THE MAKING
 |
| Janine Rose Lumanag Photography |
February 09, 2011 (Wednesday) , we were still trying to figure out on how to make a role play out of the topics we've chosen. That day, since some of us wanted a prostitution-based-role-play and some wanted to make it a little serious and realistic, we decided to make different scenarios out of the different topics we've chosen and made Balitang Siksik of Banana Split the main concept (with a twist of Economics "Espesyal"). *wink*
These pictures were taken during the final rehearsal. Props were made during our break. :)
It was a draft made by Rose Anne Esteban and Delfa Alvar which turned out to be our final script. For the program flow:
1. introduction
2. scene 1
3. scene 2
4. advertisement
5. scene 3
6. finale
THE PROPS:
There were more props used during our presentation ( we have the video to prove it) yet we weren't able to take pictures of them.
1. The Jimstea mugs and poster during the advertisement,
2. the graph used during the prostitute scene,
3. the table used during the workers' strike, and
4. the hearts used for the Banana Mobile promotion. :)
THE CONCEPT
Balitang Seksek is a TV program for Economic Issues. Aside from live updates from field reporters, during the program, videos concerning economic issues are reposted. Since the concept came from Banana split, a comedy gag show, we made an extra effort to make it funny and realistic.
We had 7 news anchors ( (1) Delfa Alvar, (2) Natara Jean Mozo, (3) Vincent Obedo, (4) Lora Canastra, (5) Janel Baino, (6) Rose Esteban, and (7) Yollaine Galias) on stage who also played the different characters in the three scenes presented and the advertisement.
THE ROLE PLAY
Our introduction was not exactly the same with Balitang Siksik of Banana Split. We made our own script and Choreography. Names of the famous artists of Banana Split were not used/mentioned during our presentation.
Scene 1 was all about competition and forces of supply and demand. The competition was between NokiYaki and B-Mobile. They were two mobile companies who were up to promotions. Since nowadays the demand in telecommunication is very high, they were trying to attract the consumers to avail their services and this created competition. The demand was high and competition between suppliers increased. Yet the promotional advertisements of the two companies were different. NokiYaki aimed to attract consumers with loved ones working abroad. While B-mobile aimed to attract young consumers who are looking for partners.
Scene 2 was all about dead weight loss/tax. Since the demand for prostitutes was high, the government decided to legalize prostitution and taxed it. The tax imposed by the government had a great effect in the demand for prostitutes. Dead weight loss was high. The quantity demanded and supplied decreased. The price paid by consumers increased and the price received by the prostitutes decreased. Before the tax was imposed, the consumer (Vincent Obedo) can afford to pay for 3 prostitutes, but after prostitution was legalized the price of the prostitute increased and he couldn't afford 3prostitutes at the same time. There was a decrease in the demand for prostitutes and a decrease in supply because prostitutes would now receive less because of the tax imposed.

Scene 3 was all about Cost of Production. There was a strike in the company because of layoffs. The reason was the diminishing marginal return. The company was hiring new laborers yet they were not buying new equipments for production. For every additional laborer, there is a diminishing marginal return. So they produce less than what was expected so it's a risk for the production. If there were more workers but few equipments it would surely produce negative marginal returns. This would hinder the primary objective of a business entity which was to minimize cost and maximize profit. Yet like what we usually see on television news, laborers failed to understand this and they continue to organize strikes against there respective companies.
Our finale was not exactly the same with Balitang Siksik of Banana Split. We made our own script and Choreography. Names of the famous artists of Banana Split were not used/mentioned during our presentation.
