2008 Cavite Division Schools Press Conference - a yearly convention of prolific young journalists in the division of Cavite who will vie for a Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) slot and hopefully qualify for the national competition (NSPC).
Tanza National Comprehensive High School, for more than 12 years, has reigned supreme in the overall standing of all private and public high schools in the entire province. In fact it now holds the 13 Overall Champion for the Best Performing School trophies out of the 14 years DSPC has been held - a feat too difficult to duplicate. Accordingly, this achievement was made possible by the patience, dedication, intellect and selfless tutoring and service by The Clarion’s/ Ang Klaryon’s adviser par excellance, MS. AMOR S. KAGAHASTIAN, we fondly call her MA’AM K.
This year though, it will be the first time the delegation will technically miss Ma’am K. She is now on leave and she is not technically in the list of TNCHS list of delegates. However, we are still very privileged to have her during weekend reviews and practices.
Being the co-adviser, I had to screen and conduct qualifying activities among talented student-journalists of our school. Out of the more than two hundred journalism students we have, only 21 had to be chosen - one for each contest-category and seven for the broadcasting team.
Am very proud to share with you the names of the hopeful young writers who are trying hard and are committed to continue Ma’am K’s winning tradition. In the list, too, are the contest and category each of them will be joining.
