“’Wag kayong magsasawang suportahan ang inyong mga Faculty Expert Service Providers. This was a timely and relevant initiative of the TKMD that for the first time, may na-organize na capacity-building activity aimed to enhance your writing skills. And we are looking forward that you get to capture the stories of service and hope during various extension activities,” Engr. Emir Lenard SF. Sicangco, OUES OIC-director, highlighted during his opening remarks.

Succeeding this, Ms. Jhian Padilla, technical staff of TKMD for Publications, delved into "Development Communication Writing." Her talk provided insights into the structure of development communication articles, emphasizing the need for effective storytelling and engaging content to convey crucial messages to diverse audiences.
