When we first gathered as a group of dreamers, unsure of where our passion for stories, voices, and truth would take us, we never imagined how far weโd go. From being mere students with a love for writing and broadcasting, to becoming pioneers who built something lasting โ the ICP Campus Journalism Organization was born out of courage, determination, and the shared belief that every story deserves to be told.
We gave our best in every task, took on responsibilities beyond our roles, and turned simple projects into unforgettable moments. From long hours of duty under the sun, sleepless nights chasing deadlines, to campus coverages, press conferences, and every problems we faced together โ we didnโt just cover stories; we became the story. Along the way, we built memories that will stay with us even after we leave, and formed a bond through our shared love for truth and service.
To our ever-supportive advisers, Ms. Mica Ivy Salome and Ms. Angie Verian, your wisdom and faith shaped us not just into campus journalists but into student leaders who will carry these lessons for life. Your belief in our abilities gave us the courage to push through challenges and claim victories we never thought possible.
To our Organization Coordinator, Ms. Julie Ann Victoriano, thank you for managing all of the organization with care and heart. From managing our plans to guiding us through every approval and decision, your support shaped the path we proudly walked on.
To our dear Academic Coordinator, Mr. Reymark Dacillo, thank you for standing behind our vision, for being a constant source of encouragement, and for granting us the space to create, lead, and thrive.
And to our School Administrator, Ms. Michelle Condecido, thank you for your constant support for student journalism. Your trust gave us the strength to represent our school with pride and integrity.
Now, as the pioneering officers graduate and move forward into the next chapters of our lives, we leave behind more than an organization โ we leave a legacy. A trail for future writers, broadcasters, and student leaders to follow, one built on hard work, passion, and commitment.
To the next generation of campus journalists: this is your stage now. Make it bigger, bolder, braver.
And to everyone who believed in us, supported us, and became part of our journey โ this is our way of saying thank you.
From the Pioneers of the ICP Campus Journalism Organization, signing off not as mere officers, but as storytellers forever.
Once a journalist, always a journalist.
