knowledge, skills, and values needed to contribute positively to the media landscape
and society at large.

concurrent individual and group contests in both the Filipino and English

students to showcase their journalistic skills, fostering healthy competition and
camaraderie.

Each participant can expect to improve their journalistic skills and gain valuable
