The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) announced via Facebook that it is extending the application period for the Season 86 Correspondent for Cignal TV.
They are looking for aspiring reporters who are fluent in both English and Filipino, can think fast in a pressure-packed situation, and commit to sharing the stories of UAAP Athletes.
Other qualifications and requirements include:
- Applicants must be 18-23 years old
- Currently enrolled in a UAAP school
- Willing to give time for training sessions
- Eloquent and able to write well
- Curriculum Vitae
- Ninety (90) seconds video headshot package of self-explaining why they should join the organization in "fueling the future"
Aspiring applicants may submit their applications to [email protected] until August 10, 2023.
Meanwhile, the University of the East (UE) will be the host for this season and is seeking to start the league in September after the country’s hosting of the FIBA World Cup 2023. This year's theme is "Fueling the Future."
“We moved it to September 30 because of the FIBA [World Cup]. But then again FIBA will be finished by September 10 so we’re thinking of moving it a bit earlier but it depends on the availability of the venue. But we, as much as possible, would like to move it a little earlier than September 30 which also coincides with the 77th founding anniversary of UE,” UE Athletic Director Rod Roque said in a statement.
Roque added that they are eyeing an additional sporting event but have yet to disclose the details.
