Neska Centina is a journalist whose passion for storytelling has been shaped by both her media experience and legal background. Holding a Juris Doctor from the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, she blends her understanding of law with her expertise in mass communication.
Her journey in journalism began in elementary school, where she first served as Editor-in-Chief of her school publication, a role she continued in high school. This early love for writing led her to pursue Mass Communication at the same university, where she further honed her skills as Sports Editor for the Tolentine Star.
After earning her degree, Neska’s career took her from the digital newsroom of ABS-CBN to local radio stations like Brigada News FM and Radyo Bandera Bacolod, where she reported, wrote, and anchored news. Her experience spans various platforms, allowing her to craft stories that are both compelling and informed by her legal knowledge. Today, Neska utilizes her varied background to enhance the field of journalism, reaching from Texas to the Philippines and the world.
