SHS Broadcasting gains recognition

Senior High School Grade 11 Filipino Radio Broadcasting and Script Writing Team were ecstatic last September 2 during the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2016 Batch 1 in Alitagtag, Batangas when they placed 6th out of 53 delegates.

The two-day conference started on September 1 at Alitagtag National High School and it was a new experience for STI College Balayan SHS student journalists. Fifty three schools from Batangas province - public and private joined the said conference. Before the first day ends, the top 7 teams who will vie for the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) were announced. STI Balayan SHS team was thrilled to be included and prepared for the next round of the competition that was held the next day.

“It is quite an immediate process for us because it would be the first time for STI College Balayan Senior High to join this kind of competition”, Broadcasting Coach Ms. Chin-chin Bagunas stated.

Ms. Bagunas also added that given the limited time to prepare, with the help of other coaches and their adviser Ms. Terranya M. Tiamson they started finding the right people who will be included in the team.

Interested students were screened through a series of auditions and eliminations until there were only 14 aspiring young journalists. They were then grouped to form the Filipino and English Radio Broadcasting Teams with seven members each.

The team of student journalists garnered several awards in the conference such as: team awards: Best in Infomercial - 1st Place and Best Script Award and Best Broadcasting Team- 6th Place; for individual recognitions: Best News Presenter 2nd Place Jowie Corrado, Best Anchor 5th Place Jeks Xylem Fameronag and Best Technical Direction 5th Place Erica Sacdalan.

The team was grateful for all the motivation and support given by the faculty members and staff especially to the School President, Mrs. Ellen Christy A. Dimaano, Principal Engr. Oliver B. Noriega and Assistant Principal Mrs. Casiana Enconado.
