SPAI STANDS PREPARED: Earthquake and Tsunami Drill Successfully Conducted
September 7, 2026
Safety took center stage as Saint Patrick's Academy, Inc. (SPAI) carried out its Earthquake and Tsunami Drill, giving learners and staff a chance to put disaster preparedness into practice.
The drill walked everyone through the key actions that save lives: dropping into Duck, Cover, and Hold, staying composed and attentive to instructions, then evacuating in a calm, orderly manner to the designated safe zones.
For tsunami readiness, the reminder was simple but critical — a strong or long earthquake near the coast means it's time to move to higher ground immediately, without waiting for an official alert. Shorelines and riverbanks stay off-limits until authorities give the all-clear.
Principal Leah May B. Unajan, MEM, LPT reminded the community that preparedness should be woven into everyday school life — approached with seriousness, discipline, and calm, so that when a real emergency comes, everyone responds with confidence instead of fear.
DRRM Coordinator Marissa Batas, LPT encouraged learners and personnel to take each drill as a genuine rehearsal, sharpening the reflexes needed to act correctly the moment it truly matters.
Because at SPAI, protecting one another is a responsibility we all share.
In God We Trust.
