Iloilo City- Promoting road safety among the youth, the Provincial Task Force on Road Safety conducted an Educational Awareness Campaign and Theoretical Driving Seminar for Junior and Senior High School students of Oton National High School on June 9, 2025.
This initiative forms part of the Province of Iloiloโs comprehensive road safety program, guided by the three Eโs strategy: Education, Enforcement, and Engineering. The seminar offers a free Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) and provided participants with certificates, which serve as a requirement for applying for a student driverโs license. It also aims to educate young individuals on responsible road behavior, traffic regulations, and the fundamentals of safe driving practices.
Oton, identified as a high-risk area, records 268 road crash incidents in the first quarter of 2025, with several cases involving minors. These incidents often occur near residential zones, school premises, and along national roads that raised serious concerns for the safety of young people.

The program was also graced by Teacher Nessan Minerva, representing Oton National High School Principal Darwin Haro; Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) Head, Retired Police Colonel Cornelio Salinas; and LTO Region 6 Regional Enforcement Services Chief, Atty. Jehan Miranda.
