Stiff competition has commenced at Ormoc's earth during the just-concluded 2013 National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) last April 7-12 where best of the best campus journos in the entire country get together to outwit one another, and it was nothing but priceless just to be part of such national event.
Placing as champion in Copyreading and Headline Writing Filipino (my event) during the regional tilt (RSPC) of Region XI at Panabo City last January 24-26 brought me at the haven of the Leytean city. It is such a great honor to imagine that you are bringing the legacy of not only your school, or your municipality, or even your province, but most especially your region, and to be given the opportune time to participate in such event is the least of the prize!
But even before we reach the land of the Eastern Visayas region, the unprecedented travel was already a great addition to the memoir of my entire campus journalism journey. My first flight almost didn't happen because of our late arrival at the Davao International Airport, late afternoon of April 6. We even became chance passengers bound for Ormoc City after we arrived at the Queen City of the South - Cebu.That occurrence, though completely tiring was already precious.
Even though I didn't place in the national tilt, I still get to travel, to compete, and most of all to make friends, and that's much, much better than winning. :D
Remember, there's still one more year for me to show off - and make the most out of it!
