Taking a proactive stance against seismic threats, the Municipality of Tubod successfully conducted its Earthquake Contingency Planning workshop from April 21-24, 2026. The intensive four-day session was facilitated by the Tubod Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) with technical guidance from the expert resource persons of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Region 10.

Director Antonio Sugarol of OCD-10 lauded the initiative, noting that Tubod is among the first 19 LGUs in Northern Mindanao to officially craft a dedicated contingency plan for earthquakes. Director Sugarol commended the efforts of the Tubod MDRRM Office and Council for being frontrunners in DRRM in Region 10, emphasizing the municipality's commitment to disaster resilience.

Joining the workshop in a show of strong legislative support was SBM Dan Runnel Cabahug, who participated directly in the crafting of the plan. As the Sangguniang Bayan Chair on DRRM, Hon. Cabahug expressed his wholehearted support for the programs, projects, and activities of the MDRRMO. He shared his pride in the fact that Tubod is initiating such proactive measures, ensuring that the local government stays ahead of potential risks.

Planning isn't just a formality, it is a necessity. Tubod is situated near active fault lines that are part of the Lanao Fault System. Because earthquakes occur without warning, having a localized blueprint for response is critical to minimizing casualties and ensuring a swift recovery for the community.

MDRRM Officer Vicmar P. Paloma expressed his deep gratitude for the "whole-of-government" approach displayed during the workshop. He highlighted the active participation and collaboration of national line agencies including the DILG, PNP, BFP, and DepEd. He also extended his appreciation to the personnel of various LGU offices such as the MSWDO, Media, Sangguniang Bayan, MEO, MPDO, MGSO, and MHO for their vital support and assistance to the initiatives of the MDRRM Office.

Mayor Dionisio Y. Cabahug, Jr. assured the people of Tubod that their safety remains the administration's top priority. He emphasized that LGU Tubod is fulfilling its mandate to ensure a safe and resilient community by proactively setting blueprints for safety plans of actions even before the onset of any disaster. Through this preparation, the LGU ensures that the town is ready to face emergencies and crises with a clear and organized strategy.
