MANILA, Philippines — A nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill is set to be held on September 8 as part of the country's efforts to be prepared against natural disasters, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Thursday. NDRRMC spokesman Mark Timbal said the upcoming drill will also allow students to participate as some schools are already holding in-person classes by then. 'Mas masaya ngayon dahil nasa eskwelahan yung mga bata at doon din isasagawa yung mga drills para makiisa yung ating mga eskwelahan, mga estudyante dito sa earthquake drill na ito,' he said in a public briefing.
