Enclosure 2
e-RSPC ONLINE REGISTRATION GUIDELINES
I. OVERVIEW
The RPSC is the computerization project of DepEd CALABARZON and the

College of Computer Studies of the Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, Lucena
City. This joint venture digitizes the tedious paper-based practice in the management
of the annual conduct of the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) that is usually
participated in by almost 10,248 participants from the 21 Schools Division Offices in the
region. On its 5th year of implementation, the e-RSPC management made the system
available and accessible to all SDOs online, particularly in the registration of their
qualified applicants.
The general guidelines for the online registration have been made to provide
initial information about the e-RSPC system necessary in preparation for the RPSC.
Detailed guidelines on how to use the e-RSPC system shall only be given to the
designated encoders of each SDO.
II. USER/ENCODER REGISTRATION
1. The SDO must assign their official ENCODER for the e-RSPC.
2. The SDO should submit their entries to arbybermudez@gmail.com with the
subject e-RSPC ONLINE REGISTRATION ENCODER the following information
about their official encoder:
a. Name of Official Encoder
b. Email Address
c. Mobile Number
d. Name of SDO
III. SCHOOL PAPER ENTRIES
In encoding the school paper entries, the following must be clearly considered:
1. Encode all the required information for each paper entry:

a. School Paper Name
b. School Head
c. Student Publication Adviser
d. Medium and Level
*This can be done in one of the modules of the e-RSPC system.
2. Once the encoding has been finalized, set/submit this as the official entry in
any or all contests under the school paper category.
3. Each division is entitled to submit a maximum of 20 entries per category. More

than 20 entries will not be allowed in the system.
Page 11 of 73
IV. CAMPUS JOURNALISTS (CJS) AND STUDENT PUBLICATION ADVISERS (SPAS)

following must be considered:

a. Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial
b. Name of the School Publication
c. Name of School
d. Name of School Head
e. Role (for group contest only)
f. Name of Student Publication Adviser
Student Publication Advisers (SPAs)

a. Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial
b. Name of School Publication

3. It is mandatory to manage the required information of Student Publication

Adviser in a separate interface of the system. This is needed to have a
database of SPA that will be used in the verification and validation of the SPA

4. It is advisable to manage first the SPA’s required information before encoding
the Campus Journalists so that one only needs to choose from the encoded
SPAs in a dropdown combo box as the assigned SPA for a particular campus
journalist contestant.
5. On the other hand, submitting entries for SPA contests will allow you to choose
from dropdown list of SPA. Only those assigned SPA of the CJ in a particular
category can be designated as the official SPA contestant. For Collaborative
Publishing and Radio Broadcasting and Scriptwriting Categories, at least one
(1) official SPA is needed to form a team. Other members of the team can
come from other individual contests.
6. CJ entry allows a maximum of five (5) entries in all individual categories, while
for the SPA, it allows one (1) entry only. For the group contests---Collaborative,
Radio and TV Broadcasting and Scriptwriting, seven (7) members for one (1)
group is allowed to be encoded. Only five (5) member for one (1) group is
allowed for encoding for the Online Publishing Contests.
V. PDF FORMAT OF ENTRIES
1. The e-RSPC system allows all SDOs to view and print all their encoded entries in
PDF Format.
2. After the online registration process, all SDOs must print their official entries to
be presented to the RTWG during the submission of school paper entries. This
will be used for verification purposes.
Page 12 of 73
VI. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
1. During the online registration period, the e-RSPC technical team shall be ready
to assist the official encoders only.
2. The e-RSPC Technical Team members can be reached through email, mobile
phone and/or Facebook/Messenger.
3. Contact details of the technical team shall be sent to the designated official
encoder through email.
