Rizalian Campus journalists shine in RSPC 2026
The way to the stage was not easy for the collaborative writers of Rizal Elementary School who landed third place in the recently concluded CAR Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) in Bangued, Abra on March 9-13.
The team joined the same competition (Collaborative Desktop Publishing, English Category) during the RSPC 2025 in Tadian Mountain Province but lost against the seven other divisions which led to their drive to work harder and do better this year, and their hard work paid off. Although the group will not advance to the national competition Belle Javier, Faiza Joy Aboyme, Jamilla Ritha Martin, Alexandria Alcazar, Athena Jessamine Taliwan, Jaan Layus, and Zhian Binmokod with their coach Genesis Yang-ed proudly received their certificates which added to the points gained by the Schools Division of Baguio City as the champion in the RSPC 2026.
Individual writers likewise won in different categories during the Division Schools Press Conference qualifying them to the RSPC. Gabriel Caleb G. Laron got third place in ‘Pagsulat ng Lathalain’, Princess Jay V. Logdo second place in ‘Pagsulat ng Editoriyal’, Jillian Trixie R. Ducusin second in ‘Pagsulat ng Kolum’ under the guidance of Coach Annabel De Guzman while Alexia Leigh Ngaosi won second place in Copyreading and Headline Writing and Ruby Rayne Racuya third place in Editorial Cartooning with Coach Jocelyn Raborar.
The Filipino newsletter ‘Ang Rizalian’ is among the top ten school papers placing seventh in ‘Pahinang Agtek’ and will be included in the National School Press Conference in April.
Earlier, 'Ang Rizalian' also won several awards in the DSPC, including 1st place in Pahinang Lathalain, 1st in Pahinang Agtek, 3rd in Layout, and 4th in Pahinang Isports.

RES nakiisa sa 18-Day Campaign to End VAWC
Matagumpay na nakilahok ang Rizal Elementary School sa 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) noong Nobyembre 25, alinsunod sa DM 711, s. 2025.
Bilang pakikiisa sa adbokasiya, nagsuot ng kulay kahel na damit ang mga guro at ilang mag-aaral na sumisimbolo sa pag-asa at sa isang kinabukasang malaya sa karahasan.
Isa sa mga tampok na bahagi ng kampanyang ito ang pagsasagawa ng anti-bullying sessions na pinangasiwaan ng Philippine National Police (PNP), Regional Mobile Force Battalion 15 para sa mga mag-aaral ng Baitang 4-6 sa pakikipagtulungan ng SELG sa pangunguna ni Orlando Fariñas.
Makatotohanan at kapana-panabik ang mga talakayan at nakatulong ang mga ito upang mas maunawaan ng mga mag-aaral kung paano manindigan laban sa pambu-bully at pangalagaan ang kanilang sarili.
Nagsagawa naman ng makabuluhang mga gawain ang mga mag-aaral ng Kindergarten-Baitang 3 tulad ng panonood ng video at gawaing sining na may kaugnayan sa kampanya laban sa karahasan, gayunding iniugnay ito sa kanilang mga aralin.
Ang aktibong pakikiisa ng paaralan ay patunay lamang ng matatag na paninindigan na wakasan na ang karahasan at pagpapanatili ng mas ligtas na kapaligiran para sa lahat ng kababaihan, kabataan lalong lalo na ng mga mag-aaral.
