Parish Conducts PSAM Day Earthquake Drill
The very first earthquake drill in the Archdiocese of Davao happened so fast, that it lasted for just five minutes right after the 8 am mass at St. Francis of Assisi Quasi-Parish, Laverna Subdivision, last September 13. The Parish Social Action Ministry Coordinator (PSAM), Ignacio Bernaldez intended that the activity would help the people know what to do when earthquake strikes. A parishioner appreciated much the initiative saying, “I am very happy because at least we were given awareness if ever this kind of calamity will happen in the future.”
Though in doubt, parish priest, Rev. Fr. Orlando Angelia felt excited as it was the first time to be conducted in a parish. Even so, it went well because the parishioners participated. Speaker Renante Luna, the founder of Mindanao Emergency Response Team (MERT) said that the success would depend on support and cooperation of each one. “Dili nato makab-ot, ang atong tumong ug tinguha, agi’g pag pangandam batok kalamidad kung walay pag tinambayayungay,” ends Luna.
