In an interview with Muel Mark Bueno, Editor-in-chief of the said publication, he is grateful that majority of them placed in their categories after a long break from the regional press conferences.

โ€œAfter a three-year hiatus of The Torch North Luzonian in the Regional Higher Education Press Conference, as the current EIC, I can’t be more proud of our team. Even with only two days of preparation, the Torch North Luzonian came back strong in the RHEPC and proved once again that the publication holds some of the great journalists in the region,โ€ said Bueno.

Moreover, Bueno, Ramos, and Agustin will advance to the Luzonwide Higher Education Press Conference (LHEPC) on March 19-21 which will be held at Naga City, Camarines Sur.
