My Daily Job

first aid training

Being a paramedic is really a challenging job. You can never tell what kind of action you will encounter each duty day. There were also times that we have no runs but its very rare that not to have an ambulance call each duty.


I also conduct lectures on First aid, CPR and Firefighting since I was designated to become one of the Instructors of the rescue unit. I deliver lectures to our new volunteers as well as to different companies, schools, organization who request for training and seminars on different lifesaving courses.


This is an actual emergency response involving a vehicular accident. There were 4 people who died during this accident and several injured victims. We conducted triage at the site and transported the victims to the hospital.

That is me (2nd from left) during the transport of an injured victim. The picture is a scanned picture from a local newspaper (Sunstar Daily) published in our city.

Rescue Unit in Lapu-lapu

Considering the need of effective and swift emergency medical services, the local government of Lapu Lapu decided to open up a branch of our rescue unit in their city. Me, being a resident of the place, was one of the pioneer paramedics assigned in the station.

This picture was taken during a rescue demonstration at the old Lahug airport in Cebu City. It was during one of the anniversaries of our rescue unit that we held this rescue demonstration.

I have graduated from my accountancy course but instead of concentrating on my field of education I decided to stick it out with the rescue unit. I have undergone several training from basic to advance first aid as well as basic to advance firefighting. I have also undergone advance cardiac life support course and other related lifesaving procedures. That is me on the center, as featured by one of the daily newspapers. We were actually demonstrating Advance Cardiac Life Support procedure using an intubation manequen and an ECG simulator.
