Last September 8, 2013 at SM City Event Center, the 11th ABS-CBN Inter-School Newscasting Competition took place, and Janine May Coo, the representative of St. Paul University Iloilo and a fourth year student of AB Mass Communication, won as CHAMPION over the other competing colleges and universities.

Janine has always wanted to be a newscaster. She has joined the newscasting competition since she was in high school. When she reached college at St. Paul University, she tried again, competing against students from upper levels. She proved successful and represented the University when she was in her first year. Although she may not have won that time,her passion towards newscasting did not waver. Three years later, she again gave it a try after some encouragement from her College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) family and won the honor of representing the University for the 11th Inter-school Newscasting Competition. Her victory made her CAS Family proud. Many Paulinians, Janine’s friends and teachers, especially from the College of Arts and Sciences, devoted their Sunday afternoon supporting Janine at SM City Event Center. This victory is the victory of all Paulinians, especially for her AB Mass Communication Family, for her College of Arts and Sciences Family, and definitely for her University Family. We are proud of you, Janine! The Love of Christ Impels Us!
