Mongolbongol National High School Conducts National Simultaneous School Safety Drill on Active Attack Incidents

Mongolbongol National High School strengthened its emergency preparedness as it participated in the National Simultaneous School Safety Drill on Active Attack Incidents on September 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.

The activity facilitated with the support of San Vicente - Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, San Vicente Pulis, Bureau of Fire Protection - San Vicente Fire Station, and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) San Vicente aimed to immerse learners, teachers, non-teaching personnel, and school administrators in proper coordination and safety protocols during a campus emergency.

The drill unfolded through a series of organized phases designed to develop preparedness, operational confidence, coordinated response, and recovery.

Phase 1: Drill Initiation and Alarm

The drill began with the Drill Initiation and Alarm, signaling the start of the simulated emergency. Learners and school personnel immediately followed established safety procedures and remained alert to instructions from designated responders.

This was followed by the Emergency Dispatch Test, which focused on testing the communication and notification procedures between the school and emergency response agencies. The activity emphasized the importance of timely communication and coordination when responding to an emergency.

Phase 2: Inner Ring Defense and Silent Concealment

During the second phase, participants practiced Inner Ring Defense, reinforcing the importance of securing areas and protecting individuals within the school premises.

The Silent Concealment Phase followed, where learners and personnel practiced remaining quiet, calm, and concealed while waiting for further instructions. The exercise sought to develop discipline and muscle memory through proper orientation rather than fear.

Phase 3:

Orderly Exit
The third phase focused on an Orderly Exit, where participants followed designated procedures for safely leaving the affected area. Emphasis was placed on maintaining order, following instructions, and avoiding panic during movement.The activity demonstrated that an organized response is essential in reducing confusion and ensuring the safety of everyone on campus.

Post-Drill Recovery
After the simulated emergency, the school proceeded with the Post-Drill Recovery, beginning with an Accountability Check. Participants were accounted for to ensure that learners and personnel were safely identified following the exercise.

The activity also highlighted the importance of Psychosocial Support after an emergency. School stakeholders were reminded that providing reassurance, emotional support, and a safe environment is an important part of disaster recovery.

Among the designated control group and support personnel were Engr. Reinier M. Gabuna, Lead Coordinator; PMsg. Jerry G. Navaroza, Team Leader of the PNP Tactical Response; police first responders and support personnel; FO2 Ryan C. Biago, Safety Officer; members of the MDRRMO Emergency Response Team and DILG overseer and MNHS DRRM coordinator, Mr. Jimboy Reyes.

Their presence underscored the importance of strong coordination between the school, local government, and national government agencies in responding to campus emergencies.

More than a routine simulation, the activity served as a reminder that preparedness, discipline, communication, and teamwork can save lives. Through continuous drills and proper orientation, Mongolbongol National High School continues to strengthen its culture of safety and readiness for unexpected emergencies.

Hindi rin magiging ganap ang pagdiriwang kung wala ang suporta at pakikiisa ng mga g**o, mag-aaral, magulang, at iba pang katuwang ng paaralan. Sa bawat pagtatanghal, paligsahan, sigawan ng suporta, at ngiti ng mga kalahok, napatunayan na ang Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lamang isang taunang pagdiriwang.

Ito ay isang pagkakataon upang muling buhayin ang pagmamahal sa sariling wika, pahalagahan ang mayamang kulturang Pilipino, at ipakita na sa kabila ng pagbabago ng panahon, ang wikang Filipino ay patuloy na nag-uugnay sa bawat Pilipino bilang isang bansa at isang lahi.

Sa pagtatapos ng isang linggong selebrasyon, nanatili ang isang mahalagang mensahe: Buhay ang wikang Filipino sapagkat buhay ang pusong Pilipino.

Wika, Kultura, at Talento: Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2026, Pinasigla sa Paaralan

Sa bawat salitang binibigkas, awiting inaawit, larong nilalaro, at kaugaliang ipinagmamalaki, muling nabubuhay ang kulay at yaman ng kulturang Pilipino. Sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2026, naghahanda ang paaralan ng isang linggong pagdiriwang na magbibigay-daan upang maipamalas ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang talento, pagkamalikhain, at pagpapahalaga sa wikang Filipino at kulturang bayan.

Alinsunod sa Division Memorandum No. 390, s. 2026 ng Schools Division of Northern Samar, isasagawa ang mga gawaing pang-Buwan ng Wika sa temang “Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulong sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.” Layunin nitong higit na mapalawak ang pagpapahalaga sa wikang Filipino habang ginagamit ang makabagong teknolohiya bilang katuwang sa pagkatuto at pananaliksik.

Isang Makulay na Pagsisimula

Pormal na sisimulan ang selebrasyon ngayong Lunes,Agosto 17 matapos ang Flag Ceremony. Sa halip na Zumba, isang maikling programa ang inihanda upang bigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng wika at kultura.

Pangungunahan ni Ma'am Retch ang Opening Remarks, na susundan ng intermission number mula sa Grade 10. Tampok din sa programa ang Panunumpa ng mga Elected Officers ng Filipino Club, gayundin ang Spoken Poetry ng Grade 12.

Isang Linggong Pagpapamalas ng Talento

Hindi lamang sa entablado iikot ang pagdiriwang. Bawat baitang ay bibigyan ng pagkakataong ipakita ang kanilang husay sa iba't ibang larangan.

Sa Lunes, tampok ang Spoken Poetry ng Grade 12. Susundan ito ng Drama ng Grade 10 sa Martes, Sabayang Pagbigkas ng Grade 9 sa Miyerkules, at Dula at Sabayang Pagbigkas ng Grade 8 sa Huwebes. Sa Biyernes naman, bibigyang-buhay ng Grade 7 ang kulturang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng Folk Song.

Bukod sa mga pagtatanghal, magkakaroon din ng mga aktibidad tuwing hapon, alas-4:20, sa plaza. Sa Lunes ay susubukin ang kaalaman ng mga kalahok sa Quiz Bee, na pangangasiwaan nina Ma'am Jelyn at Ma'am Retch. Sa Martes naman ay muling bubuhayin ang mga tradisyunal na Katutubong Laro, sa pangunguna nina Sir Kim at Ma'am Anarose.

Sa Miyerkules, bibigyang-pansin ang kagandahan ng kulturang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng Pagpili ng Katutubong Kasuotan, na pangangasiwaan nina Ma'am Johanna at Ma'am Myra. Sa Huwebes naman ay pagkakataon para sa mga mag-aaral na maipamalas ang husay sa pagsasalita sa Talumpati, sa pangunguna ni Ma'am Hannah.

Kultura sa Entablado, Pagmamalaki sa Puso

Higit pa sa mga paligsahan at pagtatanghal, layunin ng mga gawaing ito na gawing buhay na karanasan para sa mga mag-aaral ang wikang Filipino at kulturang Pilipino. Sa pamamagitan ng tula, dula, awit, laro, kasuotan, at talumpati, nagkakaroon sila ng pagkakataong hindi lamang matuto tungkol sa kultura kundi maging bahagi mismo ng pagpapanatili nito.

Samantala, ang Grade 11 ay nakatakdang maghandog ng Balagtasan sa culminating activity—isang pagtatanghal na magbibigay-buhay sa tradisyon ng masining at makabuluhang pagtatalo gamit ang wikang Filipino.

Pagdiriwang na May Pagkilala

Sa pagtatapos ng linggong pagdiriwang, magkakaroon ng Culmination Program sa Biyernes, alas-4:00 ng hapon. Dito pagsasama-samahin ang mga natatanging pagtatanghal at gawain na isinagawa sa buong linggo. Bibigyang-parangal din ang mga mag-aaral na magwawagi sa iba't ibang paligsahan.

Sa huli, ang Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lamang pagdiriwang ng isang asignatura o isang linggong puno ng paligsahan. Ito ay paalala na ang wika ay bahagi ng ating pagkakakilanlan—isang tulay na nag-uugnay sa kasaysayan, kultura, teknolohiya, at sa susunod na henerasyon.

Sa bawat tulang binibigkas, awiting inaawit, dulang itinatanghal, at kulturang ipinagmamalaki, patuloy na umaalingawngaw ang isang mensahe: ang wikang Filipino ay buhay, umuunlad, at patuloy na nagbubuklod sa sambayanang Pilipino.

Remnants of calmness were barely seen inside Mongolbongol National High School as the presence of police officers in uniform, hurried footsteps, and shouted instructions from the microphone unfolded across the campus.

On July 9, the San Vicente Municipal Police Station conducted a Simulation Exercise as part of OPLAN Balik-Eskwela 2026–2027 to strengthen school preparedness and emergency response.

The activity was led by Police Corporal Harold Kevin Pasco, together with police personnel and emergency responders. Teachers, students, and responders participated in a role-play scenario that simulated an active shooter incident inside the school premises.

Almost immediately after the introduction of the program concluded, the faces of the students tensed up as the role-play commenced. The responders' swift movements and coordinated actions made the simulation appear as though they were responding to an actual emergency. The exercise included police response procedures, the evacuation of students and teachers, the securing of safe areas, and the provision of first aid to simulated casualties.

According to the organizers, the simulation aimed to improve coordination among the school administration, the Philippine National Police, and other concerned agencies in ensuring a safe learning environment during the opening of classes.

As the drill came to its conclusion, the campus gradually returned to its usual atmosphere. Participants were reminded that preparedness and cooperation remain essential in keeping schools safe.
