Out of the 16 participating teams and 109 participants, Team UNO-R of five CBA students emerged as one of the 10 Topnotchers in the Department of Trade and Industry “Youth Entrepreneurship Program” Regionals, September 1. Honey Jeremae Sy, Mealyn Bullag, Maessie Manilingan, Jose Cadazo, and Troy De Arroz proved and demonstrated their excellence and prowess with their previous entrepreneurial business pitch of “Culture on Wheels” being selected as one of the 10 Topnotchers in the DTI “Youth Entrepreneurship Program: You Can Be Your Own Boss” Regional Level.
“Representing unor is a surreal experience, especially to us, as first timers, to represent the school in a big contest. Luckily we [are] able to be one of the top performing teams out of the 16 competing groups from different regions. We are also thankful to our mentors, Miss Joanne, Sir Ariel, Sir Bryan, Dean Grace, and also to our mentors at DTI, Sir Mark and Sir Gab, and especially to Miss Nawanao, for handpicking us to represent the school for [the] YEP program and for making this experience pleasant and an unforgettable one,” Troy Angelo de Arroz expressed.

Developing networks and engaging with fellow journalists in the district, The Business Primer attended the College Editor’s Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) Negros Grand Relaunching Program at the Vianney Hall, Bacolod Cathedral, on September 2.
“We as campus journalists are also advocates of human rights,” said Edgar Cadagat, a long-time CEGP member and the special event resource speaker. “As I attend this kind of program, and as a journalist, I am enlightened by my passion for journalism. I can deepen my understanding [of] campus journalism and of genuine democracy. This relaunching enables us-campus/college journalists to build solidarity and connection with one another for a stronger bond. Moreover, as we, Primers, engage in different student publications here in Negros, we feel delighted and privileged to be part of this relaunching of CEGP-Negros,” said Laiza Grace Pablito, an attendee of the event representing The Business Primer.
CEGP’s relaunching program was participated by 16 different school publications from different campuses and universities within Negros Occidental, including the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, the University of St. La Salle, Colegio de San Agustin-Bacolod, Binalbagan Catholic College, the Technological University of the Philippines-Visayas, Riverside College, Carlos Hilado Memorial State University-Talisay, Alijis, and Fortune Towne, and Negros Occidental High School.
