Basically, thanksgiving is an American holiday! For us there are lot of things to thank about everything. The month of November will be a significant event for us. Our early completion of monthly payment of our first and very own - dubbed The Alliance Tanker (picture at front page). This is one of our achievement so far since our brigade was conceived last November 2006. We have completed a one-year project for full acquisition of this fire apparatus. We have experience ups and down with this fire apparatus. Meeting up with a monthly obligations is not a walk in a park. Plus, to make our truck tip top shape for fire operations. Our brigade, undertook fund raising campaigns, employing several ways to meet up with our monthly obligations. In our difficult time, our group was tested dearly, our wit, our patience, our perseverance and above all faith. Some of us left and some of us took a stand for what we believe. One thing would like to mentioned, the achievement was made possible by the ordinary members - our firefighters. Who have took the initiative to make our first fire apparatus. In full operations state and made a turning point to complete our first project.

Our brigade - Pasig Alliance Fil-Chinese Volunteer Fire Prevention Brigade, Inc. would like to thank the community, our friends, firefighters everywhere, friends I've met in FFN through their prayer support Jessica Travis and FF Schoen and especially to our Divine Providence for a lot of miracles for keeping our men and women safe at all times.

THANK YOU!
