The wacky side of the party! ZPPI Prexy Elmer Maghanoy VP for Broadcast Ragde Dagumo (standing) make fun by putting veil to Remai Alejado (PPB) and Michael Dablo
He is
Elmer Maghanoy, a Special Project Head of RMN-DXPR, who along with the rest of the ZPPI officials took their oath of office before Governor Auring E. Cerilles last December 27.
Maghanoy may have lost his bid as Barangay Captain in Dao but at least he is now the President of media organization in our province, Governor Cerilles remarked as she swore him into office as President of the club for the calendar year 2008.
He succeeded Marive “Maimai” Jongco, the Operations Manager of Radyo Bagting whose term ended when she turned over the key of responsibility to Maghanoy during the induction of officers and Christmas Party of the Press Club hosted by the lady Governor herself.
ZPPI, as a mother media organization in the province was formed some time in September 2002 conceptualized by the province’s pillar in Journalism and Pagadian Times Publisher Pede Lu.
PIA Acting Regional Director Dave Malcampo's turn to receive the white jacket from Congressman Victor Yu as Guv Auring E. Cerilles first handed a bag to him.
Guardian Balita Publisher Christopher C. Corgue was elected as First Press Club President, who served for over a year. During his term, the press club was active in participating in medical outreach. He was succeeded by Remai S. Alejado who was the editor of the Pagadian Times at the time.
Alejado was elected twice as ZPPI President for the years 2004 and 2005. It was during her incumbency that the press club was registered with the SEC. A series of activities were done like the Search for Ms. Campus Journalist and Halloween Party in cooperation with the PNP Ladies Circle which was a fund-raising activity of the club.
To date, ZPPI has bank savings with the Land Bank of the Philippines and ZamboSur Cooperative Bank with a total amount of at least P30-T. It is now a challenge for Maghanoy to set programs and activities that would strengthen both the club’s membership and its little fund.
