The final chapter of the SPJ Festival of talents and camp unfolded as a celebration of unity, creativity, and unforgettable memories. Following the previous activities, the night was marked by the heartfelt circle of lights, where SPJians gathered as one in the function hall—symbolizing connection, reflection, through tears, and laugh, and forming a stronger bond throughout the camp.

On the morning of February 27, 2026, the energy returned as each grade level led their own Zumba sessions, filling the day with movement and laughter. The zumba was followed by a collage making activity centered on journalism, where students expressed their insights, values, and passion for the field. 👯💃

The celebration concluded with rampahayagan, where each team showcased their creativity and resourcefulness by transforming newspapers into stunning gowns, proving that journalism can be both informative and artistic. 👏📰

The unexpected finale became a beautiful ending to a remarkable jorney. One that highlited not only talent, but also unity, passion, and the true spirit of SPJians. 🙌✨

𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗜𝗡 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗚𝗡 2026!

On March 9, 2026, selected SPJ students stepped beyond the school grounds to campaign for the Special Program in Journalism (SPJ), reaching out to more than 10 elementary schools to promote the program.

With confidence and passion, they introduced young learners to the world of journalism, inviting them to become future truth seekers, writers, and storytellers. Through their efforts, they not only promoted the program but also inspired the next generation to use their voices with purpose, and stand with truth and balance journalism.

Planting seeds of curiosity and courage, this initiative opened doors for future SPJians to discover the power of storytelling and the impact of responsible journalism.
