Malacanang has said schools must follow the recommendations of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) asking for clear rules before schools allow students to go on educational tours.
The NDRRMC issued a statement following the recent tragedy in Boracay Island where a student drowned during an educational field trip.
"Magandang bagay ang hinihingi ng NDRRMC para maisama naman ang disaster preparedness. Dapat matagal na panahong pinaghahandaan," Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a radio interview over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Saturday.
"Maganda na masimulan sa mga estudyante natin, sa mga mag-aaral na bata pa lang na alam na po nila at maidikdik natin sa kanilang pag-iisip kung ano ang kailangan for disaster preparedness," she said.
The NDRRMC said schools must have rules in place to prevent a repeat of the Boracay incident, noting that students joining field trips must be briefed on the risks when going swimming or hiking.
