FLORIDABLANCA -- Student journalists from private schools in Pampanga's second district are now battling it out for the Cluster Press Conference at the Saint Augustine Academy of Pampanga.
The cluster conference is a qualifier for student journalists who would like to compete in the division level of the conference which is a yearly competition in the rudiments of journalism writing from news, feature and sports writing among others.
Collaborative media categories like radio broadcasting and desktop publishing are also anticipated events in the competition.
The competing schools include Santa Rita College, Dominican School, Saint Catherine Academy, Guagua National Colleges, Santa Cruz Academy of Lubao among others. Winners who would qualify for the division level will be competing with other private as well as public schools.
