The speakers highlighted the role of campus journalists in upholding truth, accountability, and responsible journalism while exercising press freedom.

For participating student journalists, the congress served as a venue for learning, professional development, and exchange of experiences among campus publications from across Central Luzon.

The 5th YJPFC was organized by the Gitnang Luzon Alliance of Campus Press Advisers, Inc. (GLACPA) in partnership with the Young Journalists Association of Region III (YJAR 3).

With press freedom comes the responsibility to tell the truth and serve the public. As young journalists return to their respective campuses, the 5th YJPFC left them with a renewed commitment to uphold integrity, accountability, and responsible journalism—one story at a time.
