!Vice-Chairperson for External Affairs
The name 'Union of Journalists of the Philippines' was originally used by the NUJP but by the time it decided to register itself as a formal organization, having several chapters in the country, it decided to add "National" and adopt the name 'National Union of Journalists of the Philippines' instead. Until now, the NUJP uses the UJP initials in its logo.
!Vice-Chairperson for Education
 
!Vice-Chairperson for Information and Research
After the terrible fate of the media and the Filipino people during Ferdinand Marcos's Martial Law and with the restoration of democracy in 1986, several Filipino media practitioners founded the NUJP to promote media professionalism and unionism. NUJP recognized that promoting a professional and unified media should start where it matters – students who are to be future media practitioners.
