Mass Communication Society (MCS) annually celebrates the Mass Comm Fair to help its fellow students showcase their talents and be inspired of what they got. Mass Comm Fair (MCF) is a good setting for Mass Comm students as it is intended for them.
The MCF week was held last February 15-17 at the IAS Promenade (AB Grounds). The big event was held on February 17 (Thursday) at the FEU-Auditorium wherein qualified students showed their talents and contested in a competition of singing and dancing.
The MCS Officers have issued the remaining Organizational Shirts outside the Auditorium all through out the event. Students of Mass Communication have attended the event but its officers have failed to maximize the seats of the Auditorium. The reasons for this failure could be: (a) not all MC students have classes that day; (b) the MC third year students are busy doing their Productions; (c) the MC fourth year students are busy finalizing their thesis work; and/or (d) because of the Miting de Avance scheduled on the same date but timed two hours after the MCF started, which may be some MC students waited for it.
MCF big event is consisted of Mass Comm Idol, a singing contest, and the other which is contest of amateur dancers.
In my life in Far Eastern University, I was not able to attend the Mass Comm Fair. Last year, my reason is I was preparing and rehearsing for our stage play, a production organized by 3rd year students in fulfillment of their course requirement. Our production team did not allow us to attend the MCF as we would have to stage our play the next day. This year, I was not able to attend the MCF because I was busy preparing for the Miting de Avance as I was one of the candidates running for a position; another is I was not allowed to go at the Auditorium because I might be caught disqualified as it would be considered as illegal campaigning.
Based on my assessment, the MCF was still a success because the students have enjoyed the event. However, my friend Ma. Carla D. Lapore, also got it to be on the 2nd place as she joined the Mass Comm Idol ’11. It is still a success for us barkada and still waiting for a celebration.
