It's my Junior year in college and this is the time where the climax of a college student happens! As a Broadcast Journalism student, we are required to do news packages where we need to cover stories base on what beat (topic) the professor will assign to us.
Our first news package beat was National/Politics. Since it's Politics, we decided to search for the schedule of hearings in the Senate of the Philippines. We have the schedule, venue and names of the senators and committees but we don't have any idea how to go there and what to do and not to do when attending a hearing. So I thought that i should write about this for you guys!
How to go to Senate of the Philippines
If you're from Tagaytay or Cavite:
- In Emilio Aguinaldo H-way, take a bus going to Pasay or Baclaran.
- Go to Baclaran and walk near to Mc Donald's.
- In front of Mc Donald's, there's an orange cab going to the Senate.
- Ride the cab and tell the driver to drop you near the Senate.

To Do & Not To Do inside the Senate of the Philippines
- Come early. You don't want to make a scene entering the hall and Senators, Congressman and Media people are looking at you.
- Bring your Student ID or Media press ID. This will be your life savior! Trust me.
- Wear appropriate clothes. It's better if you wear Business clothes like slacks, leather shoes and blazer.
- Do not wear rubber shoes.
- Use the left elevator. The right elevator is for Senators and Staff.
- Learn to greet the guards and other staff inside. Simple Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Thank you will do.
There you go guys! I hope that this post helped you. Let me know your reaction and questions (if you have any). You can reach me here.
