In coordination with the Pilipinas Shell Foundation, the City Government of Puerto Princesa is currently hosting the first ever Junior Rescue Camp at the Ramon V. Mitra Sports Complex. The said activity, which runs from October 14 to 16, aims to train student participants in the areas of first aid, road safety, fire safety and disaster risk reduction management.

“I’m really thankful that the City Government helped us make this activity bigger,” said Marvi Rebueno- Trudeau, Program Manager of Pilipinas Shell Foundation.

Aside from the said organization and the city government, other government agencies are also participating in the event, including the City Traffic Management, Department of Education, Red Cross, JCI, Bureau of Fire and Protection and City Disaster Risk Reduction Management.

One of the potential results of the activity will be the formulation of DRRM coordinator for each school in the city, with the ultimate goal of making efficient coordination towards a safer environment in Puerto Princesa City.
