Abstract (English)

Fortuno, Miguel R., Ortiz, Aidan Rune O., Rosales, Randall B., Balang Araw: An Exhibit on Radio and TV Archives, Bachelor of Arts (Major in Communication Arts), November 2025, De La Salle University. This thesis highlights two groups of local broadcast media preservationists, namely institutional and independent archivists. The landscape of broadcast media is rapidly changing. Mediums like radio and TV are being replaced by streaming services and short-form video apps. The thesis then serves not just as a “nostalgia trip,” but also as a platform for archivists to publicize their efforts as well as connect to other archivists. The project as a whole is rooted in the archival efforts of the various archivists in the Philippines. Reaching out to various independent and institutional archives in the country, the researchers curated a collection of archival materials being kept alive by these caretakers of media. Taking the form of a physical exhibit, Balang Araw presents this collection through an interactive experience; mirroring the experience of communal TV viewing, or the tactile feeling of inserting a VHS tape inside a player, for example. This experience aims to connect the generations that grew up with this technology with the ones that didn’t, hopefully instilling the importance of the advocacy that archivists are championing. The exhibit ran from November 3 - 8, 2025 in the Learning Commons, found in the 6th floor of Henry Sy Sr. Hall in De La Salle University Manila. It contained loaned archival materials, such as VHS tapes and the digitized versions of archived broadcasts. There was a communal viewing area where visitors could stay and watch these broadcasts at their own leisure. There were QR codes that could be scanned for more information about certain materials. The researchers also made a video walkthrough for those that were unable to visit the exhibit.

Abstract (Filipino)

Fortuno, Miguel R., Ortiz, Aidan Rune O., Rosales, Randall B., Balang Araw: An Exhibit on Radio and TV Archives, Bachelor of Arts (Major in Communication Arts), November 2025, De La Salle University. Ang tesis na ito ay nagbibigay-ilaw sa dalawang grupo ng mga tagapangalaga ng broadcast media sa Pilipinas – ang mga institutional at independent na arkibista. Mabilis ang mga pagbabago sa mundo ng broadcast media. Ang karaniwang paraan ng pagpapahayag tulad ng radyo at telebisyon ay unti-unting napapalitan ng mga streaming service at short-form video apps. Ang tesis na ito ay hindi lamang paraan para magbalik-tanaw, bagkus ito rin ay paraan para sa mga arkibista na isulong ang kanilang adbokasiya at makakilala pa ng mga kauri nila. Ang proyektong ito ay nakaugat sa pagsikap ng mga arkibista sa pag-aalaga ng lumang midya. Sa pakikipagusap sa mga independent at institutional na arkibista ay nakabuo ng koleksyon ng mga broadcast media archives ang mga mananaliksik. Sa anyo ng pisikal na eksibit, ipinakita ng Balang Araw ang koleksyon na ito gamit ang interactive na pagpapahayag; tulad ng pananalamin ng karanasan ng panonood ng telebisyon kasama ang iba, o ang tactile na pakiramdam ng pagpasok ng bala ng VHS sa loob ng player. This experience aims to connect the generations that grew up with this technology with the ones that didn’t, hopefully instilling the importance of the advocacy that archivists are championing. Ang layunin ng eksibit na ito ay ang pagkonekta ng mga henerasyong naranasan ang teknolohiyang ito sa mga henerasyong hindi, na sana’y makatulong sa pag-unawa nila sa halaga ng adbokasiya na isinusulong ng mga arkibista. Ang eksibit na ito ay itinanghal mula Nobyembre 3 - 8, 2025 sa Learning Commons, na matatagpuan sa 6th floor ng Henry Sy Sr. Hall sa loob ng De La Salle University Manila. Ang nilalaman nito ay mga hiram na archival materials, tulad ng mga bala ng VHS at mga naka-digitize na lumang broadcast. Mayroong communal viewing area na kung saan puwedeng tumambay ang mga bisita at manood ng mga broadcast. Mayroon ding mga QR codes na puwedeng ma-scan para sa karagdagang impormasyon sa mga materyales. Gumawa rin ng video walkthrough ang mga mananaliksik para sa mga hindi nakabisita sa eksibit
