As Ramon F. Magsaysay ES prepares for Distance Learning through Printed

Modules the possibility of these learning modules becoming a mode of transmitting the
virus is a valid concern for the school administration. Alcohol disinfection may not be a
wise move since it dumps the supposedly dry material. For this reason, this Module
Sanitizer was made so as to have an efficient and effective way to disinfect learning
modules sent out, and retrieved from the pupils.

Bernardo L. Pañares, the school head, got the idea after the teaching and non-
teaching personnel of Daliaon District donated some stuff to the front liners of Southern
Philippines Medical Center in April.
Pañares witnessed how they used the small amount donated to construct a DIY
UV disinfection box for their PPEs and N95 masks. This prompted him to think on the
possibility of disinfecting their own modules since these would be prone to exposure to
the virus.
“I started to do some research and I was convinced that it could be done,” he
said.
So, he showcased this innovation during the dry run and simulation and shared these
great ideas to other schools last August 07, 2020 with presence of the Chief of the CID
of the SDO of Davao City Dr. Alma C. Cifra.
This innovation is still undergoing a lot of modifications so as to improve its
efficiency in terms of the number of learning modules it can hold and still ensure the
effectiveness in terms of ability to disinfect.
