Howie Severino's "Iskolar ng Bayan" on i-Witness
Airing on June 23, 2008, GMA 7
Monday night, after Saksi

    This Monday night, meet three teens from public schools, all headed for college at UP Diliman. Shadowed by Howie Severino and his I-Witness team, these youngsters carry the weight of their families and communities' expectations as well as their branding as part of UP's centennial batch.

    The son of a retired Leyte policeman, the daughter of a fishball vendor in Manila, the son of a jeepney driver -- these freshies are the prototypical scholars ng bayan in a campus increasingly populated by well-to-do graduates of exclusive high schools.

    Viewers will see their small worlds grow as they encounter strange characters and unexpected situations at university. Their freshman orientation is disrupted by the sudden appearance of rowdy campus rallyists, their introduction to a central part of UP life.

    Join these freshmen as they experience their first weeks as "Iskolar ng Bayan" in Howie Severino's back to school documentary, airing Monday late night on I-Witness.

    Tatlong mag-aaral mula sa public school na papasok ng UP Diliman ang sinundan ni Howie Severino para sa I-Witness. Dala-dala ng bawat isa ang pag-asa ng kanilang pamilya at komunidad, at ang tatak bilang miyembro ng centennial batch ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.

    Ang isa ay anak ng pulis mula sa Leyte, ang isa ay anak ng fishball vendor sa Maynila, at ang pangatlo ay anak ng jeepney driver. Sila ang mga kabataang tunay na maituturing na iskolar ng bayan, sa isang pamantasang unti-unting napupuno na ng mga maykayang mag-aaral mula sa mga eksklusibong high school.

    Makikita natin ang unti-unting paglaki ng kanilang mundo sa pagkilala ng mga bago nilang kaklase at sa pagharap nila sa ilang di inaasahang pangyayari. Ang kanilang freshman orientation ay ginulo ng mga ralyista. Ito ang tila naging hudyat ng magiging buhay nila sa pamantasan.

    Danasin ang buhay ng mga "Iskolar ng Bayan" sa dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino ngayong Lunes ng hatinggabi sa I-Witness.
