Fifteen students from the Media Center 2018 (MC2018) represented UPIS and won first runner-up honors in the recently-concluded YouThink 2017 held last February 18 at the UP Palma Hall.
YouThink is an annual writing seminar and competition for high school students organized by The Guilder Institute, the official publication of the UP Cesar EA Virata School of Business. Co-presented by The Philippine Star, this year’s event was themed Metanoia: Be the Change.
Garnering the second highest overall score, UPIS bested 9 other schools including third placer Holy Spirit School of Quezon City but fell short to champion St. Theresa’s College.
The MC2018 team also bagged 4 individual medals, with Trisa de Ocampo and Marianne Sasing taking home 1st place in the News Writing and Business Writing events, respectively. Hannah Manalo finished next to Sasing in the same category while Hillary Fajutagana clinched third in the Editorial Writing event.
De Ocampo, Sasing, and other first place winners have the chance to have their work published in The Philippine Star.
The representatives were distributed among 6 writing events, namely, News, Business News, Feature, Editorial, Cartooning, and Photojournalism. Before the competition, a series of talks regarding the said writing events were conducted.
“It was a great learning experience for us and hopefully we can share what we learned with our classmates,” shared Forth Soriano, MC2018’s Editor-in-Chief who also participated in the event.// by Bryan Lina
