TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol — The earthquake drill on Wednesday struck a chord in 11-year-old Marydil Anne Dano. Dano, a Grade 6 pupil of Cogon Norte Elementary School in Loon town, recalled how they ran out of their house when the ground shook on Oct. 15, 2013. ADVERTISEMENTHer town, Loon, was one of the hardest-hit municipalities when a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit Bohol and killed at least 200 persons. When an earthquake drill was held on Wednesday, Dano was among 368 pupils who learned how to “drop, cover and hold” before heading to an open space outside the school. The earthquake drill was also held simultaneously in other schools and government offices in the province.
