00:00Every year, student journalists gather at the National Schools Press Conference
00:10which was held in Cebu this year.
00:13Who are the dreamers who came back to the show like me?
00:21In the form of
00:25and speech.
00:26You'd think that they are professional broadcasters and journalists.
00:36But the anchors and reporters, the writers and cameramen,
00:44they are all students.
00:47They are the ones who made the live TV and radio program.
01:00This is part of the annual gathering of the most talented campus journalists
01:05from different regions of the country.
01:08This is the NSPC or National Schools Press Conference
01:13which was held this year in Karkar City, Cebu.
01:18We want a fair competition.
01:21The students went through a lot before qualifying for the national competition.
01:28They will fight in different categories.
01:32Some of them will write news,
01:35take photos for publication,
01:38and even make editorial cartoons.
01:41But one of the most anticipated is the Live TV and Radio Broadcasting Competition.
01:50Journalism is really part of my heart and so I really want to do my best.
01:54We carry the whole Region XI in our backs.
01:56The students from Karagar Region.
01:59Game face on.
02:01They are the defending champions in the Live TV Broadcasting Filipino category.
02:07We also want them to live up to our expectations to become champions again
02:12and to defend the crown.
02:13The female news anchor of the group, Verity, is also pressured.
02:18Especially with her brother who won the championship last year.
02:22I really didn't expect to join journalism.
02:26They are the ones who pushed me to try because I am shy.
02:30The students from Calabarzon.
02:32They are confident that they have a fight in the competition.
02:37When they wrote their script, they followed it.
02:42Half an hour before their deadline,
02:45the group from Davao Region seems to be in a mess.
02:49We are preparing because the time is almost up.
02:53We are not yet done with everything.
02:55Our laptops are already low-batting.
02:59If they don't reach the deadline, their overall score will be reduced.
03:05They are hoping to be in the finals again.
03:08We have high hopes, sir, that this team can do it.
03:12Meanwhile, in the other house.
03:14All of us are in a hurry.
03:16The voices of the student radio anchors are getting louder.
03:20Voices of hope.
03:22This is where the live radio broadcasting competition is being held.
03:28UGONG-UGONG is strong.
03:30They are the frontrunner in this competition.
03:36The group from Calabarzon is the 9-time defending champion in the NSPC.
03:42The team is together to create dynamics within each other.
03:46And for the showbiz valley.
03:49But they are not complaining.
03:52Their group from Ilocos Region is also a strong opponent.
03:59In fact, this video of their training went viral online.
04:09Until the two groups broke up.
04:22I am your servant.
04:24Kelvin Hidalgo.
04:26The team is doing well.
04:28They are ahead of their opponents.
04:31Since this is a competition, of course, there will be nerve-wracking events.
04:34Your brain of Chica Dora is here.
04:37Brain of Dora.
04:39But the students from Pin Region or Northern Mindanao Region have a different attack.
04:451, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Technical check.
04:48Just the intro.
04:501, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
04:53Excitement if they win.
04:56The question is.
04:57Radio NSPC.
04:59Vlogging NSPC.
05:01Who will win?
05:05Let's go back to the TV broadcasting competition.
05:08Where after they shoot and edit.
05:13They are now in line at the Mock Studio for their live broadcast.
05:19What they did was amazing.
05:22You can watch it on an LED screen inside the campus.
05:27Until Davao Region joined the battle.
05:32Welcome to the beautiful Philippines.
05:36We are your campus, Connectang Balang.
05:42What we did now is we just introduced them for a while.
05:47But they were able to exceed that expectation.
05:54The other group experienced a technical problem.
05:59I'm still in the stage of exploration.
06:02The competition lasted all night.
06:05But the coach from Region 7, Teacher Aileen,
06:08wasn't tired while waiting for her students to join.
06:14We will show you the beautiful Philippines.
06:20Wow, awesome.
06:22We think that we could have done better.
06:24But the flow of our broadcast was smooth.
06:29Verity's group also joined the Mock Studio.
06:33Welcome to the beautiful Philippines.
06:39Don't be disappointed if you are not the favorite.
06:46But they were not satisfied with their performance.
06:49I was a bit disappointed with my performance.
06:54But I believe that we did our best.
06:58The last group joined the competition from Cordillera Administrative Region.
07:03From Tabuk City in Calinga, they crossed mountains and seas almost all day.
07:09They could only reach Cebu.
07:11We have to visit the studio that we will use for the contest.
07:15Our flight was at 7 p.m. so we were not able to make it.
07:19They also don't have a proper uniform.
07:22Their budget was already allocated for their food and equipment.
07:27We prioritized our equipment.
07:30But that was not in their attire.
07:32It was in their performance.
07:35Long live, Philippines!
07:37Long live, Carter City!
07:39We are here to bring you the latest news from the Philippines right now.
07:44Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much.
07:46And I hope that the next generation of our students will join us.
07:53NSPC is one of the programs of the Ministry of Education
07:58to improve the lives of students in the field of Campus Journalism.
08:04While the National Schools Press Conference is being held,
08:08we have teachers who continue to help us
08:15teach our students how to embrace their education.
08:23One of the products of NSPC
08:27and a proud Prescon student is Raffy Tima.
08:32He was a big influence for me.
08:34When I was in college, he was one of my top of mind
08:37who gave me a career in writing.
08:40One more thing that I can share is that not all jobs are related to being a reporter.
08:45A part of a documentary or even a newscast is what's behind the camera.
08:50So don't always dream of being a reporter on-cam.
08:53It's not the end-all and be-all of this industry.
08:56There's still a lot.
08:57As long as your foundation is good at writing, start from there.
09:00Meanwhile, this Friday is the most anticipated announcement
09:05of the winners of TVF Radio Broadcasting.
09:16Andrea's group from Calabarzon,
09:20Bigong Makapuesto,

09:27from Ilocos Region.
09:33And the champion this year is Kokonan from Region 10.
09:43In Filipino TV Broadcasting,

09:57defending champion Bigong Makapuesto,
10:05champion group from Calabarzon,
10:16won the NSPC Championship for the 7th year in a row.
10:23And the overall champion is Davao Region.
10:28A lot of our teachers are saying that they're also dragging their needs
10:32into their own pockets during the trainings.
10:35The biggest problem of our education system
10:38is the lack of funding.
10:40It's not just in terms of extracurricular activities,
10:43but also the basic needs of our schools.
11:08I realized that journalism is very important
11:12to dig deeper and to be able to deliver those stories that really matter.
11:18To those who are dreaming of becoming a journalist like me,
11:23like all of us,
11:24I hope that your journalism will continue to serve our country
11:31by spreading the truth.
11:42Thank you for watching, Kapuso.
