SIFCARE Volunteers Forge Resilience: Local Volunteers Complete Basic Disaster Preparedness Training
San Juan, La Union | November 2, 2025
SIFCARE successfully hosted a productive Disaster Preparedness Training yesterday, gathering a dedicated group of volunteers from SIFCare (La Union, Baguio, and Pangasinan), DOERS, CURMA, and the wider Surftown community.
Present to inspire and support the participants were SIFCare Regional Coordinator Ma’am Mila Celeste and SIFCare Programs Specialist Sir Toby Tamayo.
The six-hour training session was led by WISAR Co-Founder and SIFCare volunteer Mr. Vicente “Buboy” Lagunday, whose deep, real-world expertise in search and rescue has been honed through years of service. His teaching, grounded in both technical skill and compassion, embodied the spirit of volunteer leadership that SIFCARE upholds.
Participants gained vital knowledge and hands-on experience in essential emergency response skills, including:
-
CPR
-
Trauma care and stabilization
-
Go-bag preparation and essentials
In a disaster-prone country like the Philippines, preparedness is not an option—it is a necessity. Every trained individual becomes a valuable resource, helping to strengthen the resilience of their entire community.
The event, held at the Project CURMA Information Center, exemplified SIFCARE’s mission to foster action motivated by compassion and highlighted the strength of collaboration among local volunteer groups.
SIFCARE extends its heartfelt gratitude to Sir Buboy Lagunday for sharing his invaluable expertise and to all volunteers who dedicated their Sunday to service. Your commitment to preparedness reflects the truest form of community wellness and compassion in action.
