Congratulations, Euni!

The Philippine Collegian bagged an award at the 11th University of Santo Tomas National Campus Journalism Awards.

News staffer Eunicito O. Barreno won the best in-depth report award for his report on minors registered to vote for elections in Lanao Del Sur. It follows the story of Samira along with other minors who were forced to register for the 2016 local and national elections.

“There were two main reasons why minors registered for the local and national elections: to receive vote-buying money from local candidates and to help relatives who are running for local positions win,” the article reads.
