Students, teachers, and emergency responders participated in the 1st Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill held on March 12, 2026, at exactly 3:30 PM.

The activity was spearheaded by the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office in coordination with the Philippine National Police, the Bureau of Fire Protection, and the 542nd Engineering Battalion. The drill aimed to strengthen earthquake preparedness and ensure that both students and school personnel are ready to respond effectively in the event of a real hazard.

The activity took place at Raymundo T. Tongson National High School Main in Barangay Talaban, which served as the pilot school for the exercise. During the drill, participants observed the phases of the drill, particularly the standard “Duck, Cover, and Hold” procedure and followed evacuation protocols guided by teachers and emergency responders.

The simulation helped demonstrate how coordinated actions among students, faculty, and response teams can reduce risks and ensure safety during earthquakes.

Officials emphasized that earthquake drills are essential in building awareness and preparedness within schools and communities. By conducting regular simulations such as the Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, authorities hope to strengthen disaster response capabilities and encourage everyone to stay alert and ready in times of natural hazards.
