READ | DILG urges LGUs to establish Safer School Zones, mobilize over 277,000 barangay tanods

Amid heightened public concern over recent incidents of violence involving learners, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed all local government units (LGUs) to establish Safer School Zones (SSZs) nationwide and mobilize 277,744 barangay tanods to help safeguard learners from crime, violence, traffic hazards, and other threats around schools.

The directive supports the Marcos administration's whole-of-nation approach to public safety and child protection by strengthening coordination among LGUs, schools, law enforcement agencies, and communities.

"Schools must remain places of learning, not places of fear. Through Safer School Zones, local governments, barangays, schools, law enforcement agencies, parents, and communities will work together to better protect every learner," the DILG said.

Under Memorandum Circular No. 2026-037, the DILG institutionalizes Safer School Zones under the government's Safer Cities and Safer Communities Initiative. Governors, city and municipal mayors, punong barangays, the Philippine National Police (PNP), and other stakeholders are directed to strengthen safety and security around public and private schools.

LGUs are directed to identify and address safety hazards and security risks within school zones, including unsafe roads and pedestrian facilities, speeding vehicles, fire and disaster risks, and other threats to learners. They are likewise encouraged to enact or strengthen local ordinances on traffic management, pedestrian safety, crime prevention, violence prevention, and public order around schools.

Barangay tanods will serve as force multipliers by maintaining a visible presence, conducting roving patrols, assisting in traffic management, providing immediate assistance, and promptly reporting or referring incidents to the proper authorities.

The directive limits barangay tanod operations to areas outside school premises, except when authorized by school authorities or when immediate lawful assistance is necessary. It likewise reiterates that barangay tanods shall remain unarmed civilian community support actors and must immediately refer incidents requiring police, fire, medical, social welfare, or other specialized response to the appropriate authorities.

Based on consolidated DILG data, 277,744 barangay tanods serving in 42,010 barangays nationwide stand ready to support the implementation of the initiative by helping maintain peace and order and enhancing public safety around school communities.

The DILG said the Safer School Zones initiative reinforces the government's commitment to keeping schools safe through coordinated public safety measures, ensuring that every learner can study in a secure and orderly environment.

MAHALAGANG PAALALA: ALAMIN ANG MGA DAPAT GAWIN KUNG MAY SCHOOL VIOLENCE (LOCKDOWN)

Walang puwang ang karahasan sa ating paaralan. Ngunit sa oras na hindi inaasahang banta sa seguridad ng lahat o school violence, mahalagang handa, kalmado, at alerto ang bawat g**o at mag-aaral upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng lahat.

Narito ang 9 na Hakbang sa Pag-Lockdown na dapat nating tandaan at isapuso:

1️⃣ Maging Alerto - Kung may nakitang away, barilan o anumang banta, agad na ipaalam sa pinakamalapit na g**o.
2️⃣ Pakinggan ang Anunsyo - Sundin agad ang anunsyo ng g**o o school personnel. Huwag magtanong. Huwag magpaloko.
3️⃣ Pumasok at Mag-Lockdown - Pumasok o manatili sa loob ng silid-aralan. Isara, at i-lock ang pinto. Harangan kung maari gamit ang mesa o upuan.
4️⃣ Manatiling Tahimik at Huwag Makialam - Manatiling tahimik. Huwag sumigaw, tumakbo, at huwag lumabas. Huwag makialam sa nangyayari sa labas.
5️⃣ Manatiling Nakatago at Lumayo sa Bintana - Lumayo sa pinto, bintana at labas ng silid. Yumuko o magtago sa ligtas na lugar.
6️⃣ Wag Gamitin ang Cellphone Maliban kung Kailangan - Huwag mag-video o mag-post. Manatiling tahimik at huwag makipag-ugnayan maliban kung inutusan ng g**o o pulis.
7️⃣ Maghintay ng Utos - Manatiling kalmado at hintayin ang karagdagang anunsyo ng g**o o mga awtoridad.
8️⃣ Ligtas na Paglabas - Kapag sinabing ligtas na, lumabas nang maayos, nakapila, at sumunod sa g**o.
9️⃣ Mag-ulat at Mag-ingat para sa Lahat - Ipaalam sa g**o ang nakita o nalaman. Tandaan, ang kaligtasan ng lahat ay responsibilidad nating lahat!

Magkasama tayo. Maging matalino. Manatiling ligtas.

Ibahagi ang impormasyong ito sa ating mga kasamahang g**o, magulang, at mga mag-aaral. Ang kahandaan ay susi sa ligtas na paaralan!
