To celebrate World Communications Day 2011, the Daughters of St. Paul of Pasay, Philippines organized an original initiative entitled Family Media Poster-Making Contest.
The families of our sisters’ lay collaborators (Paulines Lay Mission Partners) participated enthusiastically in this event, which centered on the WCD theme. Nineteen colorful and well-crafted posters were submitted to the jury, which evaluated them on the basis of originality, relevance to the theme and overall impact. Sr. Clothilde de las Llagas, fsp, who spearheaded the initiative, explained how the digital media (radio, TV, cell phones, the Internet and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter) can affect family interaction and relationships today.
First prize was awarded to the poster submitted by the family of Richard and Marlene Mandalupe, who said that using the digital media properly is an expression of love of the family, of others and of God.
