When crisis struck, preparation became the first line of
defense.
Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), through the CMC Lions Red
Cross Youth Council, conducted “Commitment to Manage Crisis: Emergency Response
Skills Enhancement Training” on September 5, 2026, at the Students’ Activity
Center.
In partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP),
student volunteers received practical instruction in fire prevention and
safety, basic firefighting, basic first aid, and immediate emergency response.
BFP personnel facilitated discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on activities
that strengthened the participants’ knowledge, confidence, teamwork,
discipline, and leadership.
The training prepared students to remain composed, assess
risks, make informed decisions, and respond responsibly during fires, injuries,
and other emergencies. It also reflected CMC’s commitment to developing capable
volunteers who were ready to serve and protect their communities.
The initiative advanced SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 4:
Quality Education, SDG 5: Gender Equality, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the
Goals through inclusive, skills-based learning and meaningful collaboration
with the BFP.
Preparedness was confidence built before the emergency began.
Choose CMC, where students were prepared to respond, serve, and
protect when it mattered most.
