Preparedness. It has become the focus as the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) educated Javierians, faculty and staff about disasters during a seminar held at Saint Ezekiel Moreno (SEM) Hall, on July 27, 2026.

Opening the program was a prayer led by Mara Ilyssa Cachila. Ms. Irish P. Bernas, the academic coordinator then introduced the guest speakers from the BFP.

During the seminar, Fire Officer 1 Erwin Oncepido, Fire Officer 2 Edrail Abdo, and Fire Officer 3 Jasper A. Cruz discussed fire safety, earthquake preparedness, and the proper actions students should take during disasters.

As part of the orientation, students learned the Duck, Cover, and Hold technique. They were told to protect their heads and necks using sturdy objects, remain in position for one minute, and proceed to the evacuation area while continuing to cover their heads.

FO3 Cruz also reminded the students to remain calm during emergencies. In cases of fires, they were told to take deep breaths to stay focused, move toward the nearest secondary exit, and stay low to avoid inhaling chemicals and smoke.

Additionally, FO3 Cruz emphasized the importance of accountability after an evacuation. Students should do a headcount, so that teachers and staff would report the missing students to the chief operations team to ensure everyone is safe.

Meanwhile, BFP officers assisted the SFJC Emergency Response Team (ERT) to carry out their scenario training, to prepare them to provide support in case of real emergencies.

Following the discussion, the seminar concluded with a fire and earthquake drill that allowed students to apply the lessons they had learned.

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠, 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦: 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐎𝐧 𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞

Every school day at San Francisco Javier College (SFJC) begins and ends with a solemn tradition—the respectful hoisting and lowering of the Philippine flag. While the ceremony lasts only a few minutes, it reflects the unwavering commitment of Javierian Boy Scouts who faithfully perform this responsibility with honor, discipline, and pride.

Since October 2024, the SFJC Boy Scouts of the Philippines have consistently led the school's flag ceremonies, beginning with their participation in a scouting camping activity at Sandoval National High School. From that experience onward, the responsibility of raising and lowering the national flag became a meaningful tradition entrusted to the scouts, symbolizing their dedication to service and love for the country.

Among the scouts who faithfully carried out this duty were Meljun Capindian and Mark Daniel Handang. Their consistent presence during the daily flag ceremonies became a testament to the Scout values of responsibility, discipline, and commitment. Through their quiet yet steadfast service, they reminded the Javierian community that patriotism is expressed not only in words but also through faithful actions performed every single day.

This School Year 2026–2027, the arrival of newly enrolled Senior High School students has strengthened the ranks of the SFJC Boy Scouts with the addition of Eagle Scouts. Their presence has further reinforced the Boy Scouts of the Philippines' commitment to fostering patriotism, discipline, and servant leadership within the Javierian community. Among these Eagle Scouts are Cheve Magada and Blessie Lirazan, who now take part in the solemn responsibility of conducting the daily flag hoisting and lowering ceremonies. Joining them in this year's dedicated team are Miguel Ducejo and Mr. Cortel, whose commitment to this daily responsibility further reflects the Boy Scouts' enduring tradition of service, leadership, and love for the country.

More than a ceremonial responsibility, the daily flag ceremony serves as a reminder of every Filipino's duty to honor the nation's history, respect its heroes, and uphold the values represented by the Philippine flag. Through this simple yet meaningful act, the Javierian Boy Scouts continue to inspire their fellow students to cultivate patriotism, respect, and civic responsibility in their everyday lives.

Guided by their Scout Master, Mr. Michael Bryan Biong, the SFJC Boy Scouts continue to embody the ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law through humble service and exemplary leadership. Their steadfast dedication demonstrates that true leadership is found not only in grand achievements but also in the quiet commitment to serve with integrity and consistency.

As the Philippine flag rises with the morning sun and is respectfully lowered at the close of each school day, the Javierian Boy Scouts stand as silent guardians of a tradition that nurtures national pride. Their continued service reminds the entire SFJC community that patriotism is not merely celebrated on special occasions—it is practiced every day through discipline, responsibility, and unwavering love for God, country, and community.
