𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀: 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍! 🎃👻

Did you know that Halloween traces some of its roots to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival traditionally observed in Ireland and other parts of the Celtic world, including Scotland and Wales? It marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter and was associated with traditional beliefs about the connection between the living and the dead.

Halloween is celebrated every October 31st in many parts of the world, with costumes, spooky decorations, and festive activities! Over the centuries, the celebration has evolved through various cultural influences, taking on different meanings and traditions across communities.

While cultures honor their departed loved ones in different ways, remembering them can also be a time to celebrate the lives they lived, cherish the memories they left behind, and be grateful for the love they shared with us. After all, the memories of our loved ones can bring warmth and smiles even when they are no longer with us.

This Halloween, the Schools Division Office of Dumaguete City joins the world in celebrating the season! With our paper-bag creations, hand-drawn faces, and a little spooky charm, we're embracing the lighter, fun-filled side of Halloween while celebrating creativity, togetherness, and camaraderie in the workplace.

Different cultures, different traditions, and different ways of remembering, but all remind us of the importance of cherishing memories, appreciating life, and respecting one another's beliefs.

𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐒𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫, 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬

DUMAGUETE CITY, NEGROS ORIENTAL — The 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 (𝐍𝐎𝐫𝐏𝐏𝐎), in partnership with government agencies, educational institutions, and community stakeholders, officially launched 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐒𝐚𝐲𝐚, a holistic school violence prevention campaign, on October 29, 2026, at the Dumaguete City National High School (DCNHS) Gymnasium in Calindangan, Dumaguete City.

Anchored on the theme “𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐞: 𝐀 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧,” the initiative seeks to strengthen efforts to prevent bullying and other forms of school violence while promoting safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments for students.

The launching was spearheaded by Police Regional Office Negros Island Region (PRO NIR) Regional Director 𝐏𝐁𝐆𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐋. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬, together with NOrPPO Acting Provincial Director 𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐋 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐁. 𝐀𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 and 𝐏𝐌𝐀𝐉 𝐄𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐑. 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐨-𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐫., Assistant Chief of the Police Community Affairs and Development Unit (PCADU).

Representing Dumaguete City Mayor Manuel “Chiquiting” T. Sagarbarria was City Administrator 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐲. 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐭. Meanwhile, 𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐋 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭, Chief of the Negros Oriental Provincial CSU, represented Governor Manuel L. Sagarbarria.

Also in attendance was Dumaguete City Schools Division Superintendent 𝐃𝐫. 𝐄𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐈𝐚𝐧 𝐋. 𝐂𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐨, 𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐎 𝐕𝐈, who expressed his happiness and support for the PNP’s CampusSaya program. Cabio welcomed the initiative as an important step toward strengthening school safety and protecting learners from bullying and other forms of violence.

Cabio also acknowledged the leadership of the Dumaguete City Police Office under 𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐋 𝐃𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐠 for its commitment and continued pursuit of safer schools in the city. He emphasized that the success of the campaign would depend on sustained cooperation among the police, schools, families, local government units, and the wider community.

𝐃𝐫. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐀. 𝐒𝐮𝐧, 𝐉𝐫., Principal III of Dumaguete City National High School, the host institution, also attended the activity.

The event was attended by Grade 11 and Grade 12 learners of DCNHS, together with their senior high school teachers, as well as members of the NOrPPO command group and personnel, representatives of partner agencies, school officials, educators, and other community stakeholders. Their participation underscored the importance of a united and collaborative approach to safeguarding the welfare of learners.

The ceremonial unveiling of the CampusSaya campaign tarpaulin and the distribution of informational posters highlighted the shared commitment of participating institutions to raise awareness about school violence, encourage positive behavior, and promote a culture of kindness and respect within school communities.

More than an awareness campaign, CampusSaya aims to empower students to speak up against bullying, report incidents of violence, and seek assistance without fear. It emphasizes resilience, empathy, accountability, and collective responsibility in ensuring that every learner feels safe, heard, valued, and protected.

Through stronger collaboration among the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Department of Education (DepEd), local government units, school administrators, parents, students, and community partners, the initiative seeks to establish a lasting culture of peace and mutual respect in schools.

The campaign highlights three core principles: Resilient Minds, which encourage students to face challenges with courage and confidence; Kind Hearts, which promote empathy, compassion, and respect for others; and Zero Hate, which calls for a united stand against bullying, discrimination, and all forms of school violence.

The launch of CampusSaya marks a shared commitment to making schools safer spaces where learners can pursue their education free from fear, intimidation, and violence. By actively involving students and teachers, the initiative reinforces the role of the entire school community in preventing violence and fostering positive relationships.

As the campaign moves forward, its success will depend on the sustained involvement of schools, families, authorities, and communities in building an environment where every voice matters and every child is protected.
