Due to the Extreme Heat Alert in Dapitan, with the heat index potentially reaching 42°C, classes are suspended this afternoon to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and personnel.

All students are advised to go home immediately after class and avoid unnecessary exposure to the extreme heat. Stay hydrated and take care of yourselves.

Stay safe, everyone!

HEAT ALERT: Heat Index in Dapitan May Reach 42°C — Dapitanons Urged to Take Precautions

The DOST-PAGASA projects that the heat index may reach as high as 42°C, a level where prolonged exposure to heat may cause heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and possible heat stroke.

With the intense heat, everyone is advised to take extra precautions, especially children, senior citizens, outdoor workers, and persons with health conditions.

💧 Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even before you feel thirsty.

🌤️ Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, particularly during the hottest hours of the day. If possible, limit strenuous outdoor activities and stay in shaded or well-ventilated areas.

👕 Wear light and breathable clothing and use umbrellas, hats, or other protection when going outdoors.

🚗 Never leave children, senior citizens, or pets inside parked vehicles, even for a short period.

🥤 Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, and very sugary drinks, which may contribute to dehydration.

⚠️ Know the warning signs of heat-related illness. Watch for dizziness, headache, excessive sweating, weakness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, confusion, or fainting. Move the affected person to a cool area immediately and seek medical assistance when necessary.

Ayaw hulata nga uhawon o luya na bago moinom og tubig. During extreme heat, prevention is our best protection.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and look out for one another, Dapitanons. 💙

🌟 Exploring Science, Technology, and Innovation! 🔬🚀 🌏✨

Potungan National High School zealously participated in the Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (ZamPen RSTW 2026) held on August 12–14, 2026 in Dipolog City, with the theme “Siyensya, Teknolohiya at Inobasyon: Kabliak sa Matatag, Maginhawa at Panatag na Kinabukasan.”

Together with its dedicated School Head, Head Teacher, Master Teacher, Science Teachers, and enthusiastic learners, Potungan National High School visited the various interactive exhibits yesterday after class, showcasing innovative solutions, technologies, and products developed and supported by the Department of Science and Technology – Zamboanga Peninsula (DOST-IX).

A major highlight of its educational visit was the Mobile Planetarium, which provided our learners with an immersive and interactive journey into astronomy and space science. It complemented their classroom learning and gave them a deeper appreciation and understanding of the wonders of the universe.

The experience was more than just a visit—it was an opportunity to discover, explore, and learn beyond the classroom. Through these exhibits and interactive experiences, our learners gained additional knowledge, inspiration, and appreciation for the vital role of science, technology, and innovation in shaping a better future.

Indeed, learning becomes more meaningful when we see it, experience it, and explore it!

Thank you so much, DOST-Zamboanga Peninsula, for providing our learners with this enriching and inspiring learning experience!
