Mark Anthony B. Inocencio

On January 20, 2022 – Nagyubuyuban Integrated School of DepEd SDO-City of San

Fernando La Union, headed by Mr. Mark Anthony B. Inocencio, received its safety seal
certification through the office of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-
City of San Fernando, La Union headed by Miss Lily Ann O. Calisao.
The safety seal certification from DILG attests strict implementation of the health and
security standard in light with the threat of COVID-19. Consequently, as part of the efforts of the
Department of education (DepEd) to expand the limited face-to-face modality of learning, NIS
adheres and complies with the existing policies and rules regarding the program. The school
applied for it to assure that the school offices do really follow these standards. The validation and
ocular inspection of the school site and facilities were done through the efforts of the different
government agencies – Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine
National Police (PNP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) of City of San Fernando, La Union.
With the school practices initiated by the school head, teachers, staffs, parents and its
stakeholders such as utilizing StaySafe.ph application for entry and contact tracing system in
addition to the logbook at the school main entrance, well-designed traffic management system in
all classrooms, the foot-operated hand washing facilities, equipment for disinfections and other
facilities and practices which would help in the implementation of the health and security
standard qualifies the school for the certification.
The safety seal certification of the school set the standard in all schools in La Union to
also secure their safety seal to assure their preparedness with the expanded face-to-face modality
of learning, and for the safety and security of schools’ clienteles for any on-site transactions.
