Legarda urges DRR practices in schools, hails ASEAN winner
on disaster preparedness

Senator Loren Legarda today urged all schools in the country to institutionalize disaster preparedness measures to ensure the safety of children in the event natural hazards occur.

Legarda, the United Nations Regional Champion for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation for Asia-Pacific, made the statement as she lauded the Iliranan Elementary School in San Carlos, Negros Occidental for winning second place in the 2012 Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) - Japan Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Award. There were 17 other school contenders from the Philippines.

"It is very reassuring to see that learning institutions, schoolchildren and our youth are becoming directly involved in efforts to make our communities safe from disasters. Institutionalizing disaster preparedness practices in our schools is crucial in making every community disaster-resilient and also because children are most vulnerable to disasters," she stressed.

The Iliranan Elementary School was chosen as one of the winners for their Iliranan Disaster Education Programme (IDEP) and School and Community Always Prepared and Equipped for Disaster (SCAPED). Earlier, the same school was also bestowed the ASEAN Eco-Friendly Schools Award, a recognition given to learning institutions that promote environmentally-sustainable policies.

"I encourage all schools and the whole education sector to give due focus in making our schools safe from all kinds of hazards. Schools are critical public infrastructures that serve as second home to our children and emergency refuge in times of disaster. Aside from ensuring safe physical structure, schools must have disaster preparedness and contingency plans so that students will survive and continue their schooling in the aftermath of disasters," the Senator said.

"In making our nation disaster-resilient, we not only protect our young people, but also invest in our country's future," Legarda concluded.

Phl school places 2nd in disaster response among Asean October 18, 2012

An elementary school in Negros Occidental won second place in the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (Seameo)-Japan Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Award, which gives recognition to schools that have put in place educational activities to reduce risk and loss from natural disasters.

The winning Philippine entry is Iliranan Elementary School in Barangay Codcod, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental where 439 students and 15 teachers from kindergarten to Grade 6 participated under principal Gary Magnanao, the Department of Education (DepEd) said in a statement.

The title of the school’s activity and program is Iliranan Disaster Education Program (IDEP) and School and Community Always Prepared and Equipped for Disaster (Scaped).

It bested some 70 entries from South East Asia including 17 other contenders from the Philippines in the search which carries the theme “Education for Disaster Risk Reduction.”

The honor is shared by all Philippine schools which make emergency response drill part of their school activity, Education Secretary Armin A. Luistro said.

“We have always emphasized that conducting an emergency response drill is not just a matter of compliance but an activity to be taken seriously to save lives and limbs,” Luistro said.

The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (Seameo) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan, in cooperation with UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. have sent words of congratulations to all awardees and schools that participated in the awards.

The first placer is State High School No.1 of Kungyangon, Myanmar and third place went to MIN Jejeran (Jejeran State Islamic Elementary School) of Indonesia. A Special Prize from the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. for the best Disaster Risk Reduction activity carried out in small schools of less than 150 students went to Wat Soumpouathong School, Thailand.
