Good morning
I am Elle Cabiling, 2nd year BA Journalism student from UP Diliman.
I checked po the list of members and I tried contacting some of them, although without success.
I was wondering if you could refer me to any of your members. I would like to interview any of them. We were tasked po kasi sa J102 to interview a journalist/reporter that covers the environmental beat.
Thank you so much for your time! Hope to hear from you soon
