By Jasmin Joyce Sevilla
“I am very happy with the satisfactory performance of the earthquake drill in our school, considering the fact that it was our first time and that at least, we are a little bit prepared now if ever such calamity strikes our country. I am also very thankful to our dearest governor and mayor because of this kind of training. This is a very helpful advantage for us to be ready in case of any earthquake occurrence in our school.”
Thus emphasized by Dr. Simeona B. Emata, school principal, after students went through the earthquake drill. Such training was conducted to exercise the preparedness of the students and the teachers, held this 17th of March. Students and teachers applied what they have learned on the recent orientation about calamity readiness.
