Happening tonight: Mr. & Miss Press Freedom 2025 ✨

As part of the Cebu's Press Freedom Week celebration, The Freeman, SunStar Cebu, MyTV Cebu and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas Cebu Chapter proudly take part in this event.

More than a pageant, it reminds us of the important role of media in protecting truth and press freedom.

After learning from the world of print and digital news, our Sidlak Publication members also had the chance to dive into the exciting world of radio!

We were delighted to have DJ Boyki of iFM 93.9 as our guest speaker, who shared his broadcasting journey and the passion that drives his work on-air. His stories encouraged our student-journalists to see communication in new ways—reminding us that great storytelling goes beyond the page and reaches the airwaves too. 📻✨

Big thanks to DJ Boyki Ifm for sharing his time and energy with us, and to the Allies of Development Communicators – Department of Development Communication for making this possible. 🙌

📌 Trivia Time!

Did you know that the Philippines is home to over 110 Indigenous groups? 🌿 That’s around 14–17 million kababayans who keep their own languages, traditions, and stories alive up to this day. 🇵🇭✨

Celebrating Buwan ng Wika means more than just loving Filipino — it’s also about honoring our Indigenous brothers and sisters who remind us how rich and colorful our culture truly is. 💛❤️💙
