CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga - Ram Christian Lapuz, the editorial cartoonist of Immaculate Conception International Education Systems Balagtas (ICIB), has primed against tens of the most elite drawers across Central Luzon - engraving his name into the campus' journalistic history after clinching the category's championship while representing the Schools Division of Bulacan in the recent Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC-CONFAB), May 22,2024 at the City of San Fernando (CSF).

Lapuz is the current Provincial-level champion in the editorial cartooning category and transcended against the odds after nailing the Division Knock-out Round which resulted to him achieving a decisive ticket to San Fernando ; he soon allotted his energy and creativity in practicing his cartooning techniques and skills alongside his mentor, Mr. Jan Kriel Mayo. 

On the dawn of May 22nd, he and ICP Santa Maria Campus' Editorial Writer, Jelibel Arella has set out on a mission to CSF to claim glory for their respective ICInstitutions campuses and the Schools Division of Bulacan.

After a grueling competition, the team ICInstitutions held their breaths as the increasingly nervous contestants started to overthink whether they are going to win or go home and miss the chance to nationals - a sigh of fresh air of victory soon landed by their side as Lapuz fulfilled his target glory as he domineered the confab and gained a historic ticket to the upcoming National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) in Cebu.

Lapuz's pivotal chance for NSPC crown.

The winning cartoonist is not a newbie in the NSPC as he previously vied in the Nationals for the same category as the recent crown at CSF proved to be a chance for him to dominate nationwide in the upcoming Cebu stint.

Lapuz's victory contributed to the endless streak of victories notched by the Schools Division of Bulacan in the confab - causing Bulacan to be hailed as the consecutive top-scoring division in the Regional Schools Press Conference.
