If it is to be, it is up to me. Nah, I should say, it is all up to US!
For that was what Tanza National Comprehensive High School’s pool of student-journalists’ mantra in the recently held 2008 Division Schools Press Conference (Secondary Level), Oct. 9-11.
We knew that if we wanted to keep the winning tradition of TNCHS in the field of campus journalism, it all depended on each of US (their trainer-coach included).
As I already shared in my previous blog, TNCHS delegation was composed of 21 hopeful young writers (14 contestants for individual categories in news writing, editorial writing, feature writing, sports writing, copy reading & headline writing, editorial cartooning, photojournalism and seven others that comprised the broadcasting team).
And all these talented student-journalists did work, practice, and review hard to be intellectually, emotionally and psychologically prepared for the competitions.
Winning tastes so sweet. Keeping and maintaining the crown could be painfully demanding and overwhelming though. What more if you have been clinging unto the championship throne for 13 sweetest, inspiring long years!
AND THE POINT IS….WE DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! YEAHHHHHHHHH! (alright, am shouting out too loud, am jumping while am typing…the heck, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! AND I NOW HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO SCREAM from the top of my lungs, RIGHT?!) 
Four The Clarion student-journalists bagged gold medal for the individual writing competitions namely: Danjie May Ronquillo, editorial writing (English); Benjie Tubelleza, photojournalism (English); Princess Lea Bubuli, photojournalism (Filipino); Melvin Amparo, sportswriting (English).
TNCHS broadcasting team captured gold, too. Members Jomielyn Pulido, Giann Paola Centeno, 
Francis Louie Gonzales, Rachel Anne Castro, Chrislie Alzaga, Eloisa Marie Culler and Mannel Hernandez excellently presented a simulated five-minute radio program besting more than 20 groups from the entire province. Pulido and Centeno were awarded Best News Presenters; while Gonzales was recognized as one of the two Best Anchors making them three qualified for the Regional Schools Press Conference. They will be included for the Cavite’s Broadcasting Team who will compete in the 2008 RSPC, tentatively scheduled on Dec 1-5 in Batangas City.
Other winners included John Joel Cabuhat and Lady Janine Parpan, copyreading and headline writing (English and Filipino respectively); Aira Marie Quijano, editorial writing (Filipino). All these three won third place in their respective contests.
Contributing to TNCHS victory were Joel delos Angeles, editorial cartooning (Filipino), 9th place; Christalene Jewel Mercado, news writing (Filipino), 12th place; Rommel Ponesto, news writing (English), 13th Place.
