In the 63rd National Rizal Youth Leadership Institute (NRYLI), two CAPSUNIAN ECHO journalists and student leaders won two awards in the Makabayang Sayawitan Competition held on Dec. 7 in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur.

Wendy Eunice P. Duntog, Associate Editor and Wenalyn C. Venerable, Layout Artist respectively led their members from different state universities and colleges in conquering the challenge of presenting creative nationalistic sing and dance performance.

Duntog's group clinched 3rd spot winning PhP 10,000 spot while Venerable's group secured 2nd place bringing home PhP 15,000.

In an interview, Wendy Eunice Duntog described her thoughts on the outcome and the work behind their performance.

"I decided to take on the challenge and commit to giving my best in Sayawitan," and shared further that she could not forget the moment she was chosen as leader saying "They trusted me and believed in me despite not knowing each other deeply".

Meanwhile, Wenalyn C. Venerable shared valuable lessons from the experience and her view on the result.

“The most important lesson from this experience is the power of teamwork and trust. When we relied on each other’s strengths, pressure turned into success—a spirit I want to carry into CAPSUNIAN ECHO", Venerable said.
