Quezon City, 17 February (PIA) – Duck, cover, hold. These were the instructions given to 7,000 students, faculty members and personnel of the Muntinlupa National High School (MNHS) during the nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill Thursday morning, February 17, 2011.
The activity began with the ceremonial pressing of the button, which signals the start of the drill. 
A scenario was staged wherein MNHS students, teachers and personnel were busy with their regular school work when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake suddenly occurred.
The teachers told their students to duck, cover and hold. As soon as the shaking has stopped, immediately, teachers ordered the students not to panic and to walk orderly out of their classrooms.
The students and other school personnel directly went to their designated evacuation area along with emergency kits and flaglets with written year level and section for easy identification.

I believe it is great that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) intends to help them. I will applaud any sincere effort. It is easy to say this or that will not help or that it is too little, but let the critics shut up and come with constructive criticism. There are many ways to help the poor, and the NGO's do a great job and if the DSWD finds some ways as well then so much the better.
