In celebration of National Disaster Resilience Month 2025 on July 2025, a large-scale Hands-Only CPR training was successfully conducted across the municipalities of Mallig, Quirino, and Gamu, Isabela. The activity was spearheaded by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Health program of the Provincial Health Office (IPHO) of Isabela headed by Dr. Nelson O. Paguirigan, Provincial Health Officer II, in strong collaboration with the local government units of the three municipalities through their Municipal Health Offices, and the Department of Education (DepEd).
A total of 3,381 high school students from six secondary schools actively participated in the training. The participating schools included Mallig National High School, Mallig Plains NHS, San Jose NHS, Bimonton Integrated School, Quirino National High School, and Mabini National High School. The activity aimed to raise awareness and enhance lifesaving skills among the youth, particularly in responding to cardiac emergencies through hands-only CPRβa vital skill in any disaster or emergency scenario.
The success of the event was made possible through the support of key partner stakeholders: the Philippine Red Cross Isabela Chapter, Americares Philippines, and the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices (LDRRMOs) of Mallig, Quirino, and Gamu.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in building a generation of young, prepared, and resilient responders in the face of emergencies.
