𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 | Safety First : Student Leaders Take Active Role in Strengthen Emergency Readiness in Disaster Preparedness and Safety Symposium

As of July 24, 2026, Student leaders of Cuartero National High School gathered today for a Disaster Preparedness and Safety Symposium aimed at strengthening their awareness and preparedness in responding to emergencies and promoting a safer school environment.

The activity officially started with the attendance participants, followed by an opening program that included a prayer, welcome remarks, and the introduction of the guest speakers.

The first session discussed by the MDRRMO CERO representative focused on Disaster Preparedness and Awareness, where participants learned about the different hazards that may affect the community, the importance of disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, and the proper actions to take before, during, and after disasters. The discussion emphasized that being prepared can save lives and help communities recover more effectively from emergencies.

Representatives from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) then conducted an engaging lecture on Basic Fire Safety and Fire Suppression. They discussed the common causes of fires, ways to prevent them, different fire classifications, and the proper use of fire extinguishers through the PASS technique. The session reminded everyone that fire safety begins with awareness and responsible action.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) also led a discussion on Lockdown Drill Orientation, explaining the purpose of lockdown procedures, emergency alert signals, and the responsibilities of both students and teachers during security-related emergencies. Participants were encouraged to stay calm, follow instructions, and prioritize safety whenever such situations arise.

The symposium was attended by the officers of the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG), Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O), and Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD), along with the five homeroom officers from every section in Grades 7 to 12. As student leaders, they are expected to share the knowledge they gained and help promote safety and preparedness within their respective organizations and classrooms.

The program concluded with an inspiring message from Principal IV, Ms. Lacbanes, who took the opportunity to discuss the current concerns affecting the school and its students. She encouraged everyone to remain responsible, make wise decisions, and support one another in creating a positive and respectful school environment. Her words served as a reminder that leadership is not only about holding a position but also about setting a good example for others.

The Disaster Preparedness and Safety Symposium served as a valuable learning experience, equipping student leaders with practical knowledge and a greater sense of responsibility. Through activities like this, Cuartero National High School continues to foster a culture of preparedness, resilience, and student leadership.

𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 | DepEd Enforces Ban on Mobile Phones During Class Hours

The Department of Education (DepEd) has reiterated its policy prohibiting the use of mobile phones and other portable electronic devices during class hours to minimize distractions and promote a safe and focused learning environment.

Under DepEd Memorandum No. DM-OUOPS-2026-04-1660, learners and school personnel are strictly prohibited from using mobile phones and similar devices for non-academic purposes during instructional hours. The ban covers activities such as accessing social media, playing online games, creating digital content, and vlogging unless these are required for lessons or authorized school activities.

The memorandum aligns with DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026, or the Guidelines on Ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment, which aims to strengthen discipline and maintain learner engagement in the classroom.

Exceptions to the policy are allowed when gadgets are needed to access online learning platforms, support educational activities, or facilitate communication during emergencies.

Meanwhile, DepEd directed regional directors, schools division superintendents, and school heads to ensure the strict implementation of the policy in all public schools.

The department said the measure seeks to reduce classroom distractions and foster a conducive learning environment where students can focus on instruction and meaningful learning experiences.

𝗢𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 | A Nation Shaken by Crisis

An earthquake shakes the ground and leaves destruction behind. In the same way, the Philippines has recently been shaken by the Mindanao earthquake, the school shooting in Tacloban, and the conflict in the Senate.

The government, schools, and other organizations must act now to protect people and prevent these tragedies from happening again.

Firstly, the Mindanao earthquake showed how one disaster can shake both communities and lives. According to Reuters, the 7.8-magnitude earthquake left at least 32 people dead and dozens of people injured, proving the need for better disaster preparedness.

Secondly, the school shooting in Tacloban shook students, families, and communities with fear. According to GMA News, the incident left 3 people dead and 5 injured, showing the need for stricter school safety and better protection for learners.

Moreover, the Senate was also shaken by the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. According to Philstar, the trial was expected to last seven to eight months, showing how political conflict can keep the country in tension and weaken public trust in its leaders.

An earthquake is not only something felt under our feet, it can also describe the fear, chaos, and instability caused by violence and political conflict. The recent events in the Philippines prove that our nation is being shaken in many ways, and strong action is needed before the damage becomes worse.

When the nation is shaken, action must be stronger than fear.

𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 | A Mortal’s Love that Transcends

“𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡, 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙮”— from The Song of Achilles

Gods grant empires.
They gift timeless youth,
bend the wind, silence the sea,
and shift the stars.

Yet not one can command a soul to stay.

So flowers bloom each spring.
Stars watch the dark.
Temples rise.
All to fight oblivion.

Because even gods, before loss,
can only offer memory.

But a mortal planted no seeds.
He built no shrines, begged no heavens.
He simply wore the armor of the fallen,
and let his own heart become the monument.

Since then, his name never walked alone.
To speak of him is to exhale another—

Patroclus.

History itself learned to mourn,
refusing to sever what death tore apart.

In the end,
the mortal won.

The gods made stars and kingdoms.
But a man taught the universe a miracle heaven could not forge:

A love so terrible and vast, it denies the grave its solitude,
Refusing to be named, or remembered,
apart.

𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘴: 𝘈𝘬𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘻 (𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢)
