PBA SCRIBES HOLD SPORTSWRITING CONTEST
Two widely-read sports columnists, Recah Trinidad of the Inquirer and Quinito Henson of the Star, will hold rare lectures on the fundamentals of news, feature and column writing an hour before the Phoenix Fuel-PBA Press Corps Sports Writing Contest two weeks from now at the Araneta Coliseum.
Registration for the annual contest open to all bona fide college students in Metro Manila and nearby provinces continues up to the end of the KFC-PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinal round.
Interested parties may call the PJBA office at 4702768 and 69 and look for Mich Flores or Hazel Ancheta. Students are advised to leave their contact numbers so they could be informed of the actual date of the contest.
The competition, also backed by the PBA Commissioner’s Office and Solar Sports, is set either on Game 2 or 3 of the semifinals of the ongoing conference, according to project co-chairmen Joel Orellana and Dennis Principe.
A 30-minute update on the developments in the Philippine Cup will also be provided by Malaya assistant sports editor Noli Cortez for the benefit of the contestants.
Cash prizes and certificates await the top three winners.
