Student journalists from Rizal Technological University (RTU) Laboratory School paid a courtesy visit to the University President following their achievements at the 2026–2027 Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC), recognizing their hard work and dedication to campus journalism.

The DSPC brings together student journalists from different schools to compete in various journalism categories, including news writing, feature writing, editorial writing, science and technology writing, photojournalism, and editorial cartooning. Through the competition, students get the chance to put their skills to the test, share their ideas, and learn from the experiences of fellow young journalists.

Assisted by Instr. Mary Grace Pelaez, Assistant Principal, the delegation included 35 selected contestants from the Laboratory School Journalism Club who represented their school in the competition. Guided by the theme “Alab: Sigla. Sidhi. Sigasig,” the young Rizalianos showcased their writing, creativity, and journalistic skills across different categories.

Among the student achievers, Alessandra Ansley L. Panganiban secured 1st Place in Pagsulat ng Agham at Teknolohiya, qualifying for the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC). Mary Antoinette Gabrielle F. Alvarez also claimed 1st Place in Feature Writing. Meanwhile, Maggie Ayana Obungen earned 3rd Place in Photojournalism, followed by Zoie Louise Pusung, who placed 4th in Editorial Cartooning, and Franchesca Monique B. Adrao, who secured 5th Place in Editorial Writing.

Rounding out the awardees with 8th-place finishes were Amanda Jersey H. Roman (Science and Technology Writing), Kelcey Rael Diaz (Sports Writing), and Myrgyl Andrei Bajo (Pagkuha ng Litratong Pampahayagan).

The courtesy visit highlighted the students’ accomplishments and gave recognition to their efforts in representing the Laboratory School. Their achievements reflect the dedication of the student journalists and the support of the school community in helping them develop their skills and confidence.

RTU congratulates its young Rizaliano journalists on their achievements and encourages them to continue honing their craft, telling meaningful stories, and practicing responsible journalism. May they carry the same enthusiasm and determination into future competitions and continue making the Laboratory School and the entire Rizaliano community proud.
