00:00I'm curious, Wendell, is it right? Aren't you also a firefighter and a fire volunteer?
00:07Yes, I'm a fire volunteer.
00:10How did you get into that? I mean, how did you think of wanting to be a fire volunteer?
00:15Because when we cover fires, it's really hard to cover it.
00:20What more is a fire volunteer? And what I know is that fire volunteers are very active.
00:26And fire volunteers are really needed because sometimes, of course, the BFP also needs a body, right?
00:33Yes, yes. That's true, Ms. Pia.
00:36I was really involved there with my friends from Manila, from Sampaloc.
00:41And this was a pandemic time, so it was a bit more relaxed.
00:45There were still some restrictions.
00:48So I was involved there.
00:50Like I said, I couldn't do anything during the pandemic, I couldn't share.
00:54Not all of us were sure until that time.
00:58So I wanted to do something. What can I give?
01:01I didn't give them during the pandemic, right?
01:04There were people who came to us, but you didn't give them everything.
01:07Because you can't give them whatever they need because I'm not in a position to give what I have.
01:15A little, but I had to keep for myself also, for my family also.
01:20So what can I give them now that I'm not a politician?
01:25What can I give them?
01:27Oh, I was also there. I was actually inspired by the first front...
01:33What do they call this?
01:34Our frontliners.
01:35Frontliners.
01:36Yes, I was inspired by them.
01:38Because life at that time, it's late, the world is going to be fun, right?
01:42So I have a lot of friends who are frontliners.
01:45There were nurses, even our policemen, even our barangay people.
01:49It wasn't a joke.
01:51So I volunteered.
01:53We held hands for a while, but we hugged each other again.
01:57I was already there, I couldn't leave.
02:00And in that part, I said, Lord, now that we're alive, what can I share with them?
02:07So maybe that's the only time I can give my service.
02:12And to inspire also, my fellow volunteers.
02:17I just want to give them this credit that, of course, I'm the new one to them.
02:22Because, Ms. Tia, it's fun, no one is forcing you.
02:26Even if you own a house, you haven't finished your studies, you're just poor in life,
02:31you're not that rich, you're rich.
02:34You can serve, you can serve, right?
02:36You can do a lot.
02:38When you're a firefighter, it's not just about serving.
02:42Like you've said, you're the life of the family, the life of the Philippines.
02:47So it really boosts you.
02:49So maybe that's why I joined.
02:51I just gave them a boost.
02:54Your companions.
02:56My companions.
02:57Hey, you're the star here.
02:59If you watch us on TV, you're the star here.
03:02I'm just new here, I'll join you.
03:04Your job is not equal to your salary.
03:09Wow.
03:10And that's why, Ms. Tia, volunteers don't get paid.
03:16So if there's an alarm, if there's a fire, or if there's an emergency,
03:21people will automatically go.
03:24It's not lucky.
03:25No one can replace you.
03:26Usually, thank you.
03:27Which is, I've experienced that.
03:29Yes.
03:30It's just a habit.
03:32Yes.
03:33Do you have training for that?
03:34Yes, of course.
03:35There is.
03:36It can't be without training.
03:38So it's in our neighborhood, in our area.
03:41That's why, those who became, well, it's a different story.
03:46That's what I hope our government will push for.
03:50To have it regularly.
03:52Because even kids, you can be a TikToker, you can be a...
03:56You know, after school, or you're in your court, or outside your house,
04:01you can hang out with your friends.
04:03There's something you can do.
04:04You can serve.
04:05You can serve.
04:06If we don't have the right facility, not everyone can have training.
04:11Because training is continuous.
