Principal, Telabastagan Integrated School
City of San Fernando Pampanga

Madam:

Being able to express ideas in a well-structured and creative way is one of the primary objectives of Campus
Journalism. Hence, students with passion and aptitude to write are given opportunities not only to join contests but
also to come up with their school organ that functions as their instrument to articulate factual information, unbiased
opinions and meaningful insights regarding the happenings and issues within the school, community and country.
In view of this study, I would like to ask your permission allowing me to organize and manage a seminar –workshop
on Campus Journalism with the aspiring campus journalists and editorial board of KALASAG, the official school
publication of the Junior High School and Senior High School of Telabastagan Integrated School. This entails
promoting students journalistic skills in writing, showcasing the accomplishments and best practices of Telabastagan
Integrated School and preparing for the upcoming Divisions School Press Conference. I am recommending Mr. Jonel
Velasquez, a SHS teacher and School Paper adviser of Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School to facilitate
the said seminar. He has been able to be a coach in DSPC and RSPC. Moreso, Mr. Velasquez is highly competent to
discuss the chosen topics since he has a vast background regarding writing and Journalism.

The help and assistance that you will extend will contribute greatly to the success of this endeavor. Thank you very
much.

Respectfully yours,

DANICA D. GUEVARRA
SHS School Paper Adviser

 Post Training Report on the Campus Journalism Seminar- Workshop

The opening program is formally started with a prayer and the singing of the Philippine National Anthem

which were led and conducted by selected students. After that, the participants were encouraged to do Zumba as a

form of exercise for them before the training proper. Then, Mrs. Ma. Emelyn G. Cunanan, school paper adviser of the

elementary department gave the opening remarks and Mrs. Danica D. Guevarra formally introduced the resource

speaker, Mr. Jonel A. Velasquez. He started his discussion on Feature Writing/ PAgsulat ng Lathalain in which he

enumerated the ingredients of an excellent feature article: 25% figurative language, 25% facts and statistics, 25%

quotes/ direct statements and 25% anecdotes.

Secondly, he tackled Editorial cartooning/ Pagguhit ng Kartoon pang Editoryal. He also gave tips on the said

topic by saying the best output contains 50% good drawing and 50% brilliant concept.

Editorial writing/ Pag sulat ng pangulong tudling was the third topic which was discussed. In his discussion,

he even administed a check up test so that he could gauge the knowledge of students when it comes to current events.

An acronym to be followed in writing an editorial was also discussed so that the campus journalists will be guided

accordingly. This is the SPECS: State the problem, Position on the problem, Evidence to support the position,

Conclusion, Solutions.

The fourth topic that Sir Jonel discussed was the News Writing/Pagsulat ng balita. In this part, he talked about

the qualities of a good news writing and the characteristics that a good news writer must possess. He also gave them

an activity on writing a sample lead based on the event which was taking place. Then in the afternoon, proofreading

and sports writing were given emphasis. Most students got interested in CRHW because it was their first time to have

a seminar about the said category.

The training was concluded with the awarding of the certificate to the resource speaker and taking of pictures.

Though, it was Saturday and the talk ended at 4:00 in the afternoon, the campus journalists and the coaches did

appreciate the talk of Mr. Velasquez for it was jam-packed with fresh and meaningful information.
