Ang Bumbero ng Pilipinas (ABP) Party will conduct free trainings in communities on proper preparedness and quick response to fire emergencies, in celebration of Fire Prevention Month in March.

With the strong advocacy of "For a safer Philippines" and its theme "Pag-iwas sa sunog, hindi ka nag-iisa," the ABP is committed to equip every household member in effective response to fires, earthquakes, floods, and other calamities and proper use of fire extinguishers. 

“Kailangang magkakabuklod ang bawat Pilipino sa pagtugon na may sapat na kaalaman at kahandaan sa mga kalamidad (We need all Filipinos to unite in responding with enough knowledge and preparedness in facing disasters),” said ABP first nominee Jose Antonio "Ka Pep” Goitia.

The ABP aims to provide unparalleled services in saving lives through a coalition of firefighters, fire rescuers, and volunteers. 

Goitia also lauded its members who, he said, provide "apostolic work" because of the imminent danger and the potential risks to their lives when responding to disasters.

Meanwhile, the ABP party list also seeks to advocate for more benefits, insurance, and medical assistance for its members, as they currently receive minimal allowances and no salaries for the services they provide to the public, despite being considered the unsung heroes of fire incidents.

With the continuous support they are receiving, Goitia believes that ABP will continue to rise in surveys and eventually break into the Top 10, due to the party list’s noble goal of making the Philippines a safer place. 

ABP officials cited that with the leadership of Ka Pep Goitia, Lenin Bacud, Jose Mari Antonio Goitia, Carl Gene Moreno Plantado, and Howie Quimzon Manga, they reached the 14th spot in a survey conducted from February 11-14 by Tangere, while ranking between 24th and 25th in a survey by Octa Research, a trusted independent, non-profit public research organization.
