Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Bataan, in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) - Abucay, conducts the annual fire drill today, September 11, 2025, held at the Colegioโ€™s gymbahan to ensure safety and preparedness as well as awareness of students, staff, and faculty in case of emergencies.

With regard to this, FO1 Angelo Macaspac of BFP-Abucay guides the students and staff on how to use fire extinguishers properly with step-by-step procedures. Both students and staff were also given the opportunity to handle the equipment, which reinforces the correct way to control small fires. A demonstration of an injured person during a potential fire drill is taught to students and staff alike.

When asked about the importance of annual fire drills, FO1 Angelo Macaspac stated that since fire emergencies do not frequently happen, it is better to prepare for them annually so when we are faced with the actual situation, it will be like โ€˜muscle memoryโ€™ to people. When practiced yearly, the knowledge will not be taken away from people easily. This does not only apply to fire emergencies but natural calamities as well.

During the day, Letranites was faced with the challenge of using what theyโ€™ve been taught in a real-life event as the campus was hit with an actual earthquake around 3 in the afternoon. According to PHIVOLCS, waves of a magnitude of 4.8 originating from Zambales were felt within the campus itself. Students and staff quickly uses their earthquake protocol to ensure a smooth exit outside the campus. Staff of the Colegio also thoroughly checks if there are any students who were left behind. No casualty or injury was reported in the process of evacuating.

Letran-Bataan and BFP-Abucay reaffirm their commitment to creating a culture of safety and readiness among the community that can be used in real life.

This past September 8, 2025, Monday, at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Bataanโ€™s gymbahan, the whole campus gathered to celebrate the Eucharistic Celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Rev. Fr. Reynor Munsayac, O.P., presided over the Eucharistic Celebration, further strengthening the bond between the Letranites and the Blessed Virgin Mary on her day of birth. Following the mass was the Arriba Address, hosted by Asst. Prof. Norady M. Pere, PhD, addresing the communication gap of the students during the era of the pandemic and the accessible support of the student services present in the Colegio. After the insightful discussion with Ms. Pere, certificates were given to multiple members of the Letran - Bataan Family for the โ€œTulong Letranista Certificationsโ€.

Rev. Fr. Raymund Fernando P. Jose, O.P. was set to address the whole campus as well. Before talking about the future and the goals of the Colegio for the foreseeable future, Rev. Fr. Jose reported the accomplishments of the past academic year, mentioning the student achievements during the session. He then discussed the Colegio's plans to make the campus a better place, not just for the students and staff, but also the environment. Sustainability Initiatives in response to Climate Change and Environmental Concerns, establishing the Sustainability: Letran as a Green Campus initiative, and Plastic-Free Day: Bring your own tumblers and bento boxes, to name a few.

Rev. Fr. Jose also went on to address the goals the campus has set with regard to the students with some of the priorities or projects for the A.Y. of 2025-2026 by establishing "Academic Excellence: Signature Pedagogy in Sync", Reviewing and Revising the Curriculum of IBED and Collegiate Department, and Integrated Robotics that is geared to automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. Along with some that focuses on the extracurricular side of the campus with the plan of bringing back the sports program for the Colegio, as some of the things that were discussed during the goals for this academic year.

With the event coming to a close, and now almost a month in since the start of classes for the Collegiate Department, both students and staff of Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Bataan gear up for what's ahead of the A.Y. 2025-2026.
