Looks like the Metro Manila earthquake drill is a huge success, as everyone really took it seriously.

At the Corazon Aquino Elementary School on Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City alone, more than 4,000 kids joined the earthquake drill on Thu morning, Jul 30. The school’s location is one of the first areas that would be affected if the so-called “Big One” strikes.

Students ducked under their chairs, placed doormats on their heads and then quickly evacuated the school during the earthquake drill. Students were also instructed to bring flashlights and whistles. (ANC)
