At a very young age of 10, with a pure heart and excited mind, Roella Marcelle M. Bautista started to join the field of writing. Through the years, she had a mix of up and down experiences but kept holding on because she found comfort in the arms of writing. Born and raised in a peaceful community in the province of Isabela, she strives to bring honor to her hometown and to her family as well. This young writer never forgets to push herself to her limits and believes that there is no other way to start another chapter of her writing journey but in UP. As she enters the University of the Philippines Los Baños under BS Development Communication, along with her hopes and dreams, she firmly holds on that someday all of her efforts and learning would be of great help and will be used as tools for development. In addition, she understands that through writing, everybody is provided with the chance to develop and realize their full potential.
A very rare photo that captured legit happiness and laughter.
A lot of people, events and experiences made this young writer to be who she is today. Being a part of her elementary and junior high school newspaper had its share in building the foundation that she has for writing. She had experienced writing in different forms such as news, feature, and editorial which made her gain the nickname ELLAborative. However, out of all events that she had explored, copy editing and headline writing was the closest to her heart. On the other hand, she enjoys reading about current issues and making her own stand which she believes is important because it makes our minds critical and for us to not just accept everything that is coming before us.
In the future, the serious but child-like Ella is hopeful to be a media producer especially in the field of broadcast communication. One of her reasons is that she would like to reach a greater audience to communicate and educate with. Her vision is to let everyone know that problems can be traced to its root causes and can be solved through information and communication. She had seen the situation of some marginalized sectors of the society and she stands that when you have seen and known the truth, it is already a sin to close your eyes. Also, she aims to use her expertise to be of service and to reach the people whose voices are not heard. Although she is still just on the beginning of a harder but greater journey, she still chooses to believe and manifest that to further strengthen her foundation in writing to be used for development, there is No way but UP.
