Bureau of Fire Protection Manila Fire District chief Aristotle Banaga, deputy chief Leo Andiso and operations chief officer Michael Ignacio visited the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) in Binondo on July 3, 2024.
FFCCCII president Dr. Cecilio Pedro highlighted the Filipino-Chinese community’s “three treasures”—donation of school rooms, free medical services and fire volunteers.
Pedro promised that the chamber would continue to uphold the said values and contribute positively to the mainstream society.
Both parties exchanged ideas and expressed their willingness to cooperate further.
Six months ago, former Manila Fire District chief Christine Doctor Cula sought assistance from FFCCCII on a fire truck with a malfunctioning ladder, which was hindering its rescue operations.
Pedro responded by assigning a team to address the issue.
The chamber contacted the truck distributor, imported the necessary parts and dispatched mechanics to repair the fire truck.
