In his closing remarks, Khif Muamar Miranda, head of the Public Information Unit of DdOSC, reminded participants that the value of the competition extended beyond the final rankings.

“You are all winners,” Miranda said, recognizing the efforts of all participating institutions and underscoring the significance of their involvement in campus journalism.

From its equally successful first gathering in 2025, the summit continues to serve as another platform for aspiring campus journalists to sharpen their skills, exchange ideas, and strengthen their commitment to responsible journalism.

𝗗𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 | 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁

In a world that constantly tells you to do more, be better, and become more, it is easy to forget that you are already worthy as you are. You may look at others and feel like you are falling behind, question your abilities, or wonder if you are doing enough

"Ano bang meron sa kanila na wala sa'kin?"

"Bakit parang may kulang?"

Sometimes, we become so focused on what others have that we forget to value what we carry within ourselves. We compare our strengths to theirs, our progress to theirs, and lives to the parts of their stories we get to see. Without realizing it, we begin to believe that we need to be more like someone else to be worthy of the same happiness, love, and opportunities.

But the truth is...

You do not have to become someone else to be enough.

You do not have to be someone else to be worthy of the life you want. You simply have to give yourself the chance to grow into it while appreciating the person you already are.

You are enough, not because you have everything figured out, but because your worth was never something you had to earn.

𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡 | 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯 𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯 𝗻𝗮 ‘𝗱𝗶 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮

Papasok sa eskwelahan na kumpleto ang gamit—pulbo, lipstick, blush, at iba pang klase ng kolorete sa mukha. Handang-handa na kung sakaling pagpawisan sa pakikipagtalastasan.

Pero ako ay minsan nang nakuwestiyon dahil dito, “𝘉𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘵 𝘬𝘢 𝘣𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘮𝘦-𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘶𝘱? 𝘌𝘩 𝘴𝘢 𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯?”

Karaniwang sagot ko ay dahil hilig ko ito. Pero lihim kong hinihiling . . . na sana may makaintindi sa katotohanang hindi lamang ito simpleng pagkokolorete.

Kung ballpen ang gamit para makamit
ang inaasam-asam na kinabukasan,
𝘬𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘬𝘰
𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘺𝘢𝘯.

Sa paraang ito ko binibigyang-buhay ang sariling puno ng patay na pangarap. Sa paraang ito ko nakuhang takpan ang mga bakas ng pakikipagbakbakan—maputlang balat, malalaking eyebags, at lalo na ang tuyong labi.

Sa paraang ito ko naipapakita ang kintab na ‘di matagpuan sa mga mata.
