DepEd Memorandum stated that all public and private schools and DepEd offices in full cooperation with
the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) should undertake a Simultaneous
National School-Based Earthquake Drill.  The drill started with the ceremonial pressing of the
button where the students together with their teachers followed strictly the three important things
during an earthquake. These were the Ducking, Covering and Holding, Watching out for falling objects,
and Keeping calm and avoiding panic. Before the actual drills, Mr. Rommel Desuyo ,the School DRR
Coordinator took an orientation during the flag ceremony. He disseminated the information about the
