- About Me:
- A volunteer firefighter for more than 14 years, loved serving others and making a difference in our area.
I volunteered to some units around the city and then finally home and finally went back were I've started.
I've wished this will be my professional career. But because of our Fire / EMS situation - no national law yet, no standard in EMS. So the salary is very low not enough to give a decent living to a family. So I just pursue my present career in I.T. industry but still continue to play active role in EMS in my volunteer capacity.

EMS Law in the Philippines ....Soon a reality
Posted on March 23, 2010 at 6:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
After 12 years of waiting, the Emergency Medical Service Law will be soon a reality. As I look around yesterday on the net. I've stumble upon some links from our Congress that they have published a third and final reading of this new law, with it some news releases links I've found. Finally! As a country more prone to natural disaster like recently the "big flood" because of typhoon Ketsana last September last year, and a new threat - terrorism. It's about time to uplift the standard of our… Continue

When I was going down the stairs then I've heard a ringing and felt a dizzy sensation then I realize it was an earthquake. I ran downstairs in a heartbeat because I was almost at… Continue

Fire ground conflict in the Philippines was a all time issue plague the career vs. volunteer units for a long time. Volunteer units which is approximately 70 % more than the gov't counterpart - majority of which in the national capital region which is Metro Manila. Although, we get the job done most of the time. Fighting fire side by side with our career counterparts has the cold and uneasy feelings is still there. But the question of efficiency, liability, dormant resources, injuries, and… Continue
