Today, TXTFIRE Philippines proudly participated in a pivotal forum hosted by the Manila City Hall Reporter’s Association (MACHRA) at the picturesque Harbor View Restaurant in Manila. This significant event, spearheaded by MACHRA President Ms. Itchie Cabayan and Vice President Mr. Andi Garcia, commenced at 10 AM and marked a collaborative effort in enhancing fire safety awareness in our communities.

The forum featured our very own representative, Mr. Gerik Chua, alongside BFP Manila City Fire Marshall Christine Doctor Cula. Their combined expertise offered an in-depth exploration of fire safety measures, emergency response strategies, and the critical role of community engagement in fire prevention.

As we approach Fire Prevention Month, the discussions were particularly timely and resonated with our ongoing efforts to educate and prepare the public for fire-related emergencies. The speakers delved into various aspects of fire prevention, highlighting the importance of readiness and the need for proactive measures to safeguard our neighborhoods.

A standout moment of the forum was the interactive Q&A session, where the press engaged with our experts on a range of topics, from practical fire safety tips to the larger scope of urban fire management. The insightful exchange of ideas underscored the importance of open communication and collaboration between emergency services, the media, and the public.

This event not only served as an educational platform but also reinforced the bond between TXTFIRE Philippines, the BFP, and the media in our joint mission to promote safety and preparedness. The forum emphasized the vital role each of us plays in building a fire-safe community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to MACHRA for organizing this event and for their ongoing commitment to public safety. Such initiatives are instrumental in fostering a culture of safety and vigilance that extends beyond just one month of the year.

As we move forward, TXTFIRE Philippines remains dedicated to this cause, working hand-in-hand with our partners and the community to ensure a safer environment for all.

Stay informed and stay safe.
