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 executive department of the Cebu City Government is asking for an additional P205,974,032 for the Palarong Pambansa (Palaro). In a phone interview on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, City Councilor Noel Wenceslao, chairman of the committee on budget and finance, said Mayor Michael Rama already signed the request, which will be included in the first supplemental budget that has not yet been submitted to the City Council.The supplemental budget also includes the charter bonus of city employees.Wenceslao said the amount is on top of the approved P200 million allocated for the Palaro, which also covers the rehabilitation of the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC), the main venue of the annual multi-sport event. In a phone interview on Friday, Feb. 23, City Councilor Donaldo Hontiveros said the additional funding will cover the installation of LED outdoor-field lights at the CCSC amounting to P23 million, the construction and installation of digital-visual LED display with support frames and posts worth P135.186 million and the construction of the grandstand extension amounting to P47 million.The grandstand extension will be built on the N. Bacalso side of the CCSC, which is currently being used as a parking lot, Hontiveros said.He said the reason they requested additional funding is because these installations and constructions were not included in the initial P200 million budget when it was approved. “During the budget deliberations last year, we weren’t able to conduct a walkthrough with Mayor Mike of what he envisioned of the proposed venue for the opening. Then it was established that the closing ceremony will be at the SRP (South Road Properties),” he said in a mix of Cebuano and English.According to him, the budget for the Palaro is comprehensive, with a significant portion allocated for health services amounting to P5 million.He said another portion of the budget is allocated for technical officials and rental of playing venues, as well as purchase of sports equipment.He said more than a million is allocated for the janitorial services at the playing venues.Original budgetHe said the original budget covers the following:• A subsidy of P4.5 million for the regional athletic delegation; • P7.2 million for organizing the learning convention for athletes and student leaders; • Over P11 million for financial assistance to officials; • P5 million for food and accommodations for committee members from the central office; • P2 million as financial subsidy for the Cebu City schools division to cover meetings and conferences leading to the Palaro; • P20 million for rental and repair maintenance; • P15 million to cover expenses of the opening and closing ceremonies; • P22 million for shower rooms and portalets intended for use during the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association in May; and• P18 million for food for all personnel, as well as tokens, souvenirs, and other expenses.Hontiveros said the biggest portion of the initial budget will be spent on special events and other related activities, but he did not specify the amount or what the activities are.Once the rehabilitation and civil works at the CCSC and other sports facilities are completed, they hope Cebu City can host Asian competitions, he said. That’s why they are asking for additional funding, he added.After the memorandum of agreement for the hosting of the Palaro was signed last Feb. 2, Hontiveros said the City Government allocated a budget of P200 million for the games. John Pages, Cebu City Sports Commission chairman, said the budget would cover the improvement of the sports facilities and the 20 schools that would be used as billeting quarters, the rehabilitation of the CCSC, as well as the procurement of sports equipment.The Palaro is scheduled to take place from July 6-17, with an expected delegation of about 10,000 to 12,000 individuals, which will be composed of student-athletes and coaches.The schedule of events includes delegate arrivals on July 6 and 7, and solidarity meetings and refresher courses on July 7 and 8. The opening ceremony will be held on July 9 at the CCSC, but the 28-sport competition will not officially start until July 11 and end on 15. The closing ceremony on July 16 will be at the SRP, where this year’s Sinulog Festival was held. The delegations will depart on July 17.

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has designated two hours in the morning exclusively for senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWD), and pregnant women to cast their votes for the 2025 midterm elections, Comelec chairman George Garcia said Wednesday, March 13, 2024.In an interview with reporters in Quezon City, Garcia said that from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., only senior citizens, PWDs, and pregnant women would be allowed to cast their votes at all polling precincts nationwide, segregating them from the larger crowd.However, he said this does not mean that they will no longer be allowed to vote beyond the said hours.“Lahat po ng mga presinto sa buong Pilipinas boboto ang mga nakatatanda, may mga kapansanan at nagdadalang tao ng 5 a.m. hanggang 7 a.m., exclusive sa kanila,” said Garcia.(All precincts across the Philippines will allow the elderly, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women to vote exclusively from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.)“Pero hindi po nangangahulugan na kung ayaw man ng iba na bumoto ng ganung oras pwede pa rin silang bumoto sa regular na oras po,” he added.(But it does not mean that if others do not want to vote at that time, they can still vote during the regular hours.)Garcia said senior citizens and PWDs are also being given the option to cast their votes in Emergency Accessible Polling Places (EAPP), which are situated on the ground floor of the polling precincts.The Comelec said around 12 million senior citizens and 600,000 PWDs will exercise their right to suffrage during the midterm polls in May 2025.Garcia noted the importance of bringing voter registration closer to the people as he led the opening of Special Satellite Registration for Senior Citizens and PWDs in Quezon City.As of Wednesday, Garcia said 1.3 million new voters have registered ahead of the upcoming election.“It appears that we will be exceeding our estimate of 3 million,” he said.The voter registration will run until September 30.

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. How do I market my sports business? .
