Longlong Elementary School actively participated in the Philippine Red Cross Hands-Only CPR Caravan facilitated by the Philippine Red Cross β Benguet Chapter on July 21, 2026, at 3:30 PM, immediately after class hours.
The activity forms part of the nationwide observance of National CPR Day every July 17 and serves as a lead-up to the celebration of World Restart a Heart Day in October. The campaign aims to equip Filipinos with a simple yet life-saving skill that can significantly increase the survival chances of individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest before professional medical assistance arrives.
As one of the participating schools, Longlong Elementary School joined the Philippine Red Cross in promoting emergency preparedness through Hands-Only CPR demonstrations and practical training sessions. Grade 5 and Grade 6 learners, together with school personnel, were introduced to the importance of recognizing the early signs of cardiac arrest, activating the emergency response system, and immediately administering high-quality chest compressions while awaiting the arrival of emergency responders.
Since Hands-Only CPR for adult sudden cardiac arrest victims does not require rescue breaths, it is easier to learn and perform, empowering more individuals to respond confidently and effectively during emergencies. Through this initiative, the school further strengthened its commitment to fostering a culture of preparedness, resilience, and life-saving awareness among learners and school personnel.
