In pursuit of an impactful journey, we took our chances to go beyond the familiar balloons, finally sailing to another adventure in our final semester as college undergraduates in the journalism department of Bicol University—College of Arts and Letters.
Taking our chances with clouds of uncertainties, we decided to move from Bicol to Manila to start our internship diaries. Daring to learn more about in-depth reporting and investigative journalism, we made it to the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) internship program at the University of the Philippines (UP) Village, Diliman, Quezon City.
"Braving Fate" candidly recounts our experiences as interns at the country's leading investigative journalism network, particularly during the lead-up coverages to the 2025 elections, where we explored the issues surrounding the Philippines' political landscape and its impact on marginalized communities.
This is the first issue and volume of Braving Fate.
