Led by Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ma. Laarni T. Villanueva, the delegation from SDO Isabela City demonstrated outstanding talent, discipline, and creativity in campus journalism, earning recognition in various individual and group competitions.
Isabela City also placed 5th in the Elementary School Paper-Based Competition, 8th in the Secondary School Paper-Based Competition, and 8th overall in this year’s Regional Schools Press Conference.
