A student of Baybay Elementary School in Binmaley town was recently adjudged ‘Outstanding Campus Journalist of the Philippines-Elementary Level in the recently concluded National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) 2024 held on July 8-12 in Carcar City, Cebu.

Baybay student Jose III Reloza said he felt overwhelmed as he didn’t expect he would even qualify in the NSPC.

While he didn’t win in the Copyreading in the Regional Schools Press Conference, he won the Campus Journalist of the Philippines plum, a separate competition.

His coach, Johnny Corrales, said Reloza was adjudged the winner based on his achievements that transcends his responsibility as a campus journalist to the wider community, his activities related to campus journalism, academics, having graduated from elementary with the highest honors, champion quizzer in Science and Math, two-time winner of Battle of the Brains, and an essay writer, two-time winner in Copyreading, among other feats.

Reloza, the sole representative of Region 1 to the NSPC, was interviewed by the panelists and validated the documents he presented.

He said he wants to become a journalist someday. (Eva Visperas)
