00:07as well as the schools.
00:09Vel Custodio of PTV for Panitang Pambansa Live.
00:16Today, the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill will be held as well as the schools.
00:26The first room is now in the Bayang Earthquake Drill.
00:29This is for the preparation of the strong earthquake,
00:31including the big one.
00:33Although the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill is held at 3 p.m.,
00:36the Department of Education is allowing the schools and offices
00:41to conduct the drill from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
00:44This is to avoid the hot weather.
00:47Parents and guardians are advised to prepare for the earthquake,
00:52especially if they are not with their children when they enter the school.
00:57It's a bit uncomfortable when we enter the school.
01:03It's an emergency.
01:06We need to know where to hide when there's an earthquake.
01:13We also need to know where to look for exits.
01:19First, we will do the cover and hold.
01:22Then, when it calms down, we will walk.
01:27Now, the DepEd Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Services,
01:34especially in times of earthquakes like the earthquake,
01:37will conduct the dock, cover, and hold.
