In an effort to deliver content fast and accessible to the students of Santiago City National High School (SCNHS), The City Icon launched its official Facebook page last Nov. 8, 2022.

Moreover, in a statement released by the school’s publication, one of the other factors that triggered the advancement is to cater to the digital-first SCNHS community.

“Online devices are becoming much more domestic every passing day, making City Highers tech-savvy. Thereby, The City Icon sees the need to provide an avenue that directly supplies information to the digital natives,” the statement read.

On the other hand, The City Icon’s Editor-in-Chief, Lyra Mae Llantada, highlighted how the online publication simplifies the distribution of school papers, thus, helping them to reach a wider audience.

“Another thing that adds to the value of this development is the range of people the page can reach out to; unlike its print counterpart, it streamlines the issuance of school papers among City Highers; hence, acquiring more readers,” Llantada said in an interview.

The said FB page covers the latest news and updates regarding SCNHS. It is currently managed by the City Icon’s Editorial Board under the supervision of its School Paper Advisers.

Furthermore, City Highers expressed their delight upon the page launching, claiming that communication and dispatching of messages would now be easier with Icon’s online version.

“I’m very pleased that the publication is leveraging technology to its advantage. With The City Icon going virtual, information and communication are made easily accessible,” Lyra Aradanas, SCNHS’ Supreme Student Government President, noted.

“It’s nice to see the profound development. This goes to show how truly committed the publication is in terms of fulfilling its duty to the City High community,” Aradanas added.
