CEGP was initially a traditional organization focusing on gathering student press and honing their journalistic skills.
In its almost 80-year existence, CEGP has been an active player in the political scene, condemning political excesses and supporting the welfare of the violated sectors of the society, including the working class and the press. Specifically, CEGP spearheaded the Democratic Reform Movement, together with Youth for National Democracy and Alyansa Laban Sa Pagtaas ng Matrikula, to call for the reopening of sequestered publications and removal of military detachments in campuses during Martial Law. In the more recent history, CEGP was among the force that called to oust the anti-press Joseph Estrada. Presently, CEGP is active in its campaign against press freedom violations.
