Things to Prepare for a Typhoon

Be storm-ready, not sorry!

Keep your essentials ready — flashlight, power bank, and radio.
Stock up on food and water good for at least three days, and prepare your first aid kit.

Secure your home, unplug appliances, and pack a go-bag with IDs, cash, clothes, and food.
Stay safe, stay alert, and always be prepared!

Abellana National School Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) President and SSLG Federation Vice President Aerona Christine Sabello represented the school in the Learners' Convergence 2025 conducted this week in Dumaguete City.

The activity brought together student leaders from schools in the region to participate in leadership forums, breakout sessions, and youth development activities to encourage active student involvement and empowerment in education.

Sabello's involvement marks ANS's ongoing dedication to developing emerging leaders with drive, teamwork, and service.

“This experience reminded me that no act of kindness or advocacy is ever too small when it’s done with sincerity. Because in the end, leadership isn’t about being the best it’s about being there for others and helping them rise too,” expressed Sabello.

🧼 𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐇𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲 🌍

In celebration of Global Handwashing Day on October 15, 2025, the Senior High School students of Abellana National School (ANS) actively participated in the worldwide campaign promoting proper hand hygiene—despite the recent earthquake that disrupted daily routines and norms.

With the theme “Be a Handwashing Hero,” the event was spearheaded by the Department of Education to raise awareness about the importance of handwashing in preventing illness and protecting public health. For ANS students, the campaign became more than just a health reminder—it stood as a symbol of strength, discipline, and unity.

Despite the challenges brought by the disaster, students—especially those in Senior High—showed remarkable dedication by creatively demonstrating proper handwashing techniques through well-composed photos and thoughtfully edited visuals.

Today is not only about promoting good hygiene practices, but also about showcasing resilience, faith, and community spirit—proving that even in times of crisis, heroes rise with clean hands and strong hearts.
