the division all the way to the Regional level that will be held in Digos City,
this November 15-18, 2018.
Before the DSSPC, Mr. Pastrano said, “There are possibilities that one
of you will qualify to the regional level,” and really did come true. Only one
writer qualified to regional level. It’s a great challenge for me as a coach to
train many writers to qualify for RSSPC next year.
As a part of their preparation for the incoming Regional Schools Press
Conference, Pastrano said that “she need to upgrade her competitive level
and undergo training.” He added, “She should have more exposure then have
grammatical competence. It is also a must to spend time to read and explore.”
