ACCS JOINS THE 3RD QUARTER NATIONWIDE SIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DRILL (NSED) 2026

Alfonso Castañeda Central School (ACCS) actively joined the Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) together with the other schools in the lowland area of Alfonso Castañeda District.

The earthquake drill was conducted alongside the INSET (In-Service Training), bringing together teachers and school personnel in a meaningful activity that emphasized the importance of preparedness, quick response, and safety during earthquakes and other emergencies. 🦺📢

Adding valuable support to the activity were personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (MDRRM), who participated in and evaluated the conduct of the drill. Their presence and guidance helped strengthen the schools’ awareness and readiness in responding to possible disasters.

🤝 The simultaneous participation of the different schools demonstrated the power of unity and collaboration in building safer and more disaster-resilient school communities.

At ACCS, we believe that preparedness is everyone's responsibility. Every drill is an opportunity to learn, practice, and be ready—not only for an earthquake drill, but for the safety of our learners, teachers, and the entire community.

Because when disaster strikes, being prepared can save lives. ❤️

ACCS sa DSPC 2026

Sa bawat salitang binabasa, sinusuri, at itinatama, may isang batang nangangarap na balang-araw ay maging mahusay na mamamahayag. Sa likod ng bawat papel na puno ng marka at bawat minutong ginugol sa pagsasanay, naroon ang tiyaga, kaba, at determinasyong magtagumpay.

Ganito ang naging kuwento ng mga batang mamamahayag ng Alfonso Castaneda Central School (ACCS) nang kanilang iharap ang kanilang mga talento sa Division School Press Conference (DSPC) na ginanap noong Setyembre 2–3, 2028 sa Aritao Central School.

Bitbit ang kanilang mga natutuhan at baon ang tiwala sa sarili, nakipagsabayan ang mga mag-aaral ng ACCS sa mga kalahok mula sa iba’t ibang paaralan sa distrito. Bawat kategorya ay naging pagkakataon upang maipakita nila ang kanilang husay, tapang, at pagmamahal sa pamamahayag.

Isa sa mga nag-iwan ng marka sa paligsahan si Eunice Kate Abaloso, kinatawan ng Alfonso Castañeda Central School sa Copyreading and Headline writing – Elementary na nakamit ang ikapitong pwesto sa ilalim ng pagsasanay at paggabay ng kanyang Coach Febron P. Banggawan.

Samantala, hindi lamang ang mga nag-uwi ng ranggo ang maituturing na matagumpay. Ang bawat batang humarap sa paligsahan ay may sariling tagumpay na dapat ipagmalaki.

Maaaring walang medalya o pwesto sa kanilang kamay, ngunit dala nila ang isang bagay na hindi kayang tumbasan ng anumang tropeo—ang lakas ng loob na sumubok.

Pagpapatunay na ang DSPC ay hindi lamang naging paligsahan, kundi isang karanasang nagturo sa mga bata na ang pagkatalo ay hindi katapusan at ang tagumpay ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa ranggo.

Sa likod naman ng bawat batang mamamahayag ay ang mga gurong patuloy na gumagabay. Sina Geraldine A. Arcibal, Lucky Flora May J. Valencia, Rachel C. Domingo, at Febron P. Banggawan na naglaan ng kanilang oras, lakas, at dedikasyon, at suporta ng punong-guro ng paaralan, G. Romeo G. Arcibal.

Sa pagtatapos ng DSPC 2026, maaaring iba-iba ang naging resulta ng bawat kalahok, ngunit iisa ang kanilang iniuwi—isang karanasang magpapatuloy sa paghubog sa kanila bilang mga batang mamamahayag.

Dahil sa pamamahayag, hindi lamang salita ang binubuo. Binubuo rin ang tapang, karakter, at pangarap.

At sa bawat batang ACCS na patuloy na nagsusulat, nagbabasa, nagsasanay, at nangangarap, isang kuwento ang unti-unting nabubuo—isang kuwento ng pagsisikap na balang-araw ay sila rin ang magsusulat.
