SAFER Training Fortifies SDO Lipa’s Disaster Readiness

Ninety-three personnel of the Schools Division of Lipa City strengthened their disaster preparedness and emergency response capabilities as the Division’s School Governance and Operations Division–Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SGOD-DRRM) Unit, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), conducted the Sustainable Advocacy Fostering Educational Resilience (SAFER) Training at Inosloban-Marawoy Integrated National High School on September 29-October 2, 2026.

The four-day training equipped participants with essential knowledge and hands-on skills in disaster preparedness, risk reduction, emergency response, first aid, and other life-saving measures.

Project SAFER focused on enhancing the capacity of SDO Lipa City personnel to respond promptly, effectively, and appropriately to emergencies and disaster-related incidents, particularly within school settings where coordinated action is critical to protecting learners and personnel.

Beyond technical competencies, the initiative fostered a culture of safety, prevention, preparedness, and resilience by equipping personnel to support coordinated disaster risk reduction and emergency response efforts within their respective areas of responsibility.

Project Development Officer II - EDRRMO - Mr. Raymund Bautista, proponent of Project SAFER, spearheaded the training in collaboration with the Philippine Red Cross Batangas Chapter under the leadership of Mr. Ronald G. Generoso and the Philippine Red Cross Lipa City Branch headed by Ms. Iris Kay A. Recto.

The partnership strengthened coordination between the Department of Education and the Philippine Red Cross in providing capacity-building opportunities and developing practical competencies for disaster preparedness and emergency response.

Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Allan D. Tipan conveyed a message of support during the training, highlighting the role of preparedness, coordination, and timely action in managing emergencies, minimizing risks and having the resilience capacity of the schools build-in with the schools.

The activity culminated in a message from Schools Division Superintendent Mr. Homer N. Mendoza, who emphasized the shared responsibility of education stakeholders in strengthening disaster preparedness and building resilient school communities.

Participants are expected to demonstrate enhanced emergency response competencies, stronger leadership and decision-making skills, and greater capacity to establish and support functional emergency response teams. The activity also aims to strengthen knowledge sharing and collaboration in disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness.

Through sustained training, skills enhancement, and partnerships with key organizations and stakeholders, Project SAFER seeks to build a more prepared and resilient SDO Lipa City, equipped with personnel capable of responding effectively to emergencies and advancing disaster-resilient learning environments.

The initiative received the support of the SDO Lipa City Top Management Team, led by Schools Division Superintendent Mr. Homer N. Mendoza, together with School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) Chief Dr. Minerva C. Caraos and Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) Chief Dr. Lorna R. Medrano, reaffirming the Division’s commitment to strengthening personnel capabilities and institutional preparedness for emergencies.

SDO Lipa City Honors Lingkod Bayani in 126th Civil Service Anniversary Celebration

The Schools Division Office (SDO) of Lipa City joined in honoring the spirit of public service as it celebrated Lingkod Kawani 2026 on September 30, 2026, at Sen. Claro Events Center, Lipa City, bringing together SDO personnel and school heads in a celebration of dedication, unity, and excellence in government service.

Carrying the theme “Bawat Kawani, Lingkod Bayani: Puso, Dangal at Galing Para sa Bayan,” the celebration highlighted the invaluable role of every DepEd employee in delivering responsive, accessible, and quality public service to learners, schools, and communities.

The gathering provided an opportunity for SDO personnel and school heads to pause from their daily responsibilities and celebrate their collective contributions while strengthening camaraderie, professional relationships, and their shared commitment to the ideals of public service.

Sir Homer N. Mendoza, OIC Schools Division Superintendent, inspired the SDO workforce during the celebration by recognizing every employee as an important part of the Division’s workforce.

Sir Mendoza emphasized that the delivery of quality education and responsive public service is made possible through the collective efforts of employees who faithfully perform their respective duties. His message reinforced the importance of teamwork, commitment, and shared responsibility in achieving the goals of SDO Lipa City.

During the gathering, Sir Mendoza also formally announced the designation of Dr. Allan D. Tipan as Officer-in-Charge in the Office of the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent, marking another important development in the continuing leadership and management of the Division.

The announcement was received as part of the Division’s continuing effort to ensure sustained coordination and effective delivery of educational services to schools and stakeholders.

The celebration featured various activities designed to embody the values of compassion, commitment, wellness, generosity, and excellence in public service.

A Thanksgiving Mass was also held as an expression of gratitude for the blessings, accomplishments, and continued opportunities to serve the education community.

Promoting employee wellness, the Kalinga sa Kawani: Stress Management Talk provided personnel with practical insights on managing stress and maintaining well-being in the workplace.

The session was delivered by Mr. Royce Clark B. Manalo, RPm, Health Education Promotion Officer/Population Program Worker II of the City Health Office of Lipa, who discussed the importance of recognizing stress, developing healthy coping strategies, and taking proactive steps toward maintaining mental and emotional well-being.

The celebration likewise featured Parangal sa mga Lingkod Bayani: Kwento ng Puso, Dangal at Galing, which recognized the stories, dedication, and contributions of employees who exemplify the spirit of public service of the personnel of OSDS, CID and SGOD.

More than a celebration of the Civil Service anniversary, Lingkod Kawani 2026 served as a reminder that public service is sustained by people who choose to perform their responsibilities with dedication, integrity, and compassion. Agencies like PagIBIG and Philhealth YAKAP offered their full assistance to all Kawani of SDO Lipa City in membership, services and other benefits.

For SDO Lipa City, the celebration affirmed that every employee—whether assigned in the Division Office or in schools—plays an essential role in creating responsive services and better opportunities for learners.

As the Division moves forward, its personnel are encouraged to continue embodying the values expressed in this year's theme: puso in serving with compassion, dangal in upholding integrity, and galing in pursuing excellence.

Through Lingkod Kawani 2026, SDO Lipa City renewed its collective commitment to public service and celebrated the men and women who make a difference every day—Bawat Kawani, Lingkod Bayani: Puso, Dangal at Galing Para sa Bayan.

SDO Lipa City Implements Learner Safety and Well-Being through Project LISTEN

The Schools Division Office of Lipa City continues to strengthen its commitment to learner safety, security, protection, and well-being through the implementation of Project LISTEN or Listen to Learners, Identify Risks Early, Strengthen Support System, Take Prompt Action, Engage Stakeholders, and Nurture Safe and Caring Schools.

The Division initiative is being implemented pursuant to Office Memorandum-SDS-2026-01-002, titled Development and Implementation of a School-Based Violence Prevention and Early Intervention Framework, dated August 19, 2026. The project underscores the Schools Division Office’s commitment to ensuring that every learner is heard, respected, protected, and provided with appropriate support.

Schools Division Superintendent Sir Homer N. Mendoza emphasized the importance of strengthening the presence and engagement of SDO personnel in schools as part of the Division’s continuing efforts to establish safe, caring, inclusive, and learner-centered learning environments.

Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ronaldo V. Ramilo, together with CID Chief Dr. Lorna R. Medrano and SGOD Chief Dr. Minerva C. Caraos, provided direction and participated in the implementation of the initiative, particularly in strengthening school monitoring, early identification of concerns, coordination, and appropriate intervention.

As part of Project LISTEN, SDO personnel from the Office of the Schools Division Superintendent (OSDS), Curriculum Implementation Division (CID), and School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) conduct regular school monitoring and visits every second and fourth Monday of the month.

The initial implementation of the initiative was carried out on September 21 and September 28, 2026, with designated monitoring officials visiting schools to engage with learners and check on their safety, protection, and overall well-being.

The school visits go beyond attendance at the Flag Raising Ceremony. The Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDSs), Education Program Supervisors (EPSs), and other personnel from the SGOD and CID serve as monitoring officials who engage with learners, check on their well-being, and provide opportunities for learners to freely express their concerns, experiences, and needs.

Through these interactions, monitoring officials help identify concerns and emerging issues that may not have been formally reported or documented, including bullying, intimidation, violence, emotional distress, interpersonal conflicts, and other learner-related concerns. They also remain alert to potential risks and warning signs that may require immediate attention, referral, or appropriate intervention.

Project LISTEN likewise strengthens the system of listening, early intervention, referral, case coordination, and follow-through, ensuring that identified concerns are appropriately addressed through coordinated action among schools and the Schools Division Office.

More importantly, the initiative demonstrates the commitment of the SDO Lipa leadership and personnel to be present, accessible, responsive, and ready to listen. Through the September 21 and 28 school visits, monitoring officials provided learners with opportunities to communicate their concerns and experience the presence and support of the Schools Division Office.

By maintaining regular engagement with learners, the Division seeks to foster a culture where learners feel safe to speak, confident to seek help, and assured that their concerns matter.

Through the collective efforts of the OSDS, CID, SGOD, PSDSs, EPSs, school heads, teachers, and other education personnel, Project LISTEN reinforces the shared responsibility of the entire education community in nurturing safe, caring, inclusive, and learner-centered schools across the Schools Division of Lipa City.
