WHAT would you do if you were in a tragic situation? Most people would prioritize saving themselves and their loved ones, but Ryan Conson was different.Conson, a 38-year-old volunteer firefighter from Barangay Looc, Mandaue City, fearlessly ran through blazing houses and pavements to put out the fire in Sitio Under the Bridge, located underneath the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge (also known as the first bridge) on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.He was one of the first responders who rushed to the site of the fire, prioritizing the safety of the entire community over his own.Peaceful lunchAt the Looc Gym on Thursday, March 14, Conson spoke to the media about his experience during the Tuesday fire. On Tuesday afternoon, enjoying a quiet lunch at home, Conson suddenly noticed black smoke in a nearby area. Conson wasted no time in rushing to their fire truck at the Barangay Hall to investigate the black smoke.“Padung mi didtos nasunogan, dayon nag set up mi direcho. Mao nang dagan kos sulod, nitira ko dayon. Di na gyud namo matabang kay dako na kaayo ang kayo, unya kusog na kaayo ang hangin sad. Hapit pa gani among fire truck nasunog,” said Conson.(On the way to the area affected by the fire, we set up quickly. I ran inside the fire zone and trained my fire hose on the fire immediately. Unfortunately, the fire had already become too large and the wind was too strong. Our fire truck even almost caught fire.)Despite the danger, Conson and his team bravely attempted to extinguish the fire, but it quickly spiraled out of their control.Home lost As the situation worsened, Conson quickly ran back home and handed his family, especially his child, to his siblings for safety. Afterward, he returned to his firefighting duties.After a few minutes, Conson faced the worst experience a firefighter could ever go through. While he was busy saving other houses from the flames, he lost his house.Conson narrated the heartbreaking moment when he had to battle the fire to prevent it from engulfing his home of 20 years.But his composure never faltered in fighting the fire. This time, he was not only saving his community but also neighboring areas from losing their homes with the fire getting more aggressive, just like he was. More than 500 families were eventually displaced by the fire after it burned 370 houses.Rise of a heroConson has a day job working as a staff member at a motorboat port near his residence in addition to his job as a volunteer firefighter. He said the fire incident that occurred in Sitio Paradise, also in Barangay Looc, on Nov. 22, 2022, which was close to his neighborhood, inspired him to join the firefighting brigade in his barangay.The Paradise fire destroyed about 600 homes, displacing 2,737 individuals, making it one of the largest fire incidents in Cebu in 2022.“I volunteered because I really wanted to help people,” said Conson. He then trained in firefighting techniques at the Bureau of Fire Protection Mandaue Office. Conson works as a volunteer firefighter and receives an honorarium of P3,500 a month. He is on call for two shifts, day or night, and promptly responds to any fire incident, even those outside his barangay when the help of their fire brigade is required.For him, his small salary does not matter as he finds happiness in saving people in fire incidents.His most memorable assignment was the fire last Tuesday. Conson is now one of the 515 families affected by the fire who have found temporary refuge at the Looc Gymnasium. The Mandaue City Government is currently hosting evacuees at the gymnasium and nearby Cesar Cabahug Elementary School.Sadly, Conson and his family were unable to save any of their belongings and only escaped the fire with their lives.The first-degree burns on his left arm, which he did not notice until the fire was successfully extinguished, was the only souvenir of his heroic deed and Sitio Under the Bridge’s tragic fate.While waiting for help from the government and other individuals, Conson’s patriotic heart remains, as he chooses to still be a volunteer firefighter despite his experience.“This is a new chapter of my life, but I will continue to help other people. I have been a volunteer firefighter for a year now,” he said in Cebuano. The Gaming and Casino Industry in the Philippines Philippines THE Philippine National Police (PNP) assured on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent the spike of violent incidents involving firearms amid concerns in allowing civilians to own semi-automatic weapons.In a press conference, PNP Civil Security Group director Major General Benjamin Silo Jr. said the current safety measures being implemented by the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) before and after owning those firearms are more than sufficient to protect the public from possible harm.“The stand of CSG and FEO [is] there are more than sufficient safety measures before and after owning. I think we are just protecting the public of their rights because under the law, they are allowed. We cannot do otherwise but implement the different provisions of RA (Republic Act) 10591,” Silo said.“We just corrected the IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations) because the law allows it. The IRR should also allow it. The problem here is way back 2018, the revised IRR limit the ownership to sports shooters only na hindi sinasabi ng batas. So we just simply amended ‘yung particular provision na yun. We go back to comply with the real intent of the framers of the law,” he added.Silo noted that among the requirements for acquiring firearms are passing the neuro-psychological tests and drug tests. Applicants are also required to submit a police clearance, which will ensure that they are not facing any criminal charges.“Right now, we requested the DIDM. Tinitingnan namin for five years ilan ba ang crimes na nacommit using 7.62 caliber down with semi-automatic mode. We are just waiting pero sa tingin ko very isolated itong paggamit,” he said.“Those who can own are only those who passed our neuro, drug test and then after passing and owning those firearms, mas marami hong restrictions kasi andaming grounds for revocation. If I have to mention, if they commit crimes involving the use of firearms automatically ground na po para irevoke yan. Kung convicted naman sila sa crimes involving moral turpitude or penalty exceeding six years, i-rerevoke din namin yan. Ngayon kung may naviolate silang any provision ng drug law natin referring to RA 9165, ground din yan sa revocation at kung pagmamay-ari na nila ito, dapat hindi nila dalhin sa labas kung wala silang PTCFOR (Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence),” he added.In a separate press conference, PNP chief of the Public Information Office Colonel Jean Fajardo said they are looking at the amendment of the IRR as a preventive measure against the proliferation of loose firearms, as there were individuals owning such caliber but failed to register it due to the earlier prohibition.As of February 16, 2024, there were 703,703 expired firearms registrations.“The intention really here is gusto rin natin inadvocate ‘yung responsible gun ownership dito sa ating ipinush na amendment and in fact, umaasa rin tayo na mga lisensya and registration for those civilians na in possession nitong mga ganitong klaseng baril ay maeenganyo na rin sila irehistro at kumuha ng License To Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) of this particular category para mabawasan ‘yung mga nandun sa category ng loose firearms kasi kapagka hindi niyo nairenew yung mga lisensya at rehistro ng mga baril, itong mga baril na ito will be categorized as loose firearms,” Fajardo said.Earlier, Senator Imee Marcos and Francis Tolentino criticized the PNP’s decision to allow civilians to own firearms not more than 7.62mm or M14.Marcos feared the possible increase in criminality, terrorism, arms smuggling, and widespread violence especially ahead of the 2025 elections.She said it also complicates the government’s effort to decommission rebel firearms."The PNP is shooting itself in the foot and compromising law enforcement efficiency and, above all, public safety," Marcos said."Do we want a proliferation of shooting violence like in the US? Who is lobbying for firearms manufacture and imports?" she asked.Meanwhile, Silo also said that the validity of License to Own and Possess Firearms has been extended to five years to 10 years, from one to two years.This means that instead of renewing LTOFP within one or two years, gun owners are given five to 10 years before renewal.

Online Casino in the Philippines Selection Criteria

THE Philippine National Police (PNP) assured on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, that sufficient safeguards are in place to prevent the spike of violent incidents involving firearms amid concerns in allowing civilians to own semi-automatic weapons.In a press conference, PNP Civil Security Group director Major General Benjamin Silo Jr. said the current safety measures being implemented by the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) before and after owning those firearms are more than sufficient to protect the public from possible harm.“The stand of CSG and FEO [is] there are more than sufficient safety measures before and after owning. I think we are just protecting the public of their rights because under the law, they are allowed. We cannot do otherwise but implement the different provisions of RA (Republic Act) 10591,” Silo said.“We just corrected the IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations) because the law allows it. The IRR should also allow it. The problem here is way back 2018, the revised IRR limit the ownership to sports shooters only na hindi sinasabi ng batas. So we just simply amended ‘yung particular provision na yun. We go back to comply with the real intent of the framers of the law,” he added.Silo noted that among the requirements for acquiring firearms are passing the neuro-psychological tests and drug tests. Applicants are also required to submit a police clearance, which will ensure that they are not facing any criminal charges.“Right now, we requested the DIDM. Tinitingnan namin for five years ilan ba ang crimes na nacommit using 7.62 caliber down with semi-automatic mode. We are just waiting pero sa tingin ko very isolated itong paggamit,” he said.“Those who can own are only those who passed our neuro, drug test and then after passing and owning those firearms, mas marami hong restrictions kasi andaming grounds for revocation. If I have to mention, if they commit crimes involving the use of firearms automatically ground na po para irevoke yan. Kung convicted naman sila sa crimes involving moral turpitude or penalty exceeding six years, i-rerevoke din namin yan. Ngayon kung may naviolate silang any provision ng drug law natin referring to RA 9165, ground din yan sa revocation at kung pagmamay-ari na nila ito, dapat hindi nila dalhin sa labas kung wala silang PTCFOR (Permit to Carry Firearms Outside Residence),” he added.In a separate press conference, PNP chief of the Public Information Office Colonel Jean Fajardo said they are looking at the amendment of the IRR as a preventive measure against the proliferation of loose firearms, as there were individuals owning such caliber but failed to register it due to the earlier prohibition.As of February 16, 2024, there were 703,703 expired firearms registrations.“The intention really here is gusto rin natin inadvocate ‘yung responsible gun ownership dito sa ating ipinush na amendment and in fact, umaasa rin tayo na mga lisensya and registration for those civilians na in possession nitong mga ganitong klaseng baril ay maeenganyo na rin sila irehistro at kumuha ng License To Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF) of this particular category para mabawasan ‘yung mga nandun sa category ng loose firearms kasi kapagka hindi niyo nairenew yung mga lisensya at rehistro ng mga baril, itong mga baril na ito will be categorized as loose firearms,” Fajardo said.Earlier, Senator Imee Marcos and Francis Tolentino criticized the PNP’s decision to allow civilians to own firearms not more than 7.62mm or M14.Marcos feared the possible increase in criminality, terrorism, arms smuggling, and widespread violence especially ahead of the 2025 elections.She said it also complicates the government’s effort to decommission rebel firearms."The PNP is shooting itself in the foot and compromising law enforcement efficiency and, above all, public safety," Marcos said."Do we want a proliferation of shooting violence like in the US? Who is lobbying for firearms manufacture and imports?" she asked.Meanwhile, Silo also said that the validity of License to Own and Possess Firearms has been extended to five years to 10 years, from one to two years.This means that instead of renewing LTOFP within one or two years, gun owners are given five to 10 years before renewal.
