The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region 6 proudly congratulates the 25 Senior High School campus writers who have been conferred the 2026 IWAG Award! 🖊️✨

Out of many talented graduating collegiate campus editors across Western Visayas, these 25 exceptional students have proven their outstanding capabilities in Development Communication (DEVCOM), campus journalism, and academic performance.

For 49 years since its inception in 1977, the PIA-6 IWAG Award has served as the region's premier incentive scheme. It recognizes student writers who tirelessly promote national development through their campus publications.

Earning this award is no easy feat! These top 25 awardees are graduating editors who have consistently honed their craft by actively participating in PIA-6’s annual campus journalism seminar-workshops and college press conferences (PJTS and COPRE).

Many of our past IWAG Awardees now hold top positions in the media industry, the academe, government, and private institutions. We have no doubt that this year's batch of brilliant writers will go on to do exactly the same.

Congratulations, 2026 College Awardees! Padayon and see you in the field!
