BUTUAN CITY — In a province facing intensifying natural hazards, a teacher from Hinatuan National Comprehensive High School (HNCHS) has drawn attention for an innovative approach to disaster education: comics.

Marloun Gasoc is among the educators selected to receive support from the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). His study, “Contextualized Comic-Themed Booklet as Supplementary Material in Enhancing Hydrometeorological Hazard Literacy for Grade 11 Students at HNCHS,” introduces preparedness concepts through a medium preferred by many young learners.
