PLM’s Wave 2017 stands out on its 3rd year

On March 4, 2017, a new Wave is coming to the Puerta Real Gardens, Intramuros. “Wave 2017: The Maskom Music and Arts Festival” celebrates its third year as Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila’s (PLM) fifth batch of public relations majors aims to follow the success of the two previous years.

For the past two years, PLM mass communication students have been crafting campaigns that have helped change perceptions about communication majors and inspired a movement of boldness. On its first year, Wave 2015 established what it meant to be a mass communication student with #ThisIsWhoIAm, breaking all the stereotypes that go with it. Then Wave 2016 went with # Beyond The Current, encouraging students to go beyond their limits and to chase after their dreams.

Now, Wave 2017 calls on communication majors to #StandOut and proudly wear the colors that make them unique. The campaign pushes students to celebrate their individuality and to stop blending in by jumping head first into the things they love. The campaign also aims to show that each and every person is creative and that in this diverse society, each person has the right to stand out.

Wave is one of the most anticipated mass communication events and has received an Award of Excellence from the Philippine Quill Awards 2016. Co-presented by Payless Xtra Big, Hunt’s Chili Beef & Beans, Griffin’s and Globe Telecom, Wave is sure to deliver the best for another exciting event that will mark the end of the school year.

The festival will be a platform for PLM communication majors to freely express themselves through their artistry and creativity in different mediums. A stand-up comedy contest will be featured as well as a screening of students’ original films during the open-air cinema. All these come together in a vintage carnival-themed package.
