I. Background
The early inhabitants of Rosario were also the descendants of the first Filipinos to travel by land and water from
mainland Asia to Palawan and the Calamianese Island group. They lived in caves in Palawan, then a peninsula
of Asia mainland, 50,000 years ago, and also in Batangas. These were Stone Age Filipinos who occupied the
major islands of the Philippines.
At the end of the Stone Age Period, trickles of people from Indo-Chinese peninsula drifted to the Palawan-
Mindoro area. During the next thousand years, descendants of these people occupied even interior mountain
regions. Larger communities were those near the coast or near riverbanks.
Ten Datus from Borneo came to the Philippines in the 13th century. They disembarked at the Taal lake area and
settled with the inhabitants of the lake – the Taga-ilogs. It is believed that the descendants of the original
inhabitants of Batangas are today residents of the province.
In these coastal and mountain areas of the province lived people, who like the rest of the country's inhabitants
were related to one another by blood or by marriage. Their social unit was the barangay, headed by a datu. They
worshiped their "kanunununuan" natural objects like trees, caves and mountains; and other forms of culture of
their own.
The Spaniards arrived in the area of Batangas in 1572. It was created as a province in 1581. The towns or
pueblos of the province were each placed under a gobernadorcillo. Their barangays or barrios were under the
cabeza de barangay. A secular priest was said to have been stationed in this coastal area of present-day Lobo as
early as 1636. Evangelization was slow and difficult as in other parts of the Philippines. Villagers were made to
live closer together to form a larger settlement for local administration.
Thousands of men, women, and children rushed from Lobo's shore, escape the pursuing Moros. They were
chanting the rosary as they fled to safety. They prayed to Nuestra Senora Del Santisimo Rosario for heavenly
protection. The crowd stopped at Kansahayan River at Taysan's Hilerang Kawayan. They felt safe enough to
settle here. They built homes and began to rebuild their lives here. They named the place Rosario - after praying
the rosary. Their governor at the time was Don Nicolas Morales. The remaining Lobo residents moved to the
new island settlement afterwards. By 1691, a new parish had emerged. That seaside village vanished in 1698.
From 1691 through1721, the Augustinians spiritually supervised the new parish.
Rosario is located at the junction of 13 o 50' 43.90" North latitude and 121o 12' 22.75" East longitude. It is
located in the province's south eastern section, along with the province's south eastern borders with Quezon
Province. It is flanked on the north by Padre Garcia and Lipa City; on the south by Taysan and Lobo
municipalities; on the east by San Juan municipality and Quezon Province; and on the west by Ibaan
municipality. The municipality is located in Batangas Province's Fourth Congressional District. Rosario is
around 93 kilometers from Metro Manila, the country's most populous region, and 23 kilometers from the
provincial seat of Batangas City. Additionally, it is 13 kilometers from Lipa City, the district's principal
metropolitan center. It is easily accessible by land from all directions (north, south, east, and west), both inside
and beyond the municipality. The municipality is accessible from Metro Manila by the eastern route via
Candelaria, Quezon, and the northwestern route via Lipa City.
Land Area
The municipality has an area of 27,923.67 hectares in total. These are subdivided administratively into forty-
eight (48) barangays. These barangays are easily organized into eight (8) clusters to facilitate local government
initiative cooperation. Barangays Poblacion A,B,C,D, and E are the municipality's urban barangays. The
combined area of these barangays is 93.132 hectares. These barangays currently comprise the municipality's
Central Business District. The remaining 43 barangays encompass the remaining 27,830.5380 hectares. These
are the places referred to be rural barangays at the moment.
Climate
Rosario's climate is defined by two distinct seasons: wet (or rainy) and dry. The rainy season lasts
approximately six months, from May to October, and is characterized by the southwest monsoon. However,
rainfall is often equally distributed throughout the year. From November through April, the dry season is
appreciated. The climate in this location is ideal for vegetable cultivation. It is regularly visited by typhoons, as
is the rest of southern Luzon.
From January to April, the southeast monsoon is predominant, whereas the southwest monsoon is predominant
from late May or early June to late October or early November. Moist unstable air from the southwest,
connected with the southwest monsoon, provides rain.
Topography
The municipality of Rosario is generally level, with gently sloping to undulating topography. It is located in a
terrain with elevation ranging from 100 to 200 meters mean sea level in the study area.
Geology
Rosario's geology is mostly Tertiary to Quaternary in age and composed primarily of igneous rocks. These
rocks, which originated during the Pleistocene epoch, are common across the municipality. A substantial
portion of the municipality is covered with volcanic ejecta, commonly known as Taal Tuff, which was erupted
during past eruptions of Taal Volcano, which has since been reduced to a caldera. The eastern, central, and
western portions of Rosario are largely covered by Taal Tuff, although the southeastern portion is partially
covered by San Juan Diorite. (Source: GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the Prevention and
Management of Marine Pollution in East Asian Seas, Coastal Environmental Profile of the Batangas Bay
Region, 1996.)
Slopes below 18 percent comprising more than 70 percent of its total land area typify the slope profile of
central to eastern up to northeastern barangay clusters of the municipality. The slopes of the remaining
barangays in the eastern to southeastern barangay clusters are rolling to rough, with slopes of more than 18
percent and above.
Slope 0 -3 %: Salao, Macalamcam A and B, Pinagsibaan, Puting Kahoy, Balibago, Alupay and portion of
Mabato
Slope 3 - 8%: Marilag, San Ignacio, Colongan, Namunga, Masaya, Poblacion, Timbugan, Namuco, Itlugan,
Bagong Pook, San Jose, Maalas-as, Mavalor, San Carlos, Tiquiwan, Natu, Baybayin, Cahigam, Lumbangan,
Maligaya, Bayawang and portions of Mabato and San Isidro
Slope 8 -15%: Malaya, Sta. Cruz, Quilib and San Roque
Slope 15% and above: Antipolo, Calantas, Leviste, Matamis, Palakpak, Tulos, Mabunga, Nazi, Mayuro and
portions of San Isidro
The elevated portions are eastern barangays Mabunga, Mayuro, Nasi with portion of San Isidro; and
Slope acts as one of the indicators of soil erosion and sedimentation. Combined with vegetation cover and land
use, slope gives an indication of the susceptibility of an area to soil erosion during heavy rainfall. It is also a
major consideration in the selection of sites for urban and industrial development.
Soil Erosion
About 75 percent of the municipality experience none to slight erosion. Of its total area, only 25 percent have
moderate erosion and no area suffers from severe erosion. The following shows the erosion profile of the
municipality:

VII-B Barangay Cluster under the Barangay Development Network of Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 And
Beyond Program.
Rosario National High School is a large secondary school located in San Roque, Rosario, Batangas.
The school was established in the year 1996. The school site is within a portion of an area of 1500 sq.
meters donated by the former Mayor Rodolfo Villar. It is bounded by Bantok Creek in the north and a
vast stretch of farmland in the east, south, and west directions.
The school has fourteen constructed buildings. These are combinations of old and new structures,
some are for condemnations while others are still in good condition.
At
present, there are 1,512 school learners and 58 nationally funded personnel: one (1) school head, one
(1) head teacher III, forty-nine (49) teachers, and seven (7) non-teaching/school staff that comprise the
academic community of Rosario National High School. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school
shifted to Printed Modular Distance Learning (MDL) as its modality for teaching and learning for two
consecutive school years.
Earthquakes provide a unique set of difficulties for schools. They strike without notice, in contrast to
other natural or man-made risks. Schools cannot be closed or evacuated in advance. However, with
enough training and preparation in advance, the school community may be prepared to respond
correctly during and after an earthquake, with the necessary materials on hand. This Contingency Plan
discusses earthquake preparation at the school level and includes tools for integrating earthquakes into
your overall emergency planning.
II. Objectives
The School Disaster Risk Reduction Management team is a council charged with the responsibility of
ensuring the safety and security of the school's learners, teaching and non-teaching staff, and other
stakeholders. This Contingency Plan intends to increase the school community's readiness and
capacity to react constructively during natural-related threats such as earthquakes. This contingency
plan intends to increase awareness among students, teaching and non-teaching staff, and stakeholders
about what they will do in the event of a calamity while in the MDL during the occurrence of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically, this contingency plan was created in the light of the following objectives;
1. to ensure safety of all learners, employees and stakeholders and school facilities;
2. to safeguard and ensure the availability of vital materials, supplies and equipment to guarantee
the recovery of affected personnel/employees;
3. to protect vital and lifeline facilities and ensures the continuity of the organizations ability to
function after the disaster;
4. to elevate the morale and confidence of both learners and employees when traumatic events or
incident occurs; and
5. to tap stakeholders in the implementation of DRRM Contingency Plan.
