SC President is also P.R.O.

Student Council President Ryan Esquibil was voted and installed P.R.O. for Luzon of P.E.G. during Paulink.

Esquibil once again battled to seek for a number of supports to gain an office in the newly established Paulinian Editor’s Guild (P.E.G.) of the Philippines during the 5th Campus Journalism Fellowship held at St. Paul College Pasig last April 11-13.

He represented St. Paul School of Aparri in a group of Paulinian Editors who assembled and elected the first set of P.E.G. officers.

After a guileless and unpretentious campaign, he won a sit in the said guild. He now acts as the first ever P.R.O. of the guild for all the Paulinian schools located in Luzon Island.

Together with the other officers, he swore with an oath in front of Paulink delegates at some time during the closing and awarding ceremonies in the Mere Marie Anne de Tilly Convention Hall. #

Paulinians thrive in annual Paulink

FOUR journalists of SPSA received awards during the 5th Campus Journalism Fellowship for Paulinian Writers and Advisers held in St. Paul College-Pasig, April 11-13.

Paularri staffers Keith Altares, Donato Legaspi Jr., Renz Tamayo and A.C. Tuvilla were among the more than 50 high school students who were given recognitions in the said event.

Altares and Tamayo were awarded Most Outstanding Editorial Cartoonist and Most Outstanding Editorial Writer, respectively. Legaspi received the award Most Promising Feature Writer. The high school quiz bee champion A.C. Tuvilla along with 2 other students from different schools also received an award.

Almost doubling the number of participants, Paulink which stands for Paulinian Ink has gone better than last year. Adding to its highlight features were plenums that gave the writers a chance to discover more about different types of writing and new school paper elements.

The organizing committee this year established an association for both advisers and editors. Paularri adviser Mrs. Yolanda Annang was elected Vice-President of the Paulinian School Paper Adviser’s Guild of the Philippines and Student Council President Ryan Esquibil was installed Public Relations Officer for Luzon of the Paulinian Editor’s Guild of the Philippines.

The awarding of contest winners, induction of officers and closing ceremonies took place in the Mere Marie Anne de Tilly Convention Hall in the afternoon of April 13.

Other participants from SPSA were Dayanne Abad, Kathryn Acebedo, Charlene Mendoza, Djarmaine Ragonjan and Grace Timario. #
