TIPS IN ASKING
QUESTIONS
1.Ask questions which are
answerable by YES or NO
for the contents of news
and editorial.
EXAMPLE
“Will there be an
increase in the price of
basic commodities this
summer”?
EXAMPLE
“Tumaas po ba ang
bahagdan ng mga
turistang dumating sa
Pilipinas sa nakalipas
na 2 taon”?
TIPS IN ASKING
QUESTIONS
2. For feature articles, ask
the 5 W’s and an H
questions. This will lead
for the elaboration of
details.
EXAMPLE
“What is the name of the
storm that made Ormoc
devastated 20 years
ago”?
EXAMPLE
“Paano nakabangong
muli nang mabilis ang
Ormoc mula sa
trahedya 20 taon na
ang nakalipas”?
TIPS IN ASKING
QUESTIONS
3. It is very important to
know your angle when
asking questions. If you
want to probe the details
of the topics, have a
particular direction for it.
EXAMPLE
ORMOC
(This is a generic topic)
This has to be narrowed down into several
areas. After this, choose one area you would
like to discuss
e.g. culture, tourist destinations, festivals,
people, means of living, tragedy, politics etc.
TIPS IN ASKING
QUESTIONS
Once you have chosen your
particular angle, make sure
that the questions you will be
asking are always inclined
into it. Otherwise, it will not
produce a good output.
