The Central Echo, also known as CE or Central Echo, is the official student media of Central Philippine University. It was founded in 1910, five years after Central's forerunner, the Jaro Industrial School, opened. The Central Echo is one of the oldest student publications in the Philippines.[1]
Established originally as The Hoe, The Central Echo has evolved to be one of the best college student publications in the Western Visayas region: It has been recognized as Second Best Magazine and Fifth Best Newspaper by the Philippine Information Agency-Region 6 in 2009. Central Echo circulates twice in a regular semester and a summer literary folio every summer, but turned into a wide range of publications with tabloid and recently released Paraw, an art portfolio of the publication.[2]
