Content of Reportage: Lexi Gonzales recalled that the Running Man experience was surreal. The original staff of the hit Korean series subjected them to a very unforgettable culture immersion techniques. While Buboy Villar centered his narrative on missed opportunities to grow as an artist during the Cosplay event with mask on. He said that the only place that he went to outside the Philippines was when he went to Cambodia. They were then informed that the project which was shelved for a while will now air its first episode on national television after almost three years. Fate silently indicated that this project is really for him. He also added that he did his best to make the series more enjoyable and palatable to the viewing public. Angel Guardian narrated that she will truly miss the subculture of the original staff and crew. Her co-stars were quick to tease her that it is as if she will cry on camera with the attachment that grew inside her psyche during the Running Man experience. The show is as real as it gets. Teleplay scripting was never ever used during the shoot. The Filipino cast are still mesmerized by that whole no memorization system. Lexi also added that she rediscovered her fighting spirit while shooting the episodes. Filipinos are truly resilient is her final take. Through sunshine or rain we are game. Glaiza De Castro also added that she was reflecting on the experience which was shared to them by the original cast and crew of the series. She confessed on camera that the challenges revealed their true colors including her. Ruru Madrid and Mikael Daez chose to remain in South Korea to spend quality time with their respective real life partners. The first episode will be aired here in the Philippines on September 3, 2022.

Subject of Reportage: Actual Report. Ease of Using The EDSA Carousel.
Did she fumble: False.
Content of Reportage: Brick and mortar system of schooling and working was suspended at the very least by the damaging effects of a Severe Tropical Storm which struck the Northern segment of the island of Luzon yesterday although the whole of Luzon was blanketed by torrential rains for a few hours which was more than enough to warrant a suspension. The 5:00 am snippet of this particular day is a passenger's delight. The Bonifacio Monument side of the EDSA Bus carousel is enjoying a low turnout scenario which is a euphoria to the regular commuters. It made their journey more of a walk in a park than the usual same old experience. Most of the patrons came in early to observe everyday courtesy by lining up although this day is a piece of cake as they are used to the queuing part of this whole system. During the airing three respondents where interviewed for documentation. (brevity) One of the two male respondents were polite enough to respond to ambush interview being made by the reporter. (remember it is not mandatory to respond). The first featured respondent said that his day was not hampered by in any way by flow of the queue. The female respondent on the other hand was mesmerized by the split second inquisition and she decided to go with what she expected the reporter is thinking about with regard to this "new" angle. The contrarian side (is her side) to the free ride service though it is unwarranted. The last of the featured passengers was pointing out that that it stopped raining as if they are responding to different sets of questions. They all said that they came prepared but the lack of the expected volume of passengers today is a welcome development. As of the time of live broadcast the rain is missing in action. The reporter is experiencing the gloom of the overcast sky so might as well take it as it is. Or else...

Subject of Reportage: Actual Situation report at Obando, Bulacan.
Did she fumble: False.
Content of Reportage: The everyday struggle restarted again for the parent and progeny partnerships as they go and went from one point to another during the brick and mortar school year of 2022 through 2023. In certain portions of Bulacan the flooding which started 48 hours ago is still knee deep although it looks ankle deep. Early in the morning is the time of the day for students of the morning shift to demonstrate their willingness to attend the cosplay camps that we label as school. Edwin Enriquez was exposing his willingness to accompany his "charge" (daughter Eunice) every single day for the rest of the remaining school year and economize while using a bicycle. Jexster is somewhat saying that he cannot contain his excitement as he mumbles, fumbles and slurs at every turn while taking the early morning interview from a Goddess. He expressed his firm partiality to the resumption of brick and mortar learning system. He has been missing the brick and mortar system for years, he also prefers riding in a Jeepney as his primary form of public transport. Clarissa Daclan is emphasizing her self-motivation mantra on camera that she will not skip a beat for her "charge". The everyday struggle is a piece of cake therefore the stressful effects of the same are negligible and ignorable to say the least. The scene on camera is being taken live from the Panghulo Road in Obando, Bulacan. Again the caught unawares or "residents" are quoted as saying that they have a very hackneyed yet reliable mantra in dealing with their unavoidable source of simplistic(invented) struggle. Do not complain, although we always complain and whine every single second of our miserable yet hellish existence. The reporter is concentrating on the fact that the flood waters is knee deep so it is to be taken again as it is. The flood water is also expected to become deeper than that as the Eight of the clock in the morning is about to begin. (High Tide).

Subject of Reportage: Actual reporting at the Bus Carousel. Another angle to explore.
Did she fumble: True.
Content of Reportage: Final blow (dagok) yet again for the commuting public as the free ridership service is slated to be terminated four months from now. A couple of hours before the break of dawn the courtesy lane for the pro bono bus ride baffles the reporter to the extreme. For sophomore reporters this queue is a masochistic enigma or is enigmatic masochism. Alaica Mariano is the first to be interviewed by the reporter. She is said to always take the three in the morning routine to avail of the free ride. Her point A is Malabon and her point B is Parañaque. In terms of thrift and economy this is truly the bringer of hope for the members of the miser sector (like Alaica) as this service is free for all. Even the rich can take a ride if they want to. Rolando Tesoro on the other hand is riding the pro bono bus everyday from Malabon City to Balintawak to replenish his stocks, inventory or wares as a stockist/seller/vendor. Leni Clutario works in Quezon City, she enumerated her reasons as to why she takes the early morning pro bono bus ride. Primarily she saves up to atmost 2 USD per day everyday. The "new" angle originated from the "drawing" board of ideas from the recently reinvigorated committee on transportation. It is not clear where the idea of service contracting budget discontinuity came from but the verbatim in the strictest sense of word is just a semantic gymnastics (speculation). (Certain interviews were presented but it is a speculators dream. Almost as always this is based on unrelated reply which was forcefully juxtaposed for whatever reason.) Before the broadcast ended the camera is focusing on a bus which is not a part of the inner concrete barrier of the EDSA Bus Carousel (it is most probably a provincial bus you will see the bike lane near the bus) but the live description was about the enigmatically long queue of the EDSA Bus Carousel.

Subject of Documentary: Solving the zeitgeist paranoia using the not so unique methodology of Generation Z. Abduction as a part of the fear system has a solution? Good cop and bad cop system to confuse young women? Whom is really trustworthy nowadays?
Did she fumble: Null.
Content of Documentary: The seasonal bogeyman is on the prowl. The solution of Generation Z is to completely disregard the policies regarding the possession of deadly weapons and the ever popular fad called mixed martial arts. Victoria Praxides whom is working as a model is so anxious about her distrust of strangely behaving admirers. She is always carrying deadly weapons to satisfy her hunger for you-know-what. She showed her portable knives on camera. The pepper spray is also in her list of must haves to keep her superbly calm disposition at night. She is apparently proud of her solution to the zeitgeist paranoia. Something happened to her a year ago, which turned her into someone with trust issues. She was thinking that a stranger is following her after coming home from a modeling gig. She called for help and strangers in the streets responded to her plea. She also added that everything that you have worked for all of your life will go to waste once a diabolical stranger succeeds with their diabolical plans. Segueing, if you want to go beyond the conventional self-defense objects there is a solution coming from a group whom are allegedly combat kata specialists, they call themselves Krav Maga Philippines. Dindo De Jesus explained that Krav Maga is not just about empty handed combat. It also deals with grabbing and ground guard position scenario and corresponding reaction to jockeying attempts to acquire physical dominance while grabbing, pounding, kicking, guarding and sweeping. He said that this is the fundamental game plan in dealing with street attacks or offensives as everything is so sudden and unpredictable although it looks as if it is really all about empty hand algorithms. Now after all that fuzz about Krav Maga let us meet Mela Rodriguez. She was a victim of helplessness in dealing with a real life car jacking scenario which she faced a while back. She exclaimed that if she knew self-defense techniques back then, the result will have been different. Fast forward to present day she is now a student of Krav Maga. Atleast a month of training made her feel that Krav Maga made a huge difference in her life in terms of combat level confidence. With her small frame she is thinking that she can handle criminal minds face to face. There is also a couple of seconds worth of footage about their training session which includes the actuations of the documentarian herself. The documentarian thought that it was grueling. Mela was her assigned sparring partner. She is strong according to the documentarian. Meet Angel Picazo the female instructor of Krav Maga whom confessed that she remembered the time when she was so incapable in dealing with the zeitgeist bogeyman. She added that she wanted to share their expertise when it comes to handling specific street menace whom we are all suppose to be afraid of today. The hitting the groin and knee to the body routine is still in their list of algorithms. Practice makes perfect is what the documentarian is focusing on doing. Is this documentary a Freudian slip of sorts? A few moments before the end of the documentary, another one of those crucial tip was demonstrated on camera by the instructors of the group. It deals with mount position that we see in the movies. Final word of advise about mind setting comes in last as the documentarian insisted in pressing for more rhetorically oriented self-defense.

Subject of Reportage: Actual reporting at Caloocan High School in 10th Avenue Caloocan City. Supplies allowance for public school mentors. Another angle to explore.
Did she fumble: True.
Content of Reportage: There is a proposal in the Lower House which is all about adding 2,000 pesos (40 USD) worth of teaching supplies allowance per month to those whom are teaching in the public brick and mortar teaching system. They are exempting these monthly allowance from taxes under the proposed bill. The bill wanted to insert this special allowance for tangible and intangible items. The aim is to help teachers mitigate the unnecessary shouldering of these monthly expenses. The caption states that the mentors will receive these subsidy to be exclusively used to purchase tangible and intangible school related supplies at their discretion so as not to antagonize them. It was also mentioned that the previous administration provided more allowance compared to the supposed allowance stated in the proposed bill. The first respondent to be featured on camera is Ana Riza Malicdem whom is by the way a high school teacher. She figured that the reporter is asking for a contrarian monologue which is why she blurted everything as if there is no tomorrow. She is complaining about something that is suppose to be the problem which they faced during the virtual schooling period which is unrelated to the present objective of the proposed bill. She computed that the 40 USD is not enough to cover all her school related expenses. She is complaining about acquiring a new laptop and everything. She added that they are using a PC and her monitor broke down. Take note that she has a laptop and a PC. She extended her narrative even further by adding the regular litany. She included the supplies that she bought and some deficit that she regularly shouldered whenever her students are unresponsive during the mandatory monetary collections in the classroom setting whom are by the way experiencing financial difficulties as well. Another respondent Imelda Vargas also a high school teacher exclaimed that without the insertion of extra allowance, mentoring is somewhat an obstacle. During the time of broadcast the reporter said that the flag ceremony just ended and she looked at the front gate to get a glimpse of the name of the school. She then proceeded with her brand oriented messages.

Content of Translated News: A collision of road train (truck) somewhere in West Java, Indonesia which claimed eleven lives including seven students. Twenty more were recorded injured by the authorities. It apparently hit a bus stop full of people. The proper authorities are still clueless as to how one thing led to another. Hailstorm in Spain the size of the fist came in by the barrel from above. It rained similar to this in Gerona. In Catalaunia , also in Spain they experience the same scenario as most who were in the open area ran for their lives. A one year old girl was killed after being hit by hailstones right in the head. A total of 50 people were injured and some suffered bone fractures.

Subject of Reportage: Live report at Quezon City. Christmas in September.
Did she fumble: True.
Content of Reportage: The last four months are the "ber" months as the popular Filipinism goes. The reporter openly made a claim that we are celebrating this event the longest in the world. Hopes and aspirations of respondents from Caloocan City were unearthed. As the most anticipated day of the year which is 115 days away brings more uncertainty and desperation. It also brings with it the paradox which is known as the mysterious or divine air of Christmas which was spoiled and muffled by the Medical Cosplay Event for more than two years. Now let us get to meet Florence Mayormita a guitarist. He expressed his excitement as the realistic conditions are beginning to simulate the celebratory mood of those people around him. The cash flow is still in the bear area but the fighting spirit of most people he is seeing is overflowing with jubilation. He surmised that people are probably on the thrift mode to have a chance to experience a more socially and financially charged Christmas. Now let us hear what Joselito Dayag has to say about all this tolerable overreaction. He focused his opinion around the changes being made by the proper authorities concerning Medical Cosplay restrictions. Now he blurted that families and extended families will get a chance to really experience the real definition of reunions as everything seems to be getting better by the second. In the past couple of years the Christmas celebration has been lifeless he said. He also added that based on his experience Christmas is being extended up to January first. Now there is this great anticipation that everything will get better. A porridge seller Lolita Palayo is frustrated though with the balancing act of Medical Cosplay Restrictions and Sidewalk Vending restrictions. Both of them has to intersect on rare Main Street bull run to fill up her cash register to the optimum level but the sidewalk restrictions are responsible for decimating her chances to achieve financial euphoria. She is hoping that everything will go back to normal as her cash flow problem is a constant pain in the neck. At Dapitan Arcade in Quezon City on the other hand the Christmas sets and items are on full display as Christmas in the first day of September is at hand. Other media entities converged in this place too. They are reporting the same thing and almost the same angle.
