The History

The Jose P Laurel Memorial School of Arts and Trades was a Technical-Vocational Institution
and a school of secondary level. Originally, the school was under the Department of Education,
Culture and Sports and eventually brought under the authority of the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) Supervised Institution (CSI), and non-chartered tertiary institution. The
conversion of JosePLaurelPolytechnicCollege from JPLMSAT was approved by the House of the
Representatives filed by former Congresswoman Lally Laurel-Trinidad and then approved by the
Senate on January 27, 1992. On May 21, 1992, the former President Corazon C. Aquino finally
signed the bill into law as Republic Act No. 7519.

Board Resolution No.2, s. 2000 was approved on February 25, 2000 on the official
integration of the CHED Supervised Institution (CSIs) in the Province of Batangas pursuant to
the provision of R.A. No. 8292 otherwise known as “Higher Modernization Act of 1997”
inclusive of the Jose P Laurel Polytechnic College in Malvar. Its integration would mean the
complete absorption of the JPLPC by the Pablo Borbon Memorial School of Arts and Trades as
host StateUniversity. The JPLPC would in effect just become a campus of the said host school in
the tertiary level. By virtue of Republic Act No. 9045, the Pablo Borbon Memorial School of Arts
and Trades was converted to BatangasStateUniversity on March 22, 2001.

Based from the foregoing background, on July 17, 2000, the issuance on the Integration of
CHED-Supervised Institution (CSIs) to StateUniversity and Colleges was implemented. This took
effect on October 31, 2001. The effectivity of its integration from CSIs to SUCs in accordance
with the Commission en Bane Resolution No. 131-2000 was signed by former DECS Secretary
Hon. Andrew Gonzales on July 31, 2000. Unfortunately, the content-intent of the Implementing
Guidelines on Integration was not properly disseminated and discuss to all concerned.

On February 8, 2001, the Laurelian Organization headed by its President, MrsTeofila T.

Panlilio, sought an audience to the PBMIT President, Hon. Ernesto Chavez to clarify the issue.
Our intention was not to question the laudable objectives of integration. The alarming situation
focused on the phase-down-phase-out situation of our secondary department in accordance
with the existing order of the CHED. Its gradual phase-down-phase-out resulted to the
dislocation of teachers who were teaching in the secondary level. Some of the concerned
teachers were on their twilight of the years and they could not have the strength to pursue
their master’s degree as one of the qualifying standards in BSU. In fact, most of our teachers
had finished their basic requirements in Master of Arts and glaring effect had bridged the unity
of teachers and personnel to look for assistance from our concerned politicians. Under the
increasing pressure, we were in the gray area to recognize the problems and responded for a
better solution.

On February 13, 2001, we brought the matters to the desk of Congressman Macario Laurel
and he extended his utmost help to ease our dilemma. His lawyer advised us to send a letter to
the Civil Service Commission.

Our plight took a long course of action; MALVAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL was created. The
signing of Memorandum of Agreement between the BSU President Hon. Chavez and DECS – RO
IV Director Hon. Belen H. Magsino envisioned changes for development. Our secondary
department was physically detached from JosePLaurelPolytechnicCollege inclusive of 41
Teachers and Personnel. Enrolment was declared to open by the DECS - RO IV Director. The flow
of enrollees came into our newly separated school, the MALVAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. The
DECS-Task Force observed the beautiful scenario. Finally, free secondary education was the
answer to our youth’s call for a bright future. The beneficiaries of our strong plight were made
up of 838 enrollees from first year to fourth year levels.

The biggest support was made by the Secretary of Department of Justice Hon. HERNANDO
B. PEREZ, the DECS-RO IV Officials headed by Hon. BELEN H. MAGSINO, Director IV, Ex-
Congressman MACARIO LAUREL, Ex Mayor TEODORA O. VILLEGAS of Malvar, the
SANGGUNIANG BAYAN of Malvar, the SANGGUNIANG BARANGAY of the municipality of Malvar,
the PARENTS of Malvar and nearby towns, the concerned PTA of JPLPC and most particularly
the 41 TEACHERS and PERSONNEL of Jose P Laurel Polytechnic College who decided to transfer
to MALVAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL relative to its visible retention and operation.

 II. OBJECTIVES
The rights of all children to education must go hand in hand with their right to
safety. The 2017 Contingency Plan covers 2190 of the school learners and personnel. It focuses
on meteorological hazard known as the volcanic eruption and base surge
This Contingency Plan aims to help safeguard both these rights. It starts from the
logic that all disasters can be mitigated with knowledge and good planning, taking physical and
environmental protection measures and developing response preparedness at all levels in the
entire school.
The goal of the contingency plan is to provides effective, efficient, timely and
well-coordinated response mechanisms in the event of the occurrence of volcanic eruption in
Municipality of Lemery to conduct capacity needs, assessment in the municipal level in areas of
good governance, risk assessment, early warning, knowledge building and awareness rising,
reducing underlying risk factors and preparedness for effective response and early recovery
with reference to the assessment conducted in the barangay level, for purpose of identifying
main capacity gaps.Such mechanisms to help and protect lives, properties and the environment,
and restore the immediate needs of affected communities.

The following are the additional purposes for the completion of this plan :

 Ensure the safety of all students, teachers and visitors at the site/facility;
 Protect vital information and records;
 Secure school sites hand facilities;
 Safeguard and make available vital materials, supplies and equipment to ensure the
safety and recovery of records from predictable disasters;
 Reduce the risk of disasters caused by human error, deliberate destruction, and building
or equipment failures;
 Be better prepared to recover from a major natural catastrophe;
 Ensure the organization's ability to continue operating after a disaster;
 Recover lost or damaged records or information after a disaster;
 Involve Stakeholders, Parents, School Club Officers, NGO, LGU and Community for
planning safety of students from disasters and for preventing the damages of school
premises.
 CHAPTER III. COORDINATION, COMMAND AND CONTROL
 Hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property,
or environment. Hazards can be dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm;
however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency. A hazardous situation
that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to
create risk.
There are classifications of hazard. Each classification has category. The following
is a common way to classify hazards.
Biological - bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and humans, etc.,
Chemical - depends on the physical, chemical and toxic properties of the chemical.
Ergonomic - repetitive movements, improper set up of workstation, etc.,
Physical - radiation, magnetic fields, pressure extremes (high pressure or vacuum),
noise, etc,
Psychosocial - stress, violence, etc.,
Safety - slipping/tripping hazards, inappropriate machine guarding, equipment
malfunctions or breakdowns

Although, no damages to the school were caused by the taal eruption previously , a
contingency plan is a vital tool in the occurrence of the devastating hazard fortunately not
hitting the town of Malvar, a precautionary measure is still the best way to mitigate and prevent
casualties and infrastructure damages.
• The impacts focus on the damage on classrooms according to three categories: totally
damaged, partially major damaged, minor damaged. The school is composed of 30
• classrooms and no record of damages is evident.
• Its vulnerable impact indicated is applicable only to Malvar School of Arts and Trade at
Poblacion, Malvar, Batangas.

Volcanic eruptions happen when lava and gas are

discharged from a volcanic vent. The most common consequences of this are population
movements as large numbers of people are often forced to flee the moving lava flow. Volcanic
eruptions often cause temporary food shortages and volcanic ash landslides called Lahar.
