URBAN FIRE AND RESCUE OLYMPICS

March 25, 2023 | San Isidro, Parañaque

JCI Manila has once again successfully organized a meaningful and impactful project, the JCI Manila Community Responders Challenge - Urban Fire and Rescue Olympics, held on March 25, 2023, in San Isidro, Parañaque. The project was headed by Chairman Gus Jaleco, along with committee members Seisuke Ogawa and Ernest Platon.

The project aimed to provide the necessary training and resources for the community to be able to respond promptly to emergencies while waiting for government assistance to arrive. Over 250 community members participated in the Olympics, which included training and competition.

The project was made possible through the partnership with 8E Emergency, who provided an innovative app that enables the community to reach out to responders, volunteers, and fellow community members to provide immediate support to those in need. The event was also graced by the presence of Miss Earth 2015 Angelia Ong and Miss Earth - Philippines 2016 Stephanie Gerona-Platon, who shared the importance of such projects with the community.

The success of the project would not have been possible without the support of the local government o cials, Congressman Edwin Olivarez, JCI Manila members Councilor Paolo Olivarez and Councilor Jet Frias, and Councilor Nina Sotto. They all played an invaluable role in endorsing and supporting the project in the target community.

Chairman Noel Japlos was also recognized for his steadfast support and leadership on this initiative. JCI Manila Community Responders Challenge - Urban Fire and Rescue Olympics was a resounding success in empowering the community to be more resilient and prepared in responding to emergencies.

Various organizations and institutions recognize the tireless e orts of teachers in shaping the future of the country. One such recognition program is JCI Manila’s the Ten Outstanding Guro Awards (TOGA), which celebrates the unsung heroes who have dedicated their lives to teaching.

TOGA program was held in Mabalacat Elementary School on March 25 and in Fernando Amorsolo Senior High School on March 31. The program aims to recognize teachers who have gone above and beyond in their profession, showing exceptional dedication to their students and their craft.

At Mabalacat Elementary School, the TOGA program was a resounding success. The program recognized outstanding teachers from the school who have shown exceptional dedication. JCI Manila included a training session at Mabalacat Elementary School for all the teachers in the community. The training session covered topics such as e ective teaching strategies, classroom management techniques, and innovative teaching tools. The program was well-received by the teachers, who expressed their gratitude for the recognition and the training provided.
