Maestre spearheaded a two-day training on Development Journalism dubbed as “News and Feature Writing” at the Sanitary Function Hall, Nabunturan on September 28-29, 2022.

Davao Bureau Chief Che Palicte from the Philippine News Agency (PNA) facilitated the first day of the training and Writer/Reporter Ruth Palo from the Manila Times on the second day, where they both shared their expertise.
