Last October 10–11, the Junior Journalist Guild Radio-TV Club Workshop brought together Girl Scouts from different schools of Iloilo at the Iloilo Girl Scout Council. Our delegates for this meaningful event were Mariann Andrea Panes, Khailen Peloquero, Mary Yuen Surmion, Alexys Nycolle Quimba, and Alexa Taberna—all Senior Girl Scouts.
This activity was held for young GSP journalists to be given advice and guidance to develop their skills in broadcasting, news writing, and responsible reporting. The girls had an incredible experience—they went on a radio hopping tour across three different stations, where they met professional news anchors and learned firsthand how radio stations operate behind the scenes.
To finish off the event, our delegates brought home recognitions! Mary Yuen Surmion was awarded the Most Promising Radio Broadcaster Award, while Mariann Andrea Panes received the Most Promising Writer Award.
This event was such a wonderful opportunity and experience for the girls. Beyond the awards, they learned that good journalism is not just about skills, it is about responsibility, integrity, and using one's voice to inform and serve the community. They gained new knowledge, discovered new passions, met inspiring mentors, and returned home more confident and ready to grow as young storytellers.
