Out of the 31 students who came in to claim a spot, only one came out on top.

Yzl Beatriz Taguines, a young girl with a bright smile, has earned a post-worthy title as one of the Top 10 winners at PSPC 2025!

She might be small, but thanks to her, she marked a glorious moment for Glory Dei Montessori College (GDMC) of Santa Ignacia, Tarlac for the school year 2025–2026. The road has been rough and bodies may ache, but the young members of the journalism club, The Deily, are determined to bring home the glory.

After a long month of hard work, filled with anticipation and trembling confidence, the literary students finally faced their competition at the annual Private Schools Press Conference (PSPC).

The rays of the morning sun greeted the many participants—reminding them to value the time the day had brought.

Yzl probably knew this already.

Though only 10 years old and never having won in the previous PSPC as a photojournalist, the Grade 5 student never gave up. She went in and tried again. She listened closely to what her adviser and trainer taught her and diligently remembered their lessons when her hands touched the camera.

So many pictures were taken—so many moments to capture—each needing to be at the right time and in the right place.

She was part of the first batch to compete. Sports Writing, Copyreading, and Feature Writing were held on Friday along with Photojournalism, so the results from the judges on her photographs were announced the following week.

That moment finally came.

Sir Arman and Sir Lloyd, the two overseers of GDMC’s young journalists, practically had their mouths drop and shouted from their seats. Everyone else in the club did too. Almost everyone in the school jumped for joy at the news.

With the lucky number on her side, Yzl placed No. 7 among the Top 10 winners in Junior Photojournalism (English category).

She, who hadn’t been on the top roster last year, now has the chance to enter the District Schools Press Conference (DSPC)—another golden moment for GDMC.

Four students last year made it into the Top 10, making history for the school in Santa Ignacia. They may not have taken home the gold or advanced further, but it’s undeniable that they ran so Yzl could walk to the top.

Now that GDMC is back to compete at the DSPC with a new player in the game, Yzl will surely take the perfect shot—one that will last a lifetime, not just for the school, but for herself.

Energy was high as campus journalists documented every highlight, and competitors gave it their all! Best of luck to everyone as we await the results—your passion and perseverance are already a victory.

October 18th marks GDMC’s third appearance at the PSPC, and once again, it was a day filled with achievement and pride.

On Day 2, our talented Editorial Writers, Editorial Cartoonists, and News Writers took the spotlight at Saint Rose Catholic School in Paniqui, Tarlac. With sharpened pencils, powerful voices, and creative minds, they represented GDMC with passion and professionalism. The challenges were real, but so were the victories—whether in performance or in personal growth. Each CJ brought honor to the school and returned home with heads held high.

A big congratulations to all our Campus Journalists! With both days now behind us, we celebrate not only the results but the spirit of dedication and excellence that each of you brought to the field. Bravo, GDMC!

Special thanks to our SPAs, Sir Mark Arman L. Torres, Sir John Lloyd T. Molina, Sir. John Alfred Sumoba, and Ma’am Jinky Erang for guiding us throughout this competition.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls — today marks yet another successful day for Glory Dei Montessori College, Inc. Mayantoc and Santa Ignacia at the Private Schools Press Conference (PSPC)!

The 17th of October signifies GDMC’s third visit to the PSPC, and it proved to be another day of triumph and fulfillment.

Sports Writers, Photojournalists, Feature Writers, and Copy Reading & Headline Writers — all made up the lineup of Day 1 contenders at a new arena: the campus of Saint Rose Catholic School in Paniqui, Tarlac.

Congratulations, CJs! We can now proudly check this day off and look forward to Day 2, where our remaining CJs will have their moment to represent GDMC. Best of luck to them — and heartfelt thanks to our SPAs, Sir Mark Arman L. Torres, Sir John Lloyd T. Molina, Ma’am Evelyn C.
