𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 | LCNHS Prepares Students through Earthquake Drill

Legazpi City National High School held its 1st Quarter Simultaneous Earthquake Drill in both the Main and Annex campus on Thursday, March 12, 2026 to prepare its students in evacuating after an earthquake ever occurs.

Students were guided by their teachers and staff personnel to their designated open areas and urged them to "Duck, Cover, and Hold" while moving.

The drill aimed to make its students active in protecting themselves and others during the natural disaster while being able to recover quickly from it.

A woman exists as a complete orbit: she possesses the primal spark to create, the soulful grace to nurture, and the tactical brilliance to transform her reality. This month, we are documenting a legacy of progress that wasn't a gift of circumstance, but a victory of character.

This is more than a simple celebration; it is the official acknowledgment of a potency that was never bestowed by others, because it was always there. It is a firm refusal to be diminished by labels like "merely" or "simply," and a proud acceptance of a commanding identity. To echo the sentiment, "𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙚 𝙠𝙖, 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜"—you are a woman: an architect of change, a leader through storms, and a force of nature. You are the protagonist of your own journey, never a secondary character.

Let us be the women whose names are whispered with respect in boardrooms and halls of power long before we arrive. And as we step through those thresholds, let us be the ones who secure the way for the next generation watching from the sidelines. Your impact is not a fleeting mention; it is the definitive substance of the story. 🌸👠
