I am watching this night's episode of The Correspondents about Palanan, Isabela's beauty anchored by Dominic Almelor. As words which comprise the documentary's lead enter my ears and register its meanings, I imagine myself in the television: I am Dominic Almelor, I have traveled to Palanan to paint a picture of the place in the map of Philippine broadcast. I unravel its virgin spots, interview the Agtas - the first settlers in the island - ask about the Palaneño's health concerns, and analyze their trade and commerce.
A thought came into my mind: it only takes a concrete bridge to modernize and industrialize a specific region. Palanan is still remote - considering the absence of any concrete infrastrasture with which travelers, tourists and products can traverse. Nevertheless, if the prospected bridge project will push through, the place will also already be considered an accessible region. Hence, domestic tourism, modern trade and commerce will emerge in the place.
Probably, this can be a good angle in comparing and contrasting two places - a modern and a remote one - in a documentary. Hmmm....
Almelor implicitly states it, "Ngayong wala pang kalsada, paano kung mayroon na?"
Currently in Aksyon Radyo, DZRH for my Internship. Pressure, but fun. I reported in radio a while ago. More to come, more to come :)
