We are pleased to announce that regular face-to-face classes will resume on Monday, October 20, 2025, following thorough safety assessments and consultations with local authorities. The previously implemented modular, asynchronous, or blended learning modalities, enacted on October 15, 2025, are hereby lifted.

The safety and stability of our community remain our top priority. After careful evaluation of structural integrity, utility restoration, and seismic activity reports, we confirm that schools are safe for the return of all learners and personnel.

Teaching and non-teaching personnel are required to report onsite beginning October 20, 2025, to resume regular operations. Teachers are directed to facilitate a smooth transition back to in-person learning, address any gaps from the interim period, and ensure all learners receive necessary academic support.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone for your resilience, cooperation, and adaptability during this challenging time. Let us continue to prioritize safety by adhering to emergency protocols, staying informed through official channels, and supporting one another as we reconnect in our classrooms.

Together, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a secure and nurturing environment where quality education thrives.

Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Together, we move forward.

On October 3, 2025, Don Enrique Bustamante National High School celebrated the School-Based World Teachers’ Day to honor and express heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated educators whose passion and commitment continue to inspire our learners.

The celebration began with a solemn Thanksgiving Mass, offering prayers of gratitude for the gift of teaching and for the continued strength and guidance of all teaching and non-teaching personnel. The event became even more meaningful with the presence of Hon. Rigo Duterte, Acting Vice Mayor of Davao City, who graced the occasion and shared words of appreciation and encouragement. His message highlighted the vital role of teachers in shaping not only young minds but also the future of our nation.

Adding joy and excitement to the day were the fun games and the much-awaited Teacher’s Got Talent, which fostered camaraderie and laughter among teachers and staff. The program also gave special recognition to our student teachers. The celebration culminated in a warm fellowship lunch, strengthening unity and togetherness within the DEBNHS family.

Special thanks to the Supreme Secondary Learners Government (SSLG) for organizing this meaningful celebration for our teachers; to Barangay Bago Gallera, headed by Hon. Rey P. Gervacio, for providing free massage and haircut services; to Team Militar for the delicious arroz caldo; and to our ever-supportive PTA officers for the thoughtful tokens of appreciation.

To all our teachers — your dedication, patience, and love for teaching continue to make a lasting impact. You are truly the heart of education.

As part of the Culmination Program of Math-Sci Month 2025, the activity served not only as a community engagement effort but also as a reminder that science and mathematics extend beyond the classroom and are deeply connected to the community and the environment.

The program was spearheaded by Ms. Julie P. Fanlo, whose leadership and dedication inspired both students and teachers to work hand in hand for the success of this annual endeavor.

Indeed, with unity and cooperation, the message of this year’s theme resonates clearly: together, we can create a cleaner, greener, and happier tomorrow.🌱

Isang makulay at matagumpay na pagtatapos ng Buwan ng Wika 2025 ang ginanap sa Don Enrique Bustamante National High School noong Agosto 29, 2025 na may temang: “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa”

Pinangunahan ng Filipino Department sa pamumuno ni Gng. Anita Manzano ang buong selebrasyon. Nagbigay din ng makabuluhang inspirasyon ang ating butihing punong-g**o na si G. Tito L. Tuquib sa pamamagitan ng kanyang talumpati .

Puno ng sigla, talento, at pagmamahal sa sariling wika ang ipinamalas ng mga g**o at mag-aaral sa iba’t ibang patimpalak at pagtatanghal. Isang taos-pusong pagbati at pasasalamat sa lahat ng lumahok at nagwagi sa mga patimpalak. Ang bawat pagtatanghal ay hindi lamang nagbigay-aliw, kundi nagpatibay din ng ating paniniwala na ang wika at kultura ay dapat pangalagaan, itaguyod, at ipagmalaki.

Pinatunayan ng ating pagdiriwang na ang wikang Filipino at mga katutubong wika ay tulay tungo sa pagkakaisa at pagkakaunawaan ng bawat Pilipino.
