Today, September 3, 2026, Agmanic Elementary School participated in the Nationwide Simultaneous School Safety Drill for Active Attack Incident, an activity ordered by the Department of Education (DepEd) to help our learners and school personnel become more prepared and aware of what to do during emergency situations.
As part of the activity, PMSg Ernie E Venancio talked to our learners and school personnel about the proper actions to take in case of an active attack incident. He emphasized the importance of staying calm and not panicking, because panic and confusion may cause more trouble during an emergency.
He discussed the three important steps that everyone should remember: RUN, HIDE, and FIGHT.
RUN – If there is a safe way to escape, run away from the danger and go to a safe place.
HIDE – If running is not possible, find a safe place, stay quiet, and secure yourself until it is safe to come out.
FIGHT – As a last resort, if there is no way to run or hide and there is an immediate threat, be prepared to protect yourself and others.
Our Barangay Tanod on duty, Mr. Joseph A. Seraspi, was also given proper orientation on what to do and how to respond during this kind of situation.
The activity was participated in by all our learners and school personnel, who actively took part in the lecture and listened to the important reminders given during the orientation.
This activity reminded us that being prepared is very important. We may never know when an emergency might happen, but knowing what to do and staying calm can help save lives.
Thank you to PMSg Ernie E Venancio, Mr. Joseph A. Seraspi, and everyone who participated in making this activity meaningful and successful.
Stay calm. Stay alert. Stay prepared.
