The Philippine National Police (PNP) Urdaneta City Police Station, in coordination with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and K9 officers, conducted a simulated Active Shooter Drill at Anonas National High School on August 25, 2026, to strengthen the preparedness of students, teachers, and school personnel during emergency situations.
The activity was a planned emergency simulation and not an actual active-shooter incident. The participating agencies worked with the school to demonstrate appropriate emergency response procedures and promote safety and awareness among the school community.
One of the main lessons emphasized during the simulation was the RUN–ALERT–SECURE/HIDE–INFORM procedure. Students and school personnel were guided on how to respond quickly, remain alert, secure themselves when necessary, and inform authorities during an emergency.
The drill also provided an opportunity for the school and emergency responders to practice coordination and improve their response procedures. Students were reminded to remain calm, follow instructions, and prioritize their safety during emergency situations.
Through the simulated exercise, the PNP, BFP, K9 officers, and the school community highlighted the importance of preparedness, cooperation, and awareness in maintaining a safe school environment.
The activity was conducted solely for training and preparedness purposes and did not involve an actual active-shooter situation.
