Editor-in-chief Benedetta Arida imparted her knowledge and expertise in news writing to the student journalists of Ang Obrero, serving as the highlight of the training session through her discussion and guidance on effective news writing, August 14.

Arida focused her discussion on strengthening the journalistsโ€™ foundation in news writing, emphasizing the importance of mastering the basics before developing more advanced skills in journalism.

Highlighting how the session also served as an opportunity to pass on the knowledge and experience she gained throughout her journalism journey, Arida said, โ€œThe purpose of my discussion was to strengthen the foundation of news writing among the journalists of our school. Since news writing is one of the basics of journalism, I believe that every journalist should be able to write a proper news article.โ€

Aridaโ€™s years of experience in journalism made her a fitting mentor for the session, earning first-place finishes in the Alaminos District and Laguna DSPC in 2022, becoming an RSPC qualifier in the same year, placing second in the San Pablo City DSPC in 2024, and qualifying for the RSPC.

Her experience with Ang Obrero also spans several years, beginning as a contributor from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025 before taking on the role of editor-in-chief for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years.

Through the training, Arida passed on the lessons from her journalism journey to the members of the Ang Obrero, aiming to strengthen their foundation in news writing and equip them with skills they can apply to their own stories.

Four years of relentless training and unwavering determination finally paid off for Grade 7 swimmer Lucci Ishani Yenko. Representing St. Joseph School (SJS), the 12-year-old swimmer clocked an impressive 42 seconds to capture the bronze medal in the 50-meter Butterfly event during the Milo National Interschool Short Course Swimming Championship held at Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna, on August 2.

Competing against even older and more experienced swimmers, Yenko admitted that she felt the pressure before the race. Despite her nerves, she remained composed once the buzzer sounded, executing a fast and calculated swim that earned her a podium finish.

"I was the fastest in Class B, and my competitors were 13 and over, even if I was only 12," Yenko shared.

Her remarkable performance was guided by San Pablo Titans coaches Joshua and Jasper Ccasino, whose strategies and technical advice helped her deliver a strong race.

Beyond her bronze medal finish, Yenko achieved another significant milestone by advancing to the highly competitive Class A divisionโ€”a feat considered a major accomplishment in competitive swimming. Although she did not place in the 100-meter Freestyle and 50-meter Freestyle events after moving up to Class A, qualifying for and competing in the higher classification marked an important step in her development as a swimmer.

"I got into Class A," Yenko recalled. "Even if I thought I wouldn't get a medal, my coach told me it was fine because just making it into Class A is incredibly hard."

Cheers filled the venue as Yenko proudly stepped onto the podium to receive her bronze medal. As one of the youngest medalists in the competition, she represented St. Joseph School with confidence, resilience, and sportsmanship.

This latest achievement further strengthens Yenko's growing reputation as one of St. Joseph School's promising young swimmers. Having represented the school since her elementary years and now continuing as an athletic scholar, she remains on track for the upcoming Division Meet this September and future national-level competitions.

St. Joseph School (SJS) showcased composure and depth to secure a 79โ€“68 victory over Canossa College in a mixed junior and senior tune-up basketball game at Canossa College San Pablo City, August 3.

SJS came out firing in the opening quarter, setting the tone early with strong offensive ex*****on and crisp ball movement. Torio and Borromeo sparked the run with back-to-back baskets, followed by a three-pointer from Gonzales. Cerin and Fernandez added consecutive scores, while Manalo and Abdon knocked down triples to stretch the lead. Despite Canossaโ€™s efforts to keep pace through improved passing, SJS closed the first quarter ahead, 27โ€“16.

Canossa responded with intensity in the second quarter, highlighted by Dioknoโ€™s two consecutive blocks and a quick scoring run that trimmed the deficit. However, SJS countered with timely plays, including a momentum-breaking basket from Villamer and a three-pointer from Malabanan. Eseoโ€™s assist to Barabadan and another triple from Fernandez helped SJS maintain control, ending the first half with a commanding 46โ€“28 lead.

The third quarter saw both teams trading baskets, but SJS remained steady behind Averionโ€™s all-around performance. Averion drained a three-pointer, followed by a steal and a fastbreak finish, then added another basket to keep Canossa at bay. Velasco and Aquino contributed inside, while Canossa found answers through Garcia, Dungca, and Suarez. Diokno continued to anchor the defense with key blocks and even connected on an alley-oop play from Suarez. Still, SJS held a comfortable 63โ€“49 advantage entering the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Canossa showed renewed energy with improved ball movement and defensive pressure, but SJS held firm. Fernandez delivered crucial baskets, including a three-pointer that kept the lead intact. Torio added another score, while both teams tightened up defensively. Despite Canossaโ€™s late push, SJS maintained control until the final buzzer, sealing the win at 79โ€“68.

Enrich Fernandez led SJS and was named Best Player of the Game, overcoming early nerves to deliver key points and steady contributions. โ€œIt was okay. We did our best, so we still won,โ€ Fernandez shared. โ€œI was nervous at firstโ€”I thought I wouldnโ€™t be able to make a shot. But I managed to score anyway.โ€

For Canossa, Lucas Villanueva stood out with his leadership and effort. โ€œWe really gave our best, but we were just lacking on defense,โ€ Villanueva said. โ€œMy mindset was to prioritize teamwork and not play selfishly.โ€

Canossa head coach Rensol Banayo emphasized the need for defensive adjustments, noting the challenge of containing SJSโ€™s quick and skilled guards. โ€œWe were challenged by their point guards because they were too fast. Also, we were lacking on defenseโ€”it was tough defending their guards. They have good handles, ball-handling skills, they're fast, and they're well-conditioned too. We'll work harder and focus more on our defense now. We'll make adjustments; we won't just focus too much on offense because we're already fine-tuned on offenseโ€”defense is really our only problem." he said.

Meanwhile, SJS head coach Leeuven Lescano expressed mixed feelings despite the win. โ€œNo, Iโ€™m not satisfied because all of them are scholar-athletesโ€”basically homegrown. Maybe the fast player rotation was a factor in our scoring, but even so, I told them that once they step onto the court, their effort should be all-in right away. They canโ€™t slack off because they donโ€™t knowโ€”it might be the last quarter they get to play. Iโ€™m a bit disappointed, but a win is still a win, so itโ€™s okay,โ€ he said.

The tune-up game served as a valuable test for both squads as they continue to fine-tune their systems ahead of upcoming competitions.

Campaign promises, competing platforms, and student voices took center stage as SSLG candidates gathered at Bulwagang San Jose for the Miting de Avance ahead of the school-wide elections, July 23-24.

Furthermore, Sir Frederick Palahasan emphasized the importance of the Miting de Avance in helping students make informed decisions before the elections. He noted that the event enables Josephians to know the candidates and their platforms better, allowing them to vote wisely. โ€œMagagamit din nila ang kanilang karapatan para maging aware sila sa tamang pinuno sa tamang panahon,โ€ Sir Frederick Palabasan said.

Following the campaign and Miting de Avance, students cast their votes online through Genyo, choosing the leaders who would represent and serve the student body for the school year. The election concluded with candidates from both groups securing positions in the newly elected SSLG.

As the Division School Press Conference (DSPC) gets closer this September, aspiring student journalists from St. Joseph School train from July until August, ready to write and speak confidently as they represent the school, July 17.

Adviser, Ms. Angela Mae Reguera-Lescano, had some help with her co-advisers; Ms. Allen de Mesa, Ms. Maria Hannah Manalo, and Sir CJ de Castro. They will be guiding journalists for each of the category they are assigned to.

From writing articles, photojournalism, editorial cartooning, and newspaper layouts, another category rose after 10 years of its absence, radio broadcasting. Each journalist was given a chance to tryout to be one of the broadcasters by reading and performing an example script provided.

โ€œI was grateful for the opportunity to serve as a co-adviser for journalism. I am learning so much while guiding and supporting our aspiring student journalists.โ€œ stated de Castro, radio broadcast coach. De Castro also reminded students to keep practicing and do not be afraid to make mistakes.

Ma. Faith Liana Madriaga, a grade 10 student-journalist expressed โ€œI was happy after three years since the last time I joined journalism.โ€ Madriaga explained that her goal is to win the RSPC and NSPC and give the school a new milestone, reach first place in radio broadcasting.

This school year, journalists are determined and eager to learn. As the theme of last summerโ€™s enhancement program, โ€œBreak the Breakthrough: Building Voices, Shaping Choices, Forging Championsโ€ SJSโ€™ student-journalists are ready to breakthrough and win as champions with honor and dedication.

St. Joseph School held the introduction of the candidates for the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) to officially begin the SSLG election season at Bulwagang San Jose, July 15.

Mr. Frederick Palabasan, the SSLG adviser, presented the two official partylists running in the upcoming SSLG elections: ROSAS Partylist (Responsible Organization for Student-led Advocacy and Service) and SPARKS Partylist (Students Promoting Action, Responsibility, and Kindness).

โ€œThe introduction of the two partylists was overall successful. The candidates introduced themselves well, clearly stating the positions they are running for and showing confidence in themselves. I have high expectations for the students from both partylists, especially regarding their platforms and plans. Hopefully, they will turn their words into actions and provide what the Josephians need from them as student leaders,โ€ Mr. Palabasan said.

Candidates briefly introduced themselves, each sharing a unique and inspiring tagline that caught the attention of Josephians and teachers as the official campaign period and Miting de Avance on July 23, 2026 draw near, where students and teachers will have the opportunity to ask the candidates questions about their platforms and plans.

Aimed at familiarizing the school community with the SSLG candidates and their respective partylists, the activity gave students and teachers the opportunity to know the aspiring student leaders, their commitment to service, and their readiness to represent the student body.

The halls of St. Joseph School (SJS) echoed with applause and excitement as Josephians gathered for the much-anticipated Annual English Elocution held at the school auditorium. The spotlight belonged to brave young speakers who proved that language, when delivered from the heart, becomes powerful.

On January 24, the competition continued with storytelling categories. Grade 4 transformed the auditorium into a stage of imagination and creativity. Elizer Palabasan won first place, followed by Bailey Pucyutan in second place and Zion Regulto in third place. Their expressive narration reminded the audience of the power of stories to connect hearts and minds.

Grade 5 participants delivered engaging narratives that captivated listeners. Anicka Reyes took first place, Neale Mendoza secured second place, and Filippe Patulot earned third place. Their storytelling highlighted both creativity and confidence.

Closing the dayโ€™s events, Grade 6 participants displayed polish and poise in their storytelling performances. Kyllie Esita emerged as first place winner, followed by Lucci Yenko in second place and Margaux Alava in third place. Their delivery reflected preparation, skill, and composure.

By January 26, the competition intensified. Grade 7 participants electrified the room with spoken word poetry performances marked by raw emotion and powerful expression. Lanze De Leon clinched first place, Kaydence Caรฑete placed second, and Francine Deliso secured third place. Their pieces resonated strongly with the audience.

The Grade 8 mock report category turned the stage into a dynamic newsroom. The Josephian News Networkโ€”composed of Shaireen Soriano, Regina Arcede, and Rhed Ledonaโ€”secured first place. SJS 8 Newsโ€”Zarene Brazos, Briana Dutollo, and Iamreign Villaflorโ€”placed second, while SJS Beacon Newsโ€”Julianna Narvaja, Princess Aquino, and Mikko Untiverosโ€”earned third place.

In the Grade 9 monologue category, participants delivered emotionally charged performances. Andrei Andaya captured first place, followed by Jillian Lacap in second place and Ynigo Maca in third place. Their portrayals reflected depth, sincerity, and strong stage command.
The event concluded with the Grade 10 campaign speech category. Demonstrating persuasive skill and leadership potential, Alexa Rogrador secured first place. Mireia David placed second, and Ira Pablo earned third place. Their speeches emphasized conviction, confidence, and the power of responsible leadership.

โ€œThis contest was designed to enhance the studentsโ€™ public speaking skills. More than anything, I hope they learn to face their fears, stand confidently before a crowd, and give their very best,โ€ said Activity Chairman Ms. Jessiery Reyes. She added that beyond the competition, she hopes students carry the courage and confidence they discovered into future opportunities. According to her, the most rewarding part of the event was witnessing students step out of their comfort zones and perform with growing self-assurance.

This yearโ€™s Annual English Elocution was more than just a competitionโ€”it was a celebration of voice, confidence, and determination. From poetry to storytelling, reports to persuasive speeches, the stage became a canvas where Josephians expressed their ideas and talents. Long after the curtains closed, the words spoken continue to echo as a testament to the schoolโ€™s commitment to nurturing articulate and confident communicators.
