommunication gadgets which noted the Philippine as the text (sms) capital of the world. Internet cafes mushroom in all urban areas as computer courses are institutionalized in the elementary, secondary and college curricula. Thus, unregulated access to worldwide web becomes a phenomenon on various reasons. These range from electronic mail purposes, researches, entertainment and business. The easy and unrestricted access to communication opens the floodgate to the formation of new culture both beneficial and detrimental to the individual, group and people. On the entertainment side, movie houses abound in the city centers as video and film productions continue to come up with documentaries and stories on films on various themes. These materials are reproduced and sold by thousands in disks formats to allow viewing in residences, private clubs, offices and even public places. Looking at the situation above, one can infer that the Philippine mass media including other forms of communication production and distribution is one of the “freest in Asia”. Quoting from the article “Dissecting the Philippine Mass Media Today”, media has a tripartite role in society: political, economic and social. These include duty as an information disseminator, responsibility in creating and reflecting public opinion, function as watchdog on government, establishment of pop culture, task of building a nation and entertainment.

B6

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND ITS PARTICULAR NEED IN THE AREA: The influence of mass media is pervasive. As a tool, it has the capacity to change value and can be instrument to provide a solid foundation to faith in the modern times. Either way, it remains an instrument for the Church to optimize and maximize for “witnessing and dialogue of faith and life, gospel and culture, Church and society.” The project is “creating an open space for media and spirituality”. It shall provide for a much-needed venue for dialogue between the media and spirituality in a person, with the group, within the community and amongst peoples. It is the TBC-MP’s response to the growing challenge of social communication to the Asian and Philippines Church. That is:  



Overcoming cultural and religious prejudices through sufficient knowledge of various cultures and religions; Developing appreciation to the prophetic role of media and social communication through acquisition of knowledge and skills for critical analysis on various communication mediums in a quest for self discovery and authentic spirituality Assisting media practitioners, students, basic ecclesial communities and church leaders in the promotion of a culture of peace and life and the conduct of media campaign for social change.

In particular, the project is consist of major activities: The Monthly Film Dialogue – This is otherwise known as pelikula@titusbrandsma. It envisions itself as an ‘open space’ for dialogue, interaction and reflection through film. It is committed to the following missions:     

create and atmosphere for open, critical analysis of films and facilitate reflection through dialogue; utilize film for education and formation; advocate acceptance and appreciation of cultural diversity through films; motivate film appreciation/promotion of film aesthetics; and, encourage quality works of independent filmmakers by screening them.

PROJECT FOR WHICH FUNDING WAS RECEIVED:

Media and Evangelization Community-Media Education Series

E4

HOW AND WHEN WAS PROJECT IMPLEMENTED: The Project was implemented last 2003. The efforts for this project were divided into two parts: 1) Module-making and development, and 2) Media Literacy Seminar-Workshops and Orientation / Philippine Media Set-up Awareness Seminars / Social Communication Courses. TBCMP has developed five general courses on Media and Evangelization for the Community Media Education Series. Community media, as we all now, does not only include the basic tri-media but the folk/traditional media as well. The facilitators emphasized on the appropriate use of media from where people came from: indigenous, inexpensive and highly accessible. Aside from the five modules, TBCMP has also written seven other modules on various topics such as: Media and Spirituality through Film Dialogue, Introduction to Film Dialogue, Media and Spirituality: The State of Philippine Media and the Challenges of Social Communication towards Evangelization, Church and Communication: Context and Challenges, Basic Journalism Course: A Focus on Media Critique and Analysis and panitikan@titusbrandsma: A New Approach to Literary Criticism and Theatre. This Community Media Education Series brought the team to different parts of the Philippines and reached out to major formation houses, seminaries, schools and communities. TBCMP has reached as far as Marawi City in Mindanao and Ilocos Norte in Luzon. Attendees of the seminars were mostly religious, lay workers and leaders, students, teachers and parents and members of the basic Christian Communities. This project was implemented by the members of the TBCMP team and at the same time guided by the members of the Board of the Order of Carmelites and key management teams from the Order also.

RESULTS OF PROJECT: Step by step through the projects supported by our International partners including SIGNIS, TBCMP has been seeing tremendous changes in the people it is serving. Orienting them with the current media landscape and issues made them conscious of how media can strongly influence their values and beliefs. They improved and much open and participative during discussion and are very active in watching films from different countries. They widen their views and perspectives and their choices of programs and films. They become more involved in community issues and try to offer suggestions in the discourse of the issues. Though, these are not enough gauge on how the efforts have affected them as media audience but these are indicators that changes are on the way and before we knew it, we have already a mass of critical and participative audience.
