This workshop is not just a gathering, but a celebration. A celebration of courage, of service, and of the incredible stories that lie behind the uniform and badge of every Filipino firefighter…In this digital age, storytelling is a powerful tool. It humanizes our service. It builds bridges of understanding…It preserves the legacy of our firefighters – stories that deserve to be heard, seen, and remembered.” – FSSUPT Edwin P. Vargas, Director, Fire Safety Enforcement
Tonight, the Top Ten Outstanding Firefighters will be announced and honored. My warmest congratulations to all the nominees and winners. Very proud of you all! Your stories are inspiring – truly the stories of heroes.
This video features the participants of Heroes in Focus: A Digital Storytelling Workshop for the Outstanding Firefighters of the Philippines, sponsored by SM Prime in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection, held last September.
Thank you, Atty. Pearl Jayagan, Senior Assistant Vice President for Corporate Compliance, SM Supermalls, for the opportunity, and to the BFP for the warm welcome and for recognizing the importance of digital storytelling in preserving and sharing the powerful stories of our firefighters.
