Pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 117, s. 2026, the SDOIN community played the ASEAN Anthem, “The ASEAN Way,” along with the official ASEAN 2026 Song, “One Vision, One Ocean.” This initiative will continue every Monday throughout August to build regional awareness, promote cooperation, and strengthen solidarity among ASEAN member states.

Following the flag ceremony, SDO Ilocos Norte distributed Lapel Voice Amplifiers to school heads, led by Schools Division Superintendent Atty. Donato D. Balderas Jr.

Steadfast in Safety: SDOIN Unites for Provincewide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill

In response to Executive Order No. CAM 074-26, s. 2026 issued by Governor Cecilia Araneta-Marcos, the Schools Division of Ilocos Norte (SDOIN), through the leadership of Schools Division Superintendent Atty. Donato D. Balderas, Jr., directed all public and private elementary and secondary schools to participate in the Provincewide Schools Simultaneous Earthquake Drill today, July 30, 2026 (8:30 A.M.).

Learners, teaching personnel, and non-teaching personnel across the schools division executed the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol and conducted an orderly evacuation to designated safe assembly areas. The activation of School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SDRRM) Teams further assessed school preparedness, validated emergency response mechanisms, and strengthened coordination during emergency situations.

By promoting safety, inclusivity, and child protection, SDOIN continues to foster a culture of preparedness and resilience, ensuring that every school remains a safe and disaster-resilient learning environment for every Ilocano learner.
