Nakikiisa ang Magallanes National Vocational High School sa pagsasagawa ng 2nd Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill ngayong araw ng Huwebes, ika-18 ng Hunyo, 2025, bandang alas-9:00 ng umaga.

Sa kabila ng masinsinang pagpapatupad ng DepEd ng Instructional Block upang higit na mapalakas ang oras para sa pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral, nananatiling mahalaga ang pakikilahok sa mga gawaing pangkaligtasan tulad ng National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill. Ang aktibidad na ito ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga mag-aaral, g**o, at kawani ng paaralan na maisagawa at maisapuso ang wastong paghahanda at pagtugon sa oras ng lindol. Sa pamamagitan ng regular na pagsasanay, napapalakas ang kamalayan, disiplina, at kahandaan ng buong komunidad ng paaralan upang mabawasan ang panganib at mapangalagaan ang buhay sakaling magkaroon ng tunay na sakuna. Ang ilang minutong inilaan para sa drill ay isang mahalagang puhunan para sa kaligtasan at katatagan ng bawat isa.
