ACTIVITIES FOR FIRE PREVENTION MONTH START

Olongapo firefighters and emergency response teams joined the Bureau of Fire Protection in its nationwide unity walk that ushered in the celebration of Fire Prevention Month.

Presidential Proclamation No. 115-A mandates the celebration of Fire Prevention Month every year, aimed at raising the level of public awareness on ways to prevent fires and save lives and properties.

With the theme “ Sunog at Sakuna ay Paghandaan, Kalikasan ay Pangalagaan nang Matamasa ang Pag-unland ng Bayan,” this year’s celebration focuses on the conduct of an intensive information campaign on how to prevent and fight fires.

Aside from the fire safety reminders that will be aired daily from March 1 to 31 at local radio stations, the BFP has also lined up the following activities:

MAR 04 BERONG BUMBERO SA PAARALAN (FIRE SAFETY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON ELEM/PRE-SCHOOLERS)

MAR 08-SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES IN THE FIRE PREVENTION MONTH PHOTO CONTEST

MAR 11 – 15 FIRE DRILL AND LECTURES IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS

MAR 12 – 14 3-DAY FIRE STATION OPEN HOUSE

MAR 18 - 22 UGNAYAN SA BARANGAY WITH HOUSE TO HOUSE FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION FOR SINGLE AND TWO FAMILY DWELLINGS

APR 01 CULMINATING ACTIVITY/ MASS/ AWARDING OF PRIZES

Meanwhile, here are a few useful tips to prevent fire:

1. Matches/flammable liquids/lighters/other combustible materials should be properly stored, kept away from children and pets, or disposed of completely;

2. Candles or lighted mosquito coils should never be left unattended, and should be placed away from curtains, paper, and other materials that easily catch fire;

3. Cigarette butts should be properly put out before disposing of them in trash bins;

4. Electrical wiring should be regularly checked by a licensed electrician;

5. Unplug appliances not in use;

6. Fire extinguishers should be placed in easily accessible places and everyone at home or in the office should know how to use them;

7. Fire drills, which include escape routes and mitigation measures, should be held regularly.

8. In the event of fire, one should know what immediate steps to take to keep it from spreading. Small fires may be extinguished by smothering the flame to keep it from spreading. Small fires may be extinguished by smothering the flame with a non-flammable item like a pot cover or a dampened towel or blanket.

9. Water should be used only for non-electrical fires and fires not caused by gasoline and similar combustible fluids. In the face of apparent danger, one should quickly run to a safe place and allow trained fire fighters to handle the situation.

Olongapo City - Women's Month

Women's Month 3.4.2013

Theme: “Kababaihan: Gabay sa Pagtahak sa Tuwid na Daan”.

GAPO ACQUIRES AUTOMATED WEATHER STATION

The Olongapo City government recently acquired a Davis Vantage Pro2, an Automated Weather Station (AWS), in line with Mayor Bong Gordon’s thrust to upgrade the city’s disaster risk reduction and management capability.

“The AWS and the forecasts from PAG-ASA will both be information sources that will help us reach speedy decisions regarding risk reduction,” said Mayor Gordon.

Installed at the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), the AWS can record the basic weather parameters of the locality.

Specifically, it can record the following: wind direction, wind force, prevailing temperature, 24-hour minimum/maximum temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall height, relative humidity, solar radiation and ultraviolet radiation (UV).

The AWS can also forecast the weather conditions of an area for the next hours.

The AWS is being maintained and monitored by a team of professionals composed of Irvin Paras from CDRRMO, Engr. Helson Canero from City Engineering Office, and Engr. Frances Eduarte from the City Planning and Development Office. It can be recalled that Mayor Gordon previously sent the said personnel to a training in Baguio City to learn the operation and maintenance of the AWS .

“The AWS can definitely help us in predicting the weather and in making appropriate decisions particularly in the suspension of classes during the rainy season and in the early evacuation of people residing near high-risk areas,” explained City Disaster Risk Reduction Officer Angie Layug.

JOB FAIR ON MARCH 8

The job fair will be held at the Rizal Triangle Covered Court from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

197 COUPLES SAY “I DO”

February 14 will always be a memorable date for the 197 couples who vowed to be by each other’s side forever at the 2012 Mass Wedding sponsored by the Olongapo City government and held at the Olongapo City Convention Center (OCCC).

Flower girls from the Early Childhood Care and Development Center showered the aisle with rose petals as the couples marched on the red-carpeted aisle, designed and set-up just for the occasion, as though they were attending a royal wedding.

Olongapo Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr. officiated the wedding ceremonies and also stood as sponsor, together with First Lady Anne Gordon.

City Councilors Rodel Cerezo, Tet Marzan-Estrella, Gina Perez, Ellen Dabu, Edic Piano and Edna Elane were also “ninongs” and “ninangs”, along with city government department heads.

After the wedding rings were sanctified through their promise to always love each other and the “I do’s” of matrimony were expressed in unison, Mayor Gordon finally pronounced the couples as husbands and wives.

“Dapat maging responsable ang bawat isa sa inyo, upang maging maayos ang inyong pamilya at pagbutihin ninyo ang inyong pag-gabay sa inyong mga anak para sa kanilang maayos na paglaki,” Ninong Bong advised the newly-weds.

“Upang pagkakaroon ng maayos na pagsasama, kailangan marunong makinig at may communication ang bawat mag-asawa. Kung marunong kang making, mas madaling maaayos ang anumang problema o di-pagkakaintindihan,” said Ninang Anne at the wedding reception.

Rielmar dela Cruz and Angelene Evalle, both 19 years old and the youngest pair among the happy couples, released the matrimonial doves while Apolinario Retiro, 66 and wife Rosalia (63), the oldest newly-weds, sliced the cake and led the ceremonial toast.

Each couple also had their portion of the wedding cake and wine as symbol of their commitment to share their lives together.

The Mass Wedding, held every year since 2004, has helped financially challenged Olongapeno couples to get married and consequently legitimize the status of their off-springs born out of wedlock.

THOUSANDS JOIN GAPO MILLION VOLUNTEER RUN

Olongapo City was swamped in a sea of red last February 10, 2013 when about 10,000 runners from all walks of life participated in the 2nd Million Volunteer Run organized nationwide by the Philippine Red Cross.

Red Cross Olongapo Chapter president Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr., together with First Lady Anne Gordon, led the kick-off program at Marikit Park where the run started.

The run ended at Ayala Harbor Point where Mayor Gordon gave out certificates of participation to the first 100 participants who made it to the finish line.

“Once again, Olongapo lived up to its reputation as the city of volunteers,” said Mayor Gordon. Addressing the huge crowd of runners, he added, “We hope that you will also support the Red Cross blood drives and volunteer to our 143 program.”

Red Cross 143 is a program designed to engage Filipinos into volunteerism as the country is one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.

Under the program, the agency recruits at least 44 volunteers in every community, comprised of one team leader and 43 members.

They undergo rigid hands-on training to be able to respond to and lead on-ground efforts during emergencies and other challenging situations

Meanwhile, PRC chairman Dick Gordon expressed his happiness and gratitude for the overwhelming support that the public has given the MVR all over the country. Some 700,000 runners participated in MVR 2, surpassing the success of MVR 1 which drew 400,000 volunteers.

The MVR was held in key cities in the country and served as an avenue to raise funds for PRC youth and volunteer trainings on disaster management and equipping every community with life-saving skills.
