The AMAYA SCHOOL OF HOME INDUSTRIES (ASHI) welcomed representatives from the Philippine National Police (PNP) Tanza and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) to discuss school safety, emergency preparedness, and measures to protect students, teachers, parents, and other school personnel.
The school administration, led by School Principal Mrs. Norielyn C. Narciso, represented by Assistant School Principal Mrs. Susana R. Fojas, received the delegation headed by Police Lieutenant Colonel Chester Noel R. Borlongan, Chief of Police of PNP Tanza. Also present was Major Marlon Escalante, Deputy Chief of Police, along with Fire Officer II Jhomar E. Vidallo of the Bureau of Fire Protection.
During the discussion, Borlongan addressed the recent incident in Mindanao involving violence reportedly connected to students and emphasized the need for schools and communities to remain vigilant while strengthening security measures.
He stressed that ensuring the safety of students and school personnel is a shared responsibility among parents, teachers, the government, and law enforcement agencies.
“The maintenance of security is a joint responsibility of the parents, teachers, and the government, including the PNP,” Borlongan said.
He urged students, teachers, and parents to remain observant and immediately report suspicious behavior or activities to the appropriate authorities.
Borlongan also discussed the proposed development of a school alert and rapid response system designed to facilitate faster police response during emergencies. The conceptualized system may include a push-button feature that can immediately notify police officers on duty when assistance is needed. The system is intended not only for students but also for parents, teachers, and other school personnel.
Although the Mindanao incident was considered an isolated case, Borlongan emphasized that this should not prevent schools from preparing for possible threats. He reiterated the importance of strengthening security measures to protect students, teachers, and other members of the school community.
He likewise encouraged students to report unusual changes in the behavior of their classmates to school authorities or other appropriate personnel. According to Borlongan, vigilance and early reporting can help authorities respond to potential threats before they escalate.
The police official also discussed previous cases involving online threats and misinformation directed at schools. He said that some of these cases were eventually resolved through the efforts of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, which investigated individuals allegedly responsible for spreading fake news and threats online.
Borlongan reminded students that using anonymous accounts does not necessarily shield individuals from accountability for unlawful online activities. He warned students against sharing unverified information and encouraged them to report threatening messages to authorities immediately.
Meanwhile, Major Marlon Escalante, Deputy Chief of Police, shared reminders with students on how to maintain their safety both inside and outside the school premises. He emphasized the importance of following safety measures and remaining alert in different situations.
For his part, FO2 Jhomar E. Vidallo of the BFP Tanza discussed safety protocols that students and school personnel can observe in case of fire and other unforeseen emergencies. His discussion highlighted the importance of preparedness, proper response, and cooperation during emergency situations.
Representing the parents and the school community, SPTA President Deogracias De Guzman also encouraged students to maintain open communication with their parents. He reminded learners that sharing their concerns and experiences with their families can help parents and school authorities provide timely guidance and support.
The activity underscored the importance of collaboration among the school, parents, police, fire authorities, and the wider community in maintaining a safe and secure learning environment.
Through continued vigilance, responsible communication, and preparedness, ASHI aims to strengthen its efforts in ensuring the safety and well-being of every member of the school community.

The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Tanza reaffirmed its continuing commitment to promoting school safety, discipline, and student welfare as Mayor Archanengelo SM Matro visited the Amaya School of Home Industries (ASHI) on August 13, 2026.
During his visit, Mayor Matro emphasized that maintaining peace, order, and safety in schools remains one of his administration’s priorities. He assured the school community that the municipal government would continue to support programs and initiatives that advance the welfare of learners across the municipality of Tanza.
More than a courtesy visit, the mayor’s presence underscored the importance of a strong partnership between the local government and the education sector. He expressed his intention to convene the Schools Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) in Tanza to further strengthen collaboration among schools, parents, and the local government.
For Mayor Matro, building a disciplined and responsible community begins at home.
He stressed that discipline must first be nurtured within every household, while teachers and schools serve as partners in reinforcing the values and behavior expected of learners. Such an approach, he noted, requires closer cooperation among parents, teachers, school administrators, and the local government.
The ASHI administration warmly welcomed Mayor Matro and his delegation. The school community, led by Mrs. Norielyn C. Narciso, School Principal IV, together with Mrs. Susana Fojas, Assistant Principal, head teachers, teachers, non-teaching personnel, stakeholders, and representatives from Barangay Sahud-Ulan, expressed their appreciation for the continued support of the municipal government.
Adding significance to the visit was a substantial contribution from the LGU Tanza—the provision of approximately 500 armchairs for ASHI learners. The much-needed school furniture is expected to provide students with more comfortable and appropriate learning spaces while helping address the school’s classroom needs.
The donation also reflects the LGU’s continuing efforts to complement the initiatives of schools in providing a conducive environment for learning. Beyond infrastructure and material assistance, the partnership highlights the shared responsibility of government and the education community in ensuring that learners are safe, supported, and given opportunities to thrive.
As ASHI continues to serve the learners of Tanza, the visit of Mayor Matro reinforces a message that resonates beyond the school grounds: education is a shared responsibility, and the success and safety of every learner require a community that works together.
With the continued assistance of the LGU Tanza, ASHI and its stakeholders look forward to stronger collaboration, greater support for learners, and sustained efforts toward building safer, more disciplined, and more learner-centered schools in the municipality.

Tanza PNP Highlights Juvenile Justice, Cyber Safety in ASHI Security Forum
In a unified effort to strengthen campus safety and promote peace and order, the Amaya School of Home Industries (ASHI), under the leadership of School Principal IV Mrs. Norielyn C. Narciso, forged a stronger partnership with the Tanza Municipal Police Station, headed by Police Lieutenant Colonel Chester Noel Borlongan, Tanza PNP chief of Police, through an orientation and dialogue focused on protecting learners and fostering a safer school environment.
The meeting highlighted the crucial role of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in ensuring the security of students amid growing concerns over incidents involving minors in schools, not only in Tanza but also in other parts of the country. During his presentation, Lt. Col. Borlongan emphasized that maintaining peace and order requires close collaboration among schools, parents, law enforcement agencies, and the community.
Borlongan provided teachers with practical guidance on how they can assist in safeguarding students by recognizing early warning signs of risky behavior, reporting incidents promptly, and working closely with law enforcement authorities whenever necessary. He stressed that teachers serve as frontline partners in preventing violence, bullying, and other threats that may endanger learners.
A significant part of the discussion focused on the Juvenile Justice and Welfare System, explaining how minors who commit offenses are held accountable under Philippine laws while ensuring that their rights and rehabilitation remain protected. Borlongan clarified common misconceptions regarding the legal responsibilities of children in conflict with the law, helping educators better understand the proper legal processes.
To further strengthen student protection, the Tanza PNP announced its commitment to develop collaborative programs with the Department of Education aimed at promoting crime prevention, student awareness, and school safety initiatives.
"We will do our part and capabilities to have police visibility in every school in Tanza," Borlongan assured participants.
In connection with recent untoward incidents affecting schools, the Tanza PNP also underscored its intensified efforts against individuals who spread false information and threats through social media. Borlongan revealed that, with the assistance of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, authorities are actively tracing anonymous accounts responsible for disseminating alarming messages online. Those proven to have violated cybercrime laws will face appropriate legal action.
The police chief likewise warned that authorities will strictly enforce laws against individuals found carrying deadly weapons, reiterating that such violations will not be tolerated as part of the municipality's campaign to maintain peace and order in schools and surrounding communities.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Narciso shared the school's continuing efforts to establish comprehensive school policies anchored on DepEd Order No. 6, s. 2026. The proposed policies include appropriate disciplinary measures, including sanctions and possible expulsion for students found guilty of serious offenses and criminal acts, while ensuring due process is observed.
She added that the policy remains under review and refinement through consultations with various stakeholders, including the School Parents-Teachers Association (SPTA) led by Mr. Deogracias De Guzman, DepEd officials, the Supreme Student Government (SSG), faculty and staff associations, and other partner organizations before its final implementation.
The collaborative initiative also gained strong support from various civic and community organizations. Representatives from the Eagles Group, Guardians, the SPTA, and the Local Government Unit of Tanza, particularly the Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Desk of Barangay Sahud-Ulan, pledged their commitment to work alongside the school and the police in creating a safer learning environment for all students.
The orientation concluded with teachers expressing appreciation for the valuable legal knowledge and practical guidance shared by Lt. Col. Borlongan. The strengthened partnership between the Tanza PNP and ASHI reflects a shared commitment to preserving peace and order, protecting learners from emerging threats, and ensuring that every student can study in a secure, disciplined, and supportive educational environment.

Honoring 2016 Arbitral Award,
ASHI Joins Nationwide Simultaneous Flag-Raising Ceremony
The Amaya School of Home Industries (ASHI) demonstrated its commitment to patriotism, national unity, and responsible citizenship as students, teachers, school administrators, and non-teaching personnel participated in the nationwide Simultaneous Flag-Raising Ceremony held on Monday, July 6.
The activity was conducted in response to the call of the National Security Council (NSC) and the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS), which encouraged government agencies, including the Department of Education (DepEd), to participate in the commemorative event in preparation for the 10th anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award on July 12.
In a memorandum dated July 1, 2026, addressed to Education Secretary Jose Edgardo M. Angara, the NSC requested the issuance of a directive enjoining all DepEd regional and field offices, attached agencies, bureaus, and operating units to join the simultaneous flag ceremony.
The initiative aims to highlight the significance of the landmark 2016 Arbitral Award and reaffirm the Philippine government's commitment to upholding the rule of law, national sovereignty, sovereign rights, jurisdiction, and lawful maritime entitlements.
Answering this national call, the entire ASHI community gathered for the ceremony with a shared sense of patriotism and civic responsibility. The program featured the regular flag-raising rites, followed by the dissemination of the NTF-WPS Statement, emphasizing the importance of preserving the country's sovereignty and promoting awareness of the Philippines' maritime rights among the youth.
Highlighting the significance of the occasion, School Principal IV, Mrs. Norielyn C. Narciso, delivered an inspiring message on the importance of patriotism and the vital role of education in shaping responsible Filipino citizens. She emphasized that genuine patriotism begins with understanding and appreciating the nation's history, respecting its sovereignty, and fulfilling one's civic responsibilities.
"Patriotism is more than expressing love for our country through words; it is reflected in our daily actions, respect for our national symbols, adherence to the rule of law, and our commitment to becoming responsible citizens. As educators and learners, we have the responsibility to preserve the truth of our history and to instill in future generations the values of unity, integrity, and love for the Philippines," Mrs. Narciso said.
She further encouraged the learners to remain informed about national issues, uphold democratic ideals, and become active contributors to nation-building through discipline, excellence, and service to the community.
To further deepen the participants' understanding of the commemoration, the school also presented an audio-visual presentation (AVP) highlighting the Philippines' peaceful and lawful pursuit of its sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea. The video traced the country's legal journey before the Permanent Court of Arbitration, underscoring the significance of the 2016 Arbitral Award and reaffirming the nation's continued advocacy for peace, international law, and the protection of its maritime entitlements. The presentation provided students and personnel with a broader appreciation of the country's efforts to safeguard its territorial integrity through diplomatic and legal means.
School officials underscored that the activity served not only as a ceremonial observance but also as an educational opportunity to deepen students' understanding of national issues and strengthen their appreciation of Philippine history, territorial integrity, democratic values, and responsible citizenship.
The participation of ASHI reflects the Department of Education's commitment to nurturing informed, responsible, and patriotic learners who actively contribute to nation-building. Through meaningful commemorative activities such as the simultaneous flag-raising ceremony, the school continues to instill in its learners the values of unity, respect for the rule of law, and love of country.
As the nation prepares to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award on July 12, the Amaya School of Home Industries stands united with schools and government institutions across the country in reaffirming its support for national sovereignty and the enduring principles of peace, justice, and international law, while inspiring every member of the school community to embody patriotism not only during commemorative events but in their everyday lives .
The program was made possible through the collective efforts of the Grade 12 Duterte students, led by their adviser, Ms. Evangelyn Cerera.
