Campus journalists from The Collegiate Headlight won awards in the 10th National Media Conference organized by the School Press Advisers Movement (SPAM) Inc. and National Federation of Campus Journalists (NFCJ) with the theme “Exhibiting Gender Sensitivity through Ethical and Responsible Campus Journalism” on October 26-28 at Regent Hotel, Naga City.

The primary goal of the confab was to recognize the excellent services of campus journalists and their advisers, hone their skills, and to provide them with the recent trends in campus journalism.

Student journalists Alren John D. Dabon and Antonio Valentino B. Garcia II placed fifth in Lead Writing and News Editing, respectively.

“It was my first national press conference,” said Dabon, a Bachelor of Early Education student. “It was exciting to meet people around the Philippines and compete against them.”

The event also organized talks relating to this year’s theme which includes News Editing, Lead Writing, Sexual Orientation Gender Identification Expression (SOGIE), Opinion Writing, and Digital Photography, among others.

“I learned a lot from the speakers,” shares Garcia, a language major student of the university. “We have to be sensitive about people’s gender identification and report responsibly as campus journalists.”

Along with the media conference, the confab also hosted the 7th National Quiz Bee: Pambansang Pautakang Pampahayagan, 4th I-Dokumento, and 4th Inter-Cultural Exchange in which students of all year levels competed in.

Headlight’s Probe ranked 9th for the Campus Magazine of the Year. It also garnered the 4th Best Cover Design, 7th Best Photos, 8th Best Poem, and 9th for both Best Art/Illustration and Best Culture Page awards.

Over 500 participants from different universities and schools across the country attended the said event.

As part of the Sagop Kinabuhi Program 2 (SKP2) activities and in partnership with the Archdiocesan Social Action Center (ASAC), the University of Southeastern Philippines organized and facilitated an activity dubbed as “Fun Day” held in Eden Nature Park and Resort, Toril, Davao City last January 27-28, 2017. The event was participated in by SKP2 partner agency representatives and 50 voluntary submission for reformation persons (VSRPs). The participants were housed for two days in Eden to build better camaraderie and ensure that VSRPs and partners working together in this program would be able to work harmoniously in the upcoming other activities.

 

SKP2 is considered as USeP’s share in the national government’s efforts towards addressing the socio-economic needs of the people who, after the Operation Tok-hang, have committed to change their lives for their families. The program partnered with 16 government and civil society organizations in Davao City and catered VSRPs  from the 11 barangays in Talomo District.

 

The program’s next steps would involve other activities that will take the VSRPs in various skills training of their choice. They can either opt to undertake trainings under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) or pursue high school education under the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education (DepEd).

 

During the Fun Day, one VSRP gave impression as follows: “Salamat USeP ug mga partners sa inyong kaayo. Sa pagdawat sa amo ug usab bisan pa sa mga sayup nga among nabuhat kaniadto. Lipay kaayo mi bisan pa nga gimingaw mi sa among pamilya. Nag-enjoy mi maayo sa mga dula ug sa tanan natung gipangbuhat dinhi sa duha ka adlaw. Hinaut pa unta nga naa pay mahitabo susama niini sa umaabut na panahon.”

The University of Southeastern Philippines Student teams (USeP Team A, USeP Team B and USeP Tagum Campus) bagged two gold, two silver and a bronze topping the medal tally in the annual seven-event Mindanao Conference for Information Technology Students (MCITS) IT Olympiad held at the University of the Immaculate Conception – Fr. Selga Campus, Davao City on February 16-17, 2017.

            Annie Marrise Insong and Khalil Stefano Remollo of USeP Team A bested more than 20 other teams from top IT schools in Mindanao in the IT Quiz Bowl championship back to back with John Valle and Kent Charles Cutamora steering USeP Team B to another gold medal finish in the Infographics contest.

            Bernali Jesreel Lentejas, Ray Neal Badalo and Mina Bernal made good account of themselves after a 2nd place finish in the Game App Conceptualization event while Emmanuel Dagohoy and Eleana Marie Buaya of the USeP Tagum Campus added to the already impressive medal haul of the University by capturing silver in the Infographics competition.

                Rounding up USeP’s medal tally is the third-place finish of USeP Team B composed of Van Rijn Amarillo and Mary Elisse Gonzales in the IT Quiz Bowl.

            Apart from these outstanding finishes, other USeP representatives also put up a commendable effort in their respective events.  Frankie Labro and Majun Alejo, the defending champions of Infographics competition, settled for fifth place this year while Yong Burlaza and Diane Pantastico, also ranked fifth in the Infomercial contest. Mostly composed of newcomers, USeP’s programming team composed of Rojec John Pecarana, Leo Malaya and Ivan Kent Mozo finished 9th among 23 competitors.

            Asked about their students’ accomplishments, coaches Leah Pelias, Monique Dingding and Engr. Jamal Rogers were quick to give praise by attributing their wards’ success to their individual ability and hard work.

            “Our role is simply to guide them to the right track and facilitate learning. It is easier to play that role if you have students who are naturally gifted in skills and attitude and luckily, we have a healthy supply of those”, said Engr. Rogers.
