Several tree branches were broken and fell beside the covered court located between Amas Central Elementary School and Amas National High School following strong winds on August 13, 2025. The incident raised safety concerns for both elementary and high school learners.

The situation was immediately reported to the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) on the morning of August 14 by School Principal Mr. Edgar C. Maunes and DRRM Coordinator Mr. Jonathan Cinco.

KIDAPAWAN CITY, SOCCSKSARGEN – A heartwarming story of talent and determination has emerged from the Manila Bulletin's Sketchfest, as 11-year-old Nicko Rones Nacario, a boy with mild autism, claimed the top prize in the Kiddie Category. His winning artwork, a vibrant family portrait, not only impressed the judges but also caught the attention of local officials, including Cotabato Governor Lala Mendoza and Vice Governor Ella Taray.

Nicko, a Grade 6 pupil from Amas Central Elementary School, bested a large field of young artists at the Davao leg of the competition. His piece, which depicts him and his parents in their home, resonated with this year's theme, "How Life is Better," by showcasing the importance of family. According to his mother, Nestle, Nicko's passion for drawing is a constant in his life, and she expressed immense pride in his achievement.

Following his win, Nicko received a special recognition from both the provincial governor and vice governor. He was personally interviewed by Vice Governor Ella Taray, who congratulated him on his achievement. The news of his success also reached Governor Lala Mendoza, who lauded the young artist for his talent and for bringing pride to the province of Cotabato.
The governor and vice governor's recognition highlights the local government's commitment to supporting young talent and promoting art as a vital form of expression and community pride. Nicko's victory is an inspiration to many, demonstrating that with passion and a supportive family, young artists can achieve great things.

Nicko's success is a testament to the power of art as a means of communication and self-expression. His story underscores the importance of a supportive family and community in nurturing the talents of all children, and it serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement for individuals with autism and their families.
