as a media minister FR. KALI PIETRE M. LLAMADO BRANDING Commodities compete based on price and features. Brands, on the other hand, connect – they build relationships with people. Beyond a logo or a name, your brand is the unique space you own in people’s hearts and minds. A strong brand inspires trust and loyalty from people. – Cherry Kho, Bluethumb SYNODALITY What is the Manila Cathedral for you?
What do you remember when you
think of the Manila Cathedral?
What words do you connect to the
Manila Cathedral? The BRAND is not a façade nor a beautiful cover, but our shared vision. The MEDIA should not be a COVER, BUT A REFLECTION. INVEST IN PEOPLE JESUS began his ministry by calling people. “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 Disciples, not fanatics. We began by focusing much on the media, but we must also move beyond and start the formation of disciples. We are not just training media people, but disciples of Jesus. FOCUS ON THE CONNECTION, NOT THE ATTENTION. GOD Good encounters us not in the destination, but SAMARITAN in the journey. Wherever we are along the path, God encounters us. Not in the cleanliness of the temple, but in the dusty road of life. We focus not on the achievements, followers, fame, awards, but in the journey of connecting with people. If you focus on the attention, you will become a Catholic troll. SOCIAL MEDIA may modify our behavior, self-image, values, attitude without us knowing it. So we need to evangelize social media, and be the conscience in social media. If your message does not touch the conscience, then you are just entertaining the people.
