TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

There are unspoken feelings, ideas, and thoughts in our pretty heads that we cannot form into words that would explain what we want to express and convey. Luckily for me, I discovered writing as my tool to express myself, which helps me combine the letters in the alphabet to form a message I want to deliver. Writing becomes a habit until I reach this stage, this moment, and this phase in my life wherein I will take my writing into a battle I never thought I could survive. I'm a grade 12 graduating student; this is my last shot before I enroll in college. This may be my first time joining DSPC, but I'm willing to take a risk. 

Joining the Division Schools Press Conference is a stepping stone in my writing journey. It started when our subject teacher, Ma'am Cristy Embat, messaged me because of my answer in her exam in the essay part, wherein the topic is all about saying goodbye to someone. She said that I did well despite having an hour to finish the exam, yet I managed to formulate a piece that touched her heart. Ma'am Cristy then suddenly asked me if I would like to join journalism and be one of the representatives of our school in the upcoming DSPC in the event of feature writing in English. I was delighted at the news, so I immediately agreed and have been training since then. It was a rough road to go through, but smooth at the same time. On the event day, I was all giddy because of the overwhelming feelings I felt that day. I was excited but nervous. Seeing my co-writers from different schools made me feel like I was inside a box full of gods and goddesses because of the aura and presence they gave. I was worried, but I assured myself that it was ok; it was now or never. Later that day, as we entered our respective rooms to compete, I unexpectedly felt confident and brave, so it was not that hard for me to write my piece. I should be happy about it, but after the competition, I felt like I could not win it. I have this guts with me that whenever I feel nervous in a competition, I always win. However, when I feel too confident and not nervous at all, I always end up having no place. So I did not expect anything at all at the award ceremony, and I was right. I was not included in the qualifiers for RSPC, but fortunately, I was not disappointed in myself. Rather, I feel proud and happy that the world gave me this opportunity because it is an honor to be one of the representatives for DSPC. I am lucky enough to be trusted by our school, so whether I win or lose, I am happy.

DSPC is a stepping stone in my writing journey that I will never forget as it brings me to the next chapter of my journey. The experience was great, the people I am with are amazing, and the competition itself is fun. I may not be able to win it, but for me, I achieved something great.

" Monday Again "

Monday is here again, literally the fay of the week I despise the most. Well I have no vhoice but to enjoy the next few days because we have less than one month until our graduation.We started by working on our hydroponics project, carefully preparing the parts we need and ensuring that everything was running smoothly. It was exciting to see our progress and how much we've learned throughout the process. After that, we took the time to inquire about our research, gathering the necessary information and clarifying important details to keep our work on track. Condering that we wilk be having our final defense by the end of the month.

To wrap up the day, we had a crucial meeting in preparation for the RSPC at Tadian, Mountain Province. The discussion was filled with the schedule of our competition including the dates on when we will be going there. Overall, it was a day well spent, filled with productivity and anticipation for what's ahead!

Day 7: Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

One of the most important things I learned in senior high school was to step out of my comfort zone. My life motto is "You only live once," so I believe we should live life to the fullest. Try new things, even if you think you can't do them or if they seem hard. Just keep trying because you might not get another chance.

What I did was push myself to show my capabilities. I had nothing to lose by trying, right? I kept in mind that I didn’t want to reach a point in life where I regretted the things I didn’t do.

Before, I wasn’t the type to join contests at municipal meets or school events. But because I gained the courage to show what I could do, I joined slogan and poster-making competitions. I also participated in a sudoku elimination round, and by good luck, I made it through and represented our school at the municipal meet. I also tried joining campus journalism, even though I didn’t know much about writing. To my surprise, I was chosen to represent and compete in the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) and even made it to the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC).

I’m telling you, stepping out of your comfort zone is so rewarding. At first, it’s scary, but I swear, it’s worth it and so much fun.

A WONDERFUL JOURN-ey

It was a hot afternoon; my heart was pounding as the participants were being called one by one. I wasn't expecting my name to be called but there I was! walking up to the stage with other column writers who also thrived to claim a spot for RSPC. Actually, I was at least hoping to reach the top 10 but instead reached the top 5. It was memorable for me since it was my first time to join journalism, and I managed to reach regionals. To add, I've always wanted to be one of those contestants that were given the spotlight for thriving so far. It may be a little selfish, but sometimes I want myself to be known to a lot of people, even if it's just once in a while. Plus, it was my first and last time participating on something for my elementary year. Specifically on journalism. When "RSPC" came to my mind, I was nervous yet excited. I never knew writing could bring me joy. That's why being chosen to be a RSPC qualifier is my most memorable day. It may just be about writing, but to me it felt like home.

RSPC JOURNEY

1/3

January 20,

Division Schools Press Conference Day

We gathered in the venue at 8 am. The opening program began and we started taking notes of the speakers just in case.

About 9 am the mini presscon started it was all about earthquakes and what we should do if there is one. Oh jukkñn

After the mini presscon we had time before the contest proper started. We made our headline and our draft.

A few minutes later the contest proper started, we were given one hour to finish writing. Thankfully I finished in time. It was so nerve-wracking. I went out the contest venue and went to my coach.

I became cold because of being nervous. My coach read my draft and said I had one small mistake.

Ink has dried, Realizing there's no more ''excused daw po sa mga journalists"

After 6 years since the last time that I was able to participate in the Regionals Schools Press Conferences, it's still a shock to me that we are one to represent Baguio City for the RSPC at Tadian, Mountain Province for Radio Broadcasting-Filipino. Really thought that considering it's my last DSPC for high school, who would've thought that we made it as a team and won as champions during the DSPC.

Being a journalist is no joke, with the trainings during class days, no matter how brightly you shine on a stadium with a trophy on hand or a medal on your neck, none of it changes the fact that academic expectations remain unchanged, that exams won’t wait for your press conferences, and that, in the end, talent and trophies won’t replace the grades you need to move forward.

For the past few years of participating the DSPC, i've grown to learn that every loss is an opportunity to grow , learn from mistakes, and come back stronger. This is a reminder that success is built on perseverance, and even the best journalists or writers have faced setbacks. Instead of being sad of defeats, use it as a motivation to improve and strive for more in the future.

DICNHS Bags Total Championship in DSPC, Campus Scribes to Advance in RSPC

Marking the future of journalism inside the division, Digos City National High School’s (DiCNHS) The Pioneer earns the overall championship in the English category of Digos Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC),  with campus journalists advancing to the Regional School Press Conference (RSPC).

All individual writers of The Pioneer are set to advance to the RSPC. Two of TV broadcasting’s news anchors and a technical director saved their spot in the regional competition. An anchor from the radio broadcasting team clinches his shot in the contest.

“I and The Pioneer aim past our limits. The recognition that The Pioneer gained this DSPC brought pride and honor to Digos City National High School. Moreover, it inspired the campus journalists to reach for more. The awards the Pioneer attained not only symbolized the hard work and dedication of the publication but also signified the future of journalism inside the campus,” stated Maria Margarette Saban, RSPC qualifier, first place Copy Reading and Headline Writing (CRHW). 

The Pioneer’s individual category writers will advance in the RSPC with CRHW first placer Maria Margarette D. Saban; Editorial Writing first placer Van Anjela Granada; News Writing first placer Jemimah Agnes R. Avila; Feature Writing third placer Christelle A. Degamo; Sports Writing second placer Fatima Yashmin O. Jaitoni; Sci-tech Writing first placer Rj Justine Bugador; Editorial Cartooning fourth placer Zeth Ioan Magdayao; Photojournalism first placer Xaella Dyla R. Adeva; and Column Writing first placer Chester Lance O. Sucna-an.

“The Pioneer's awards bring joy and pride to the school as they showcase the talents and abilities that both the coaches and students possess,” said Van Anjela Granada, first-place winner of Editorial writing.

The Pioneer’s TV broadcasting team’s anchors Elijah Raphael Alvarado and Jans Alyssa Jumawan will forward to the RSPC with their best anchor win. Technical director Karl Nicoli Pelletero will move on to the RSPC backed by his second place wins in both Best in Technical Director and Best in Technical Application. The TV broadcasting also bagged special awards, winning second in Best Developmental Communication by Leigh Marvin Emphasis adding to the group’s second-place wins in both Best Script and Best Graphics.

“It felt unreal. Unreal, in the best way possible. We faced major complications during our simulation, and I was a first-timer, so the sheer idea of winning an award was alien to me. Despite our difficulties, I'm glad that we pushed ourselves, even if to others it had already seemed that we had reached our limit,” declared Jans Alyssa Jumawan, RSPC qualifier, and best anchor in TV broadcasting.

Radio broadcasting’s 1st place Best Anchor Winner, Kurt Achelis Declaro will move up to RSPC. The radio broadcasting team also won first place in both Best Production and Best Script, Technical Director Haven Jozel De Leon won second place in Best Technical Director, meanwhile Mary Sarachelle Agar won third place in Best Infomercial. 

“The Pioneer won as the champion during the 2024 DSPC. This wouldn't be possible without our coaches, who gave us their never-ending support. Such an award brought pride to the school and showcased that the students of Digos City National High School are skilled,” stated Rj Justine Bugador, first-place winner of Sci-tech writing.

The DSPC winners will be forwarded to the RSPC. The RSPC will be hosted by 2 different divisions. Group category’s RSPC will be held in PTV Davao del Norte Station and Bulwagan ng Karunungan, and in DavNor Gymnasium, Davao del Norte and Tourism Complex on March 11-13, 2024 hosted by Davao del Norte Division.  The individual contests will be held in Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School on March 19-22, 2024 hosted by the Davao de Oro division.

My First Time — I got into Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) and went into Koronadal City for the first time. Indeed first time is the best, learning new things may lead you to a new path where you can grow and improve more.

When my team and I initially started using collaborative desktop publishing, we didn't particularly enjoy it. I got to know the new members of our team, Azhar and Lira together with Franz and Cyrille. Being with them and creating memories with them was such a pleasant experience; I loved that with their support, I could see a better future for myself. We gave it everything we had on the day of the competition, working through the allotted time to complete our objective. Unfortunately, we did not win. I also tried auditioning for radio broadcasting, but I was not accepted.

Writing news was not really my passion, even if it was a must to join the field. But then a fresh door appeared for me, The Collaborative Desktop Publishing. Despite not placing first in collab, the Sinagtala Publication, our publication in the Filipino category, took home the title of overall champion in the competition for Filipino publications. As soon as we saw the result, Sir Tonny Dulay, myself, and the other journalist who worked with me to finish the publication were pleased. At that point, Sir Tonny informed us that my co-journalist, who had won the publication competition, and I would be continuing our rivalry on the RSPC in Koronadal City.

RSPC announcing of winners in the school paper takes place, Sinagtala Publication won 9th place on the news page, and I was honored to have my news selected for publication there. They also received numerous other honors. I got to experience climbing up to the stage and receiving the award, which was such an amazing experience. I was pleased with myself since I know that I and my team succeeded.

It's true that the first time is always the best; discovering new things might open up new avenues for your own development.

Unveiling the Joy Within

When I randomly decided to apply for the Special Program in Journalism, it was the best decision I've ever made. After years of training and practicing, I am finally back at the Regional Schools Press Conference. So here I am, unveiling the joy that happened during my two-day experience at the RSPC in Punta Villa Resort, Iloilo City.

On Day Zero, we had to travel a day ahead of the contest since it took four hours to reach the venue. As I woke up exactly at 4 a.m., I was filled with excitement. I prepared all my things and got ready to go. Since there were no vehicles available in the early morning, I walked to our meeting place in the plaza. I stopped by the 7/11 to buy some snacks and then headed to the church to light a candle and pray. Afterward, we were off to Iloilo City.

Our first stop was in San Joaquin, and there wasn't much for me to do since I had nowhere to go. I simply stayed inside the van. Then our last stop was the venue. We waited a few minutes at the receptionist and left our baggage at the front desk since our room wasn't ready. We went to the cafeteria/poolside to have our lunch. Since I didn't bring my own lunch, I ordered chicken. Afterward, we killed some time while waiting for our room. (I don't know why I am writing this with so many details)

The first thing I did was explore the venue. Although it was my second time there, I didn't have enough time to fully explore it during my first visit. I talked to my friends, practiced, and read articles. Around 3 p.m., our room was finally ready, so we rested and I continued to practice. At 5 p.m., we had dinner, took some pictures, and visited different areas of the venue. Everything was so beautiful, and I had a lot of fun exploring the place. Around 7 p.m., we went to the rooftop, and that was the best part. From there, I could see the entire city, and it was breathtaking. The lights were bright, although it was still dark on the rooftop. It was a beautiful sight that met my eyes. After spending some time there, we went back to our room, practiced a little more, and then woke up at 3 a.m.

When my roommate's alarm rang, I immediately woke up and couldn't fall back asleep, so I read some articles. The only downside was that I had no internet connection since the Wi-Fi wasn't working, and I had to connect to a hotspot to access the internet. We had breakfast, and I could see a lot of people who would also be my rival (hehe) in writing. However, all I focused on was doing my best. The opening program went well, and I reminded myself to give my best. 

My contest was scheduled to be the first one, so I had no time to review. When it started, I had to rely on the facts I had memorized and trust my instincts. It was challenging, but I didn't hold back and gave it all. After finishing my article, I felt relieved and happy. We had lunch, and it started raining heavily, not just a drizzle. We had to decide whether to run back to our room or head to the poolside. Eventually, we all ran back to our rooms to grab our umbrellas (and it was so funny that we all just ran and had no idea what to do).

I had to prepare for the awarding/Saludo. Although I had a gut feeling that I wouldn't win, I was still excited. I knew that Ma'am Tin would win the Most Outstanding School Paper Adviser because I  believed she deserved it and we actually both applied this year. As for me, I did my best, but maybe this wasn't meant for me (for now, I guess?). As I expected, Ma'am Tin ranked first in MOSPA, and I placed second in MOCJ. 

I didn't feel any heartbreak feelings because I knew I gave my best, and that's all I could do. After the awarding, I spent the night making fun memories. First, after dinner, I went to the election for the writing guild, where I met new friends from different cities/provinces/places. I was elected as the secretary. We played a lot of games at the poolside and ate some pizza. We went to bed past midnight, knowing that the next day would be a tough one at the awarding ceremony. 

And indeed, it was a difficult day. How could I celebrate others' winning moments when I wasn't happy with my own result? It was the first time I cried after finding out that I didn't win. It was hard for me because I had given my best. I never missed a practice session or skipped any meetings/training/sessions, and I knew deep down that I had done my best. But then Ma'am Tin comforted us, and I realized that nothing was wasted. There are things beyond our control, and someday it will all make sense. 

I didn't have the appetite to eat, so I just went back to our room. While waiting for our door keys, I heard my roommate crying over the phone, which made me cry again. The three of us entered our room, and I locked the door. One friend went to the bathroom to cry, while I went to my bed and cried into my pillow. I could hear the conversation of my other friend. Then I set a 10-minute alarm on my phone because I thought I needed to eat and didn't want to waste the meal ticket. The three of us reflected on what had just happened, and I forced all three of them to eat, even though it was difficult.

Eventually, we decided to eat, and we were ready to go home. I packed all my things, and when my alarm rang at 12 noon, we went outside to eat. Afterward, we didn't head straight home because we decided to go to SM Mall to have some fun. I explored the place, bought some food, and then headed home. We arrived in Antique at 7 p.m. I went home and told my family everything. I was happy because they weren't disappointed, and they were happy with my achievement of getting second place in the award. 

The best thing was that I returned the money that I didn't spend. I only took a small amount for buying them some food. I spent a lot using my own savings because my parents invested a lot in supporting me, but I knew we needed money for my mom's treatment and medications. So, I hesitated to spend their money. All the expenses were mine, including paying for the hotel. That's why I cried because I felt like I wasted my money. (yet, NOTHING WAS WASTED). But anyway, as I said, there are things beyond our control, and this is just the beginning. I'll come back again and work even harder (not that I didn't work hard this time). I just want to say that I'll still give my very best, and I hope everything falls into place the next time I join the contest. Nevertheless, I was so happy that I finally experienced those lovely memories and I had a good time writing this one. Until my next Campus Journalism experience, I'll write it again very soon.
