Based on the last essay (Gideon Lasco's "The Art of 'Hugot' in our Republic of 'Sawi'"), let's do a census on the issue via video interviews. In your respective groups, interview six to eight people from different backgrounds or age groups asking the question:

"Why do Filipinos love hugot?"

This is what you call a "man on the street" interview. It typically involves interviewing random people you meet on a street about a certain topic. It's usually done to get a general idea of what people think or how they feel about a certain issue. Here are some guidelines in doing it properly but I just need to highlight the following:

1. Choose an appropriate location - Interviews in public are already challenging for audio quality. In order to have less background noise, try to choose an interview location that is far away from busy areas (that means no playgrounds unless you have a top quality microphone).
2. Approach your subjects respectfully - Don't just come up to a person and ask a question. If the person you'll be interviewing is a complete stranger, give a background of yourself, the purpose of your interview and a general idea of the topic. For example: "Hi, I'm [name here], a student from St. Joseph's Academy; I was wondering if I could have a few minutes of your time to ask a few questions about Filipinos and love. Is it okay if we record this?" Always conduct yourselves with openness and respect.
3. Select a diverse pool of interviewees - Choose interviewees from different backgrounds; having a diverse pool better assures diversity of answers. One could be someone from the grade school department while another could be a batchmate. You can also interview a teacher, your parent, your bus driver, or someone you play basketball with during the weekend. Take note of your interviewees' first names and backgrounds but if they want such information to remain confidential, that's fine too.

While it's preferable to have the interviews done in English, Filipino interviews will be accepted if it would make your subjects more comfortable in answering. Put all the clips together into one video with a short clip introducing the group and a final clip of your group synthesizing the information you gathered from the interviews. The total video time shouldn't go beyond 8 minutes. Again, the format should be as follows:

Group introductory clip + 6-8 interviews + Group synthesis

Save the video file in mp4 format and upload it in the class stream. See the video below for a good example of a man-on-the-street interview.
