Three student journalists from the official PSHS-CVisC English publication The Heights will advance to the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) after reaching the top three in their categories at the division level.

Student journalists from The Heights and Ang Tugatog—the official Filipino school paper of CVisC—competed against over 50 districts in this year’s Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2025 of the Cebu Province held in the Municipality of Liloan last February 3-7, 2025.

Out of over 400 aspiring journalists, the top 10 in the individual categories will be recognized and only the top three will represent the division in the RSPC at Siquijor on February 24-28, 2025.

For PSHS-CVisC, Rylle Mischka Postrado won second place in the Sports Writing English Secondary category, Thresia Maerin Chatto earned second place in the Science and Technology Writing English Secondary category, and Joannah Del Villarin garnered third place in the Column Writing English Secondary category.

Other scholars placed in the top 10: Kaye Shaira Jaum won 9th place in the Photojournalism English Secondary category and Dominic Embate took home 8th place in Layouting.

The upcoming official publication of The Heights also placed fourth in the School Paper Publication English category.

The DSPC is an annual event organized by the Department of Education under the Campus Journalism Act of 1991 (RA 7079). It recognizes skilled student journalists from the elementary and secondary levels nationwide while demonstrating journalism's importance. This year’s DSPC theme is “Shaping the future through responsible journalism”.

On Monday, February 10, 2025, PSHS-CVisC participated with the PSHS campuses in SINAG, the hybrid systemwide flag ceremony commemorating the PSHS System’s 27th founding anniversary.

The program started at 8 in the morning with the Philippine National Anthem, followed by the invocation, and the hymns: the Panatang Makabayan, Panunumpa sa Watawat ng Pilipinas, Scholar’s Pledge, Panata ng Lingkod Bayan, and the Bagong Pilipinas Pledge.

Dr. Ronalee Orteza, the PSHS System (PSHSS) Executive Director, welcomed the audience to the ceremony with her speech, detailing how even with massive differences, everyone in PSHSS comes together. “Every instrument has a different sound, but when played together, it creates a masterpiece,” she said.

She also introduced the project “27 Years, 27 Trees,” which encouraged each campus to plant 27 trees to celebrate its 27 years. She compared the planting of trees to planting aspirations “for a better future,” where she detailed three initiatives that could help the aspirations: student competitiveness, excellence, and innovation and collaboration.

The Bagong Pilipinas Hymn, the DOST Hymn, and the PSHS Hymn were then sung and played.

The ceremony then ended with the dancing of Buhay Pisay, a song and dance that emphasizes the life of students, faculty, and staff in PSHS.

Soon after the program and the ceremony, Dr. Rachel Luz Rica, director of PSHS-CVisC, along with the members of the Management Committee, subject unit heads, AFS officers, and house GAMs and AGAMs hosted the tree planting program in the Farm Area.

Diary,
MONDAY— I’m feeling brave. I think I’m finally going to do it! I’m going to do what I’ve always wanted to do: confess my love to him. I can do it. I know I can. I have an entire week to prepare. I have to look and be my best.

Dear Diary,
TUESDAY— I saw him in the hallway today. Every second I see him, I fall harder and harder. His dark eyes, his quirky smile, the way his hands move towards his hair, and the way he runs his fingers smoothly through it, everything about him is so mesmerizing. He’s such an amazing and talented person, better than I ever could be. He is the smartest man I have ever met and his kindness exceeds no other. I love him so so much.

Dearest Diary,
WEDNESDAY— I went to the mall today with my friends and bought every single makeup product I could find. I don’t know how to do makeup, but for him, I would. For him, I would spend hours learning all the beauty tips and the right way to present myself. Right now, I’m practicing how to apply mascara and eyeliner because I want to look him right in the eye. And when he looks into mine, I want him to see how deep my love for him is and how far I would go for him. My friends say they’re sure he likes me. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. But the thought still makes me blush

My Dearest Diary,
THURSDAY— I spent hours going through my closet, looking for the right clothes to wear. I spent my entire allowance perfecting all my imperfections. I have to look good in front of him. I made sure my clothes matched perfectly with my makeup and curled my hair. All of this, I’m doing for him. My friends are cheering me on. They say I can do this. I can do this.

Dear Diary,
FRIDAY— It was all a blur, like everything happened so quickly. I couldn’t see properly. My vision was clouded with tears.He rejected me. He didn’t love me. He said he loved someone else, someone smarter, prettier, better, more exciting than me. She was better than I ever will be and he knows it all too well. What chance did I have against a goddess like her? He wouldn’t even look me in the eye. He left me there, dumbfounded, confused, hurt. Why did I do this?

Diary,
The worst he could have said was no.

The DSPC is an annual event held by the Department of Education. It is a competition for school paper editorial staff of schools within a district. Schools compete in individual writing and group reporting categories to determine the district representatives for the division conference.

The competition began with a welcome message from, the Principal IV of Argao NHS, Mrs. Elma Larumbe, and inspirational messages from the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent in English, Dr. Chona Redoble, and the Public Schools Division Superintendent for Argao I, Dr. Mary Lady Uytico.

At 10 a.m., the primary and secondary competitions for Column Writing, Copyreading and Headline Writing, Photojournalism, and News Writing, and the sports viewing for Sports Writing began.

The rest of the individual competitions in Feature Writing, Editorial Writing, Editorial Cartooning, Science and Technology Writing, and Sports writing followed. All individual English and Filipino competitions ended by noon.

During the closing program and awarding ceremony, the delegations across the Argao I district viewed the presentations of Argao NHS in Mobile Journalism, Radio Broadcasting, and TV Broadcasting in both English and Filipino respectively. They are set to represent the district in the group categories at the Division Schools Press Conference.

Students from Argao NHS, Usmad NHS, Talaga NHS, Cansuje NHS, Christian Learning School of Argao, and Academia de San Miguel Arcanghel participated in the event alongside PSHS-CVisC in the secondary categories.

This year’s District Schools Press Conference marked the return of The Heights in press conferences ever since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sinulog is an annual festival held usually at the 3rd Sunday of January, topping off the Christmas season for the Cebuanos. The festival commemorates the Señor Santo Niño (also known as the Child Jesus) and the arrival of Christianization on the shores of Cebu.

The very first image of the Santo Niño was given as a gift by Ferdinand Magellan to Rajah Humabon and Queen Juana when the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines in 1521.

Over time, the image became a symbol of devotion to early Filipinos. In fact, the term "Sinulog" came from the root word "sulog", meaning water currents. As such, the iconic forward-backward movements of the dance imitated the waves and rivers. Many historical accounts recall that Queen Juana danced with the Sto. Niño in her arms, using it to bless the sick and the possessed.

Since the 16th century, Filipinos have honored the Sto. Niño as an embrace of Christianity, especially in the Visayas. Eventually, it grew to a grand festival that extends throughout the entire province of Cebu.

The Sinulog festival is among the biggest festivals in the Philippines, rich in novena masses, fluvial parades, float processions, vocal and dance performances, and street parties. Pilgrims and tourists alike flock to Cebu at this time of the year to partake in the festivities.

Sinulog has become an integral part of Cebuano culture, highlighting the vibrant history of the province and the faith of every Cebuano. Viva Pit Señor!
