How can I avoid being manipulated and deceived by them? How can I be a part of them in a meaningful way? How can I use them to contribute to the development of my community? - This book will not only enrich classroom discussions but also inspire doing and participation. It is an
indispensable guide for learners as they become more aware of media in their lives, and learn to reflect and decide on the ways they deal with media and information. - Padayon: Media and Information in a Changing World is a complete resource for the core course Media and Information Literacy.

Dr. Ernesto Y. Sibal was one of the few Filipinos in academic publishing who can irrefutably lay claim to these three titles—Patriot, Pioneer and Innovator. A staunch patriot, Dr. Sibal fiercely advocated the vision of designating Filipino-authored books for young Filipino learners. This vision was enabled by the establishment of Alemar’s Bookstore in 1958, and through the foresight and drive of Alegria Rodriguez, who shared in the vision of her husband, she helped galvanize then fledgling Alemar's Bookstore as the place to go for textbooks and school needs, propelling it to become the first established bookstore chain in the country.
