Award-winning journalist Atom Araullo is set to tackle a unique challenge as he becomes a student pilot for an episode of I-Witness titled “Pangarap na Paglipad,” which will air on Saturday (June 8) at 10:15 p.m. on GMA.
For three days, Atom undergoes ground classes and intensive training in Dumaguete with the goal of learning how to fly and pilot a plane.
During his time as a student pilot, he encounters individuals who have devoted their lives to the aviation industry. One of his classmates, Emie Timawain, used to work as a janitress and runner at the school for 10 years before being granted a scholarship last year to become a student pilot.
Atom also meets Captain JT Cordova, one of the top instructors at the aviation school, who began his own journey in 2013. Having become a pilot at the age of 17, he has since taught over 30 students in the last decade.
As Atom approaches the challenge with determination, the question remains: will he successfully take off and navigate a smooth flight?
