Step into the realm of words, where ink meets inspiration and dreams take flight. The SPO Festival, is back with its new name Hiraya Festival, a beacon of hope and imagination, inviting you to witness the magic that transforms mere sentences into the catalysts of change. Join us as we resurrect the spirit of campus journalism, breathing life into aspirations, and amplifying the voices of a generation dedicated to truth and progress. It’s more than ink on paper; it’s a revelation.

Reviving aspirations and dreams, the Hiraya Festival marks the triumphant return of campus journalism after a prolonged hiatus.

Opening this highlight, one of the most anticipated events of this school year, entails recognizing the contributions made by campus journalists and the value of their work in advocating press freedom.

Campus journalists serve as the voice of the student body as they encourage openness and raise awareness through offering unbiased writing. They actively promote the expression of free speech, emerge from pertinent issues, and contribute to fostering a dynamic and lively atmosphere within the campus community. Their efforts not only endorse the exchange of ideas but also enhance the overall vibrancy of the campus environment.

To give significance to the School Publications Office of EVSU-Ormoc, join us, the Observer, this upcoming November 28-29, 2023, as we will celebrate the SPO Festival with the theme “Hiraya Sibol-Fest: Celebrating Creativity and Campus Media, Observer’s 20 Years and Beyond”. It’s a celebration that not only acknowledges the past two decades of the Observer but also looks forward to a future filled with creativity and growth in campus media.
