Earlier today, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) joined government agencies and organizations nationwide in the 4th Quarter 2025 Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED), led by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) through the Office of Civil Defense (OCD).

At exactly 9:00 a.m., 213 DAP personnel participated in the evacuation drill at the DAP Building in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, under the leadership of DAP Incident Commander Armin James S. Kraft. Following the evacuation, the DAP Emergency Response Team (ERT) conducted a debriefing to assess challenges encountered during the drill and to identify measures to further strengthen the Academy’s emergency response and disaster preparedness systems.

Through its continued participation in the NSED, the DAP reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of its personnel and to supporting the national goal of building a disaster-resilient Philippines.
