The College of Teacher Education (CTE) of the University of La Salette, Inc. (ULS), through its Community Extension Office, in partnership with the Graduate School, conducted “ULS TARABAY: Safe Haven: Empowering Educators and Students for Campus Security and Resilience” on November 6, 2026, at the ULS SDG Center to strengthen campus safety awareness and preparedness among educators and school personnel.
The seminar aimed to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills in addressing emerging security threats and promoting a culture of safety within educational institutions.
Dominick R. Domingo, LPT, Coordinator of CTE Community Extension, emphasized the importance of proactive vigilance during his opening remarks.
“Hindi tayo maaaring manahimik. Hindi tayo maaaring maghintay na sa sarili nating tarangkahan kumatok ang trahedya bago tayo kumilos. Silence is not safety, and waiting is not preparation,” Domingo said.
The organizers partnered with the Philippine National Police (PNP) Santiago City Police Office Station 2, with PCPL Josfina P. Romero serving as the resource speaker. PCPT Redentor A. Cagurangan and PAT Rolando T. Baydid also attended the activity in support of the training.
Romero discussed potential security threats in school settings, including shooting incidents and other forms of campus violence. She also demonstrated appropriate safety measures and emergency response procedures that educators and school personnel can implement during critical situations.
“Sama-sama nating gawing tunay na ligtas na kanlungan ang ating paaralan. Together, let us make our campus a true safe haven,” Domingo added, encouraging collective action among members of the academic community.
Through the seminar, CTE and the Graduate School reinforced the University’s commitment to fostering a secure, resilient, and prepared learning environment for students, faculty members, and personnel.
