In support to the development of young learners’ literacy and awareness of journalism as a valuable tool for education and expression, the College of Arts and Humanities Registered Student Organizations (CAH RSOs) conducted Building Bridges: a Journalism Extension Activity at Klondykes Elementary School, Tuba, Benguet on March 24, 2026.

The collaboration of the RSOs is motivated by their drive to strengthen the partnership between the university and the community and to encourage student participation on extension endeavors. These RSOs included iTANGGUYOB (CAH student publication), CAH Student Government (CAH-SG), English Language and Literature Students’ Association (ELLSA of BAEL students), and Communication Students’ Society (COMMSS of BACOM students).

The activity was participated by elementary learners of the said school and their teachers. Specifically, it aimed to develop the fundamental journalism skills of the learners by enhancing their abilities in news writing, science writing, and feature writing, to cultivate their critical thinking, observation, and creativity through engaging in writing activities related to real-life events, and to empower them to communicate information clearly and responsibly.

Jideah Nicole Nicomedez, iTANGGUYOB Assistant Managing Editor and BAEL student, discussed the basic principles of feature writing while Arby P. Tamayo, iTANGGUYOB Associate Editor and BAEL student, shared his knowledge on Science Writing and Camille Yangkin, iTANGGUYOB Editor-in-chief and BACOM student, finished the discussion with her lecture on news writing.

Officers of ELLSA and COMMSS also helped guide the learners on their hands-on exercises and facilitated the flow of the program while ELLSA Adviser Fresan Dimple N. Cabrera and COMMSS Adviser Revin Xavier L. Ignacio served as overseers.
