Introduction
The efforts of the Media Education Series of TBCMP was divided into two major tasks:
Aside from these efforts, we are also happy to cite to you some of our major programs
not under this grant but is strongly continuing through the help of the Order of Carmelites in the
Philippines and other local partners. In this way, you will see the extent of TBCMP services to
other sectors.
Film Dialogue – is held every 2nd Saturday of the month in the Titus Brandsma
Center in Manila. Featuring foreign language/art films, this activity aims to
encourage dialogue among the viewers on the films’ content and ‘spirituality’ and
on how the film relates to one’s own spirituality or meaning of life.
Spiritual Retreat and “Open Space” Encounters – a venue and opportunity for
media practitioners to take a break, reflect on the Word of God thru Lectio
Divina, moments of silence, listen to each heart’s desires and share the varied
faith experiences.
PROGRAM REPORT
October 2003-October 2004
Workshops and training are focused more on the planning of activities for the media
education training program of the parishes and formation houses we have serviced. They were
also called to be active, but critical audiences by helping them in deconstructing media content
through films and other medium. They were given tips on how they can cultivate analytical,
critical thinking as audiences.
The Media Literacy Education Program or MLEP ensures the effectivity of the
lectures/seminar-workshops by developing modules and offering them to different
schools/colleges/universities, seminaries/formation houses and lay communities. We develop the
module according to the needs of the school/seminar or the community. Also, we develop a
module that integrates two of the important concepts– Media and Spirituality. Also, Film
Dialogue as a new concept has been developed as a technique and a tool for responsible film
viewing.
Below are the other Course Titles of the modules TBCMP is offering:
The list of the beneficiaries of the seminars using the modules are in a summary list after
the course descriptions and a detailed activity report – with photo, attendees, date and time,

They came up with the following suggestions for their concrete actions:
Homiletics – inject present situations and use characters in “telenovelas” watched by the
people every night and relate it to everyday activities and values manifested by these
characters. (The seminarians are given the chance to preach, it is a part of their curriculum
and training).
Letters to the Editors of community/national newspapers
Give media education to parishioners.
Film Dialogue by BEC (Basic Ecclesial Communities) – once or twice a month they will be
watching together a film and dialogue within the group.
Give retreats to media practitioners.

Archdiocese-owned radio to discuss relevant issues spontaneously.
