πŸŒŠπŸ–ŠοΈ MAKING RIPPLES AGAIN

Two days of learning. Two days of writing. Two days of finding stories, sharpening skills, and discovering the power of the pen.

The recently concluded 2-Day Campus Journalism Seminar-Workshop gave our young journalists another opportunity to learn, grow, and make their voices heard.

And once again, The Ripplets made waves. 🌊

We proudly congratulate our student journalists for their outstanding achievements:

These achievements are more than rankings. They are proof of our students' hard work, courage, perseverance, and commitment to the craft of journalism.

And to everyone who participated, good job for being so open to learning! πŸ™‚ We are incredibly proud of each one of you, especially knowing that most of our participants were first-timers. You stepped out of your comfort zones, embraced the challenge, and gave yourselves the chance to learn something new.

Whether you brought home an award or simply walked away with a new skill, a new experience, and a stronger voice, you are already making ripples. 🌊

Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible for our students despite the challenges.

🏫 To our School Head, Natividad Alburo Villegas , thank you for checking on us, supporting our endeavors, and continuously motivating us despite the challenges. Your trust and encouragement mean so much to our young journalists and to everyone working behind them.

UNHS, CTU-Argao Renew Partnership for BAEL Press Forward Extension Program

USMAD, Argao β€” Usmad National High School (UNHS) and Cebu Technological University (CTU)-Argao Campus renewed their partnership for the BAEL Press Forward Extension Program through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on June 24, 2026, at the school's Administration Office.

Signed by Dr. Cristino O. Carreon, Principal II of UNHS, and CTU-Argao representatives Dr. Marcelina S. Depareine and Dr. April G. Sales, the agreement continues a program first implemented in School Year 2024–2025 to strengthen campus journalism through training and mentorship.

Qualified student journalists who pass the assessment will become program beneficiaries and receive specialized learning opportunities to further develop their journalistic skills.

In accordance with the Department of Education (DepEd) mandated schedule, the training workshop will be conducted during the End-of-Term Block.

The renewed partnership underscores the shared commitment of UNHS and CTU-Argao to nurture competent, responsible, and empowered student journalists.
