CSB student wins sportswriting tilt

07/03/2007

Wilfred Evan Jotojot, a student from College of St. Benilde, won the firstever PBA-PBAPC National Sportswriting Contest held last March at the Araneta Coliseum.

Organized by the PBA Press Corps and supported by PBA Commissioner’s Office through Media Bureau chief Willy Marcial, Jotojot bested-more than 40 participants from different schools in the country to bag the P20,000 cash prize.

Josiah Israel Albelda of UP-Diliman copped the second place and P10,000 while Jiorg Michael Atutubo of Centro Escolar University placed third and pocketed P5,000. All winners will receive certificates from the organizers.

Awarding will be on Friday, July 6, during halftime of the battle for third place between San Miguel Beer and Red Bull also at the Big Dome. Winners are requested to come early. The three winners may reach Hazel Ancheta at the PBA Office (638-1815 to 17) for further queries about the awarding.

Yes, folks. He won the FIRST PRIZE. :) Super duper proud of you waaaah. :) Ang galing galing. Who would have thought that he'd win the P20k?? I don't think he even expected it. The contest was on March pa, and who would have thought that after 3 months or so, bigla na lang may P20k jan na lalabas sa harap niya? Eh kailan ka lang naging writer Jov, ha? College lang? Truly. You had it in you. Tama na ang pagka-talented. Hehe.

Asked him, the contest daw was, the participants were made to watch a PBA game (tama ba?). Then in one hour, they should be able to write an article (a gamestory, that's what I remember texting me Jov) and submit it after the allotted time has finished.

So, that was challenging. But since this guy over here is a really good writer (na feeling niya hindi naman daw), siyempre, he deserved the most-coveted 1st prize. Yiheee. :) I want to be there pa naman during the awarding, that's how proud I am. Kaso I have a quiz on that day and time. Pft. *Isipin ko na lang, nandun ako! Hahaha*

I haven't got a hold of what he wrote on the contest yet, but I'm sure it was really great. Yan ang napapala ng mga procrastinator noh dear, mas expert gumawa ng article pag may time constraint. Hahaha. :p

Such a big, big blessing. :)

Congratulations Princey! :)
