• DLA participated in DepEd Media Convergence. Some 18 DLA Gazette staffers participated in the lecture contest on Media Convergence in Salawag, Dasmarinas on Aug. 14-16, 2012 bagging some awards as listed down below.

About 800 pupils from 37 schools were in attendance in this major inter-school campus journalism activity.  The DLA attributes this excellent performance of the Gazette staffers to the weeklong summer writing workshop held last May with PCU school paper adviser Teacher Rosalina Bawar and former PCU teacher Ms. Nanette Barzaga as trainors assisted by Teacher Jingle Ancheta.
