UC tops 5th tertiary press conference
THE University of Cordilleras (UC) returned as the grand winner in the 5th Cordillera Regional Tertiary Press Conference recently held at the Luzon Nazarene Bible College (LNBC).
UC campus journalists topped the copy reading and headline writing, photojournalism and literary graphic events in English and the comic strip and editorial cartooning in Filipino to amass 72 points in the group and 70 in individual to regain the over-all championship.
University of Baguio (UB) is 2nd followed by Beti College of Technology and Baguio Central University. The only non-Baguio school to land in top 5 was Benguet State University. Other schools that joined are LNBC, Assist Bangued and Lagangilang, Saint Louis University, Monticello International College and Abra Valley College.
The conference was supposed to be held in Banaue, Ifugao but the strong typhoon forced the organizers to hold it in LNBC, which is a first-time member of the conference.
UC is particularly strong in the visual category as they either placed first and second in the comic strip, editorial cartooning, literary graphic and photojournalism.
UB writers were strong in the Filipino category but were blanked in the English category. BETI had the strongest showing in the writing category in English.
The top individual winners were: news writing (Cesar Alangdeo (Beti) for English and Bryan Chao-ayan (SLU) for English); feature writing (Menchie Tiongan (BCU) for English and Lara Joy Bangasan (BCU) for Filipino); editorial writing (Ryan Raranga (AVC) for English and Bangasan for Filipino); opinion writing (Antonette Calixto (BSU) and Sheilan Dacyon (UB); sportswriting (Alangdeo and Jacob George Co (UB) and copyreading and headline writing (Jose Maria Gabriel (UC) and Lileth Martinez (UB).
In photojournalism, Carlo De Francia of UC won in the English category and Romeulop Bagasing Jr. of BSU in Filipino. Other winners (for English category) were: Daniel Valencia of LNBC and Florante Jamandra of UC for comic strip; Floyd Wadsilang (Beti) and Jamandra for editorial cartooning; Cristopher Acurin (UC) and James Chan (BCU) for literary graphic; and Jordan Faoayan (Beti) and Ana Katrina Casiano (UB) for poetry.
The top five winners in each category will compete in the Luzon-wide press conference in Subic.
