Sa pangunguna ng Batang Empowered at Resilient Team (BERT), Red Cross Youth (RCY), Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Dr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran, punongguro at mga guro ng PCNSciHS ay matagumpay na naisagawa ang paghahanda para sa posibleng pagtama ng malakas na lindol. Ayon kay G. Randie Pimentel, tagapayo ng PaSci BERT, at Bb. Mae Claire Siguros, tagapayo ng PaSci RCY, matapos ang dalawang minuto at 40 segundo ay nakalabas na ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral. Sa pakikiisa at pakikipagtulungan nina Chairman Alejandro Acabado III ng Brgy. 98 at Chairman Rommel V. Hernandez ng Brgy. 99 at iba pang mga opisyales ng nasabing mga barangay, naging matagumpay ang pagsasagawa ng earthquake drill. Nagbahagi rin ng mga yugto ng earthquake drill ang BERT bilang gabay sa paglikas na nahahati sa anim: alarm, response, evacuation, assembly, head count, at evaluation. Ang mga hard hat na ipinamahagi ng Pasay City Government ay nagamit din na magsisilbing proteksiyon sa naturang sakuna. Kahit pangalawang araw ngayon ng Unang Markahang Pagsusulit ay naisakatuparan pa rin ang drill, patunay na ang buhay at kaligtasan ng mga mag-aaral ang unang prayoridad ng bawat isa sa paaralan.

At exactly 9:05 a.m., the school’s bells rang, signaling the start of the drill. Under the guidance of school officials and teachers, students promptly followed evacuation procedures. According to Randie Pimentel, it took just 2 minutes and 40 seconds for all students to evacuate the building—a significant improvement from last year’s time of 3 minutes and 55 seconds. “I’m very glad about the improvement in our time, from 3:55 minutes during the last 1st Quarter NSED to 2:40 minutes this 3rd Quarter NSED. The PaScians performed really well during the earthquake drill,” said Maricon Danieles, Batang Empowered Resilience Team (BERT) President. She expressed gratitude to school personnel and barangay officials for their support and emphasized that while she hopes these practices will never be needed, their goal for the next drill is to reduce the evacuation time to 2 minutes, which she believes is achievable. The drill was part of a nationwide effort to enhance earthquake preparedness in educational institutions and raise awareness of disaster response protocols.
