During the fire drill, the students were instructed to calmly mobilize in an orderly manner to the football field with their respective subject teachers Due to the two-yearlong pandemic, the institution has been unable to hold fire drills for its students, faculty members and staff
"I'm glad that it happened again We needed to have this fire drill for any eventualities Because of the pandemic, we're again starting from the very beginning Maganda na parating may ganito so that the students can stay aware and prepared,” said Mr John Valeria, Prefect of Student Decorum
Mr Valeria also spoke about the possibility of an earthquake drill, saying, "Sa earthquake drill, it's a different scenario, but hopefully with this fire drill that we've seen, we are also prepared for that"
This drill was proceeded by another fire drill held for the whole Educative Pastoral Community (EPC) which took place last May 5 at around 8:05 AM Following protocol, all classes, shop works, and lectures were set aside as the EPC participated in the fire drill
Evacuation routes were practiced, and health and safety protocols were applied during and after a fire Afterward, demonstrations on how to put out different types of fires were shown with the supervision of The Bureau of Fire Protection-Makati and the help of student and teacher volunteers
The question-and-answer forum was then proceeded by the formal debate, in which the presidential, vicepresidential, and secretarial candidates participated in a formal Asian parliamentary debate, with Team Hiraya emerging as the winner and Juan Gabriel Padilla recognized as the best speaker
