Tha Making of the Reproductive Health Article

We were grouped according to topics, and from the groups, we'd have to search for our own angle for a new-feature article. It somehow fell to me to discuss government programs concerning reproductive health.

When I first sought out the DOH office, I got lost and found myself in a blood specialist hospital. I wasn't in the mood to go transylvanian and go "vlad, vlad, I vant yur vlad", so I left. I got lost two times until my mother referred me to the DOH regional director for Cebu. But the only time I was available, she wasn't.

I ended up having a willing victim collect my information for me and I wouldnt have been able to do the article without that info.

I guess this experience pretty much highlighted the importance of time and connections when it comes to articles...
