John Bryan Ulanday of The Philippine STAR has been re-elected as President of the Collegiate Press Corps for the 2025-26 athletic season, which covers UAAP Season 88 and NCAA Season 101.
Ulanday will be serving his third consecutive term at the helm of the unified organization covering the country’s major collegiate leagues after being voted by the members of print and online media during the general assembly and election on Sunday, October 19, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Justin Kenneth Carandang of GMA News Online was elected Vice President for Internal Affairs, Lui Morales of One Sports was voted as the Vice President for UAAP, Rommel Fuertes Jr. of Inquirer.net will serve as the Vice President for NCAA, while Rom Anzures of ABS-CBN News was voted as Secretary.
Making up this year's Board of Directors are Theodore Jurado of People's Journal, Christian Jacinto of SPIN.ph, Bea Micaller of GMA News Online, Abby Toralba of Malaya Business Insight, and Ralph Villanueva of Philstar.com.
In 2024, the CPC — previously separated as the UAAP and NCAA Press Corps before its unification in 2022 under a single umbrella — both introduced and continued the projects started by Ulanday since he assumed his role in 2023.
Among those were the inclusion of standouts from collegiate football in the Annual Awards Night for the first time, the introduction of the Power Rankings list for UAAP and NCAA teams on a weekly basis, as well as the historic CPC Outreach Program that provided aid to a bevy of orphans in Manila — with a big help from both UAAP and NCAA officials and coaches.
The CPC also plans to revive the sportswriting workshop and contest for campus media to help in honing the country’s future writers.
Backed by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), as well as Discovery Suites, Buffalo Wings N’ Things as minor sponsors, the CPC also included the Super Six award for collegiate volleyball in last year’s Awards Night to serve as the counterpart of the staple Mythical Team in basketball.
Meanwhile, former presidents Randolph Leongson of Cignal, Norman Lee Benjamin Riego of Spin.ph, Joey Villar of The Philippine STAR and Camille B. Naredo of ABS-CBN News will serve as advisers of the esteemed group covering the collegiate sports beat.
