In response to the spike in kidnapping cases during the 2023–2024 school year, Manuel Lugod Central School strengthened campus security by enforcing strict gate monitoring, limiting entry and exit, and implementing a “no ID, no entry” policy. The school coordinated closely with barangay officials and local police to increase patrol visibility during dismissal. Child safety seminars were conducted for learners and parents, focusing on avoiding strangers and reporting threats. Dismissal protocols were tightened, ensuring children left only with authorized guardians. These timely interventions led to zero reported kidnapping incidents in 2024–2025, restoring student and parent confidence in school safety.
