II. DRILL SCENARIO

On the 22nd morning of June before the conduct of the earthquake drill
after the flag ceremony, President Roxas West Elementary School held a
short programme starting with a prayer, opening remarks by Mrs. Erda F.
Buenafe Principal II, followed by an energizer and the Orientation Proper by
the Bureau of Fire Protection Headed by Arcenio Retuma and Company
together with some Philippine National Police. Before the actual drill they
undertook an orientation to the teachers and pupils. They disseminated the
information about the occurrence of earthquake as well as the needs to carry
out a drill to enhance the pupils awareness on the safety measures before,
during and after the said disaster. They made-mentioned of the guidelines
for the drills and also pointed out the possible evacuation area in the school.
And 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.
The drill started with the awful sound blurted of a siren as a signal that
the earth is shaking stronger and stronger. Everybody sat down and docked
themselves in the ground. After a while when the sound is ended, the pupils
and parents and teachers went to the evacuation area of the school following
the evacuation route made by the school. After that, the teacher started
counting off if there pupils were complete. All shouted complete aside from
the Grade 4 who proclaimed that one was missing and so the BFP made a
search and rescue operation. It ended up with a rescued pupil safe and so
another drill was done successfully.
The activity was dramatically done through the teachers counting off
there pupils whether complete or not. All shouted complete aside from the
Grade 4 who proclaimed that one was missing and so the BFP made a search
and rescue operation. It ended up with a rescued pupil safe and so another
drill was done successfully. Concluded with the BFP mass bathing with their
fire hose.
