CARCAR, PHILIPPINES — Davao Region, designated as Region 11, dominated over 17 other regions in claiming the title of Overall Champion for this year’s National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) in individual, group, and school paper events, both in elementary and secondary, held from July 8-12.
The newly awarded region defeated Calabarzon, which was one year away from holding the title for a decade, making the feat a hot topic among journalism enthusiasts alike.
Placing below Davao is the National Capital Region (NCR); meanwhile, the dethroned region, Calabarzon, finished in third place. Respectively, Region 3 and Region 2 took the two remaining spots.
Previously, the winning region placed second for the 2023 commencement held in Cagayan de Oro, which marked NSPC’s comeback after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
