    Nyok nyok! I wasn't able to place in the NSPC, pero okey lang yun. I hope makaka-NSPC pa ako next year, maybe then makaka-place na me. hehe.

    wow congrats! anong place mo sa nationals? grabe til now di ko parin makalimutan na hanggang RSPC lang ako.. huhuhuuh.. eh kasi naman yung skul namin 4th year na ako pinasali ng DSPC, dapat since first year sinabak na ako sa DSPC. YUn tulooy di ko alam pasikot sikot at di pa ako masyadong marunong that time nung nasa rspc me. wah! NSPC.. hayy.. hanggang panaginip ko nalang :D

    Aww. I remember my Journ days back in highschool. I was always second best. I then end up to be Circulations Manager position in the staff. I always win in Divisions but I won't qualify sa Regionals because only one rep per school can go and I was always second best. :(

    Sports and Coptyyreading ang events ko.

    Hello! My student was to write about the NSPC here in Naga (I am from Pisay-Bicol Campus) and I had to surf the net for related info and chanced upon your account on your NSPC experience. I loved reading the whole article. You're a good writer. I am especially surprised you didn't place. I am happy that you loved your stay. Too bad, however, our school didn't make it to the nationals--that's after three years. Hahaha! Good luck on your endeavors! See me at www.gurugeri.multiply.com. God bless!

    By the way, I posted your article, just a part of it, here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=34... You may also take a peek into your own city's thread.

    Thanks for dropping by and for the awesome compliments, Jerry! I hope we'll have a chance to meet in next year's national presscon, God willing. :)

    Ha ha! I!m proud 2 say that we won in NSPC 2009 jaz 1st place in newswriting-filipino for elementary and 6th place in CR&HR-Filipino in elementary. From Davao del Norte Whew!!

    First off, congrats, Dean! I'm especially envious that you got to meet Mt. Mayon, my NSPC experience was snuffed out even before it happened because DECS (at that time, DECS pa sya) Region III thought it was dangerous to travel due to the alarming insurgency rate in the area (ewan naman kasi bakit doon pa ang napiling lugar, haay), but RSPC was fun, we toured Bataan, went up Mt. Samat and the eco-zone, but we have to admit, all of the sights and sounds are nothing compared to the friends we make and relationships we build during such competitions, davah?
    Congrats again and I hope next year's competition will win you a trophy!
  • Deantastic · 7 months ago
    Yeah, the DepEd does make some pretty silly decisions, huh? LOL. And I agree—the memories, experience and added knowledge one brings home from the NSPC, regardless of whether you won a trophy, are priceless.

    Thanks for dropping by! :)
  • caiie · 7 months ago
    Heey. I'm currently writing a travelogue about my NSPC experience for our school's summer magazine though I know it's kinda too late.HAHA NSPC 2009 really was fun though there were some negative feedbacks.. and I agree that the food really wasn't that great.haha anyways, anung year ka na? Hope we'd see each other next NSPC!:)
  • Deantastic · 7 months ago
    Hi, Caiie! I'm a senior, so this year will be my last chance to participate in the SPCs. God willing, I hope we can meet up in NSPC 2010! ;)

    hello dean! taga-asa ka sa bxu? i'm also from bxu but i'm working in cebu. this blog entry made me nostalgic about my NSPC experiences back in '98 and '02. hahay! memorable jud kaayo ang NSPC. i competed in feature writing-english pag-elementary in tandag, then editorial writing-english in high school at gensan. wala ko ka-place sa NSPC but the experience was truly unforgettable: meeting new friends who have the same passion, visiting new places. and somehow i feel proud to be one of those budding writers. hope you do well in your next stint. good luck!

    Feature Writing English. :D

    That's OK. Just because you didn't reach the nationals doesn't mean you're not good at what you do, right? :D
  • ysabarro · 3 weeks ago
    Hey,
    You're good,dude.
    I'm also a participant of the NSPC, and I also experience things like these.
    Well, I hope, if you are still joining the contest, you will again reach the top of the mountain or something like that. haha.
    God bless.
