Hello Hivers! Miss me? Maybe yes, maybe not hahaha charr. Guess what? Today, I wanted to share with you guys my experience and why did I chose to join the BCC DRRMO. So stay tuned!
Hi everyone! I was a part of the BCC DRRMO, which is our topic for today's blog. First of all, why did I join this organization? Well, I joined this organization because, when I was in high school, I was a part of RCY or Red Cross Youth at our school in Luisa Medel National High School. When I found out that they have trainings for free, I suddenly decided to join, after all, I already have basic knowledge when it comes to Basic Life Support and I wanted to learn more about this field.
Our training was done for only 3 days at school. Despite having a little time, I am still grateful because I have learned a lot of things like bandaging, splinting, vital signs taking, types of carrying, splashing of water out of the fire truck, and carrying a patient going to the ambulance. Throughout this experience, I have also started to change those ways that I have known which was actually wrong when it comes in emergency response. Thanks to Sir J for teaching me, and guiding me, and believing in me, and also to 
Throughout the year, we had a lots of duties inside and outside the school, so I have encountered a lot of patients that had different industries, illnesses, and mental health issues. I have also experienced teaching other people on how to do the basic life support. Teaching other students just like me has been my passion, which is why I chose to become a teacher in the future, but teaching them made me nervous for first time, and it was with my juniors. As time goes by, I have started to adapt teaching emergency response or emergency life support because I am surrounded by people who tend to talk about what to do with patients with such kind of conditions or emergencies.
One more thing, we are also the ones who are in charge of conducting the earthquake drill and fire drill on every campus of BCC which is the Taculing Campos, Sum-ag Campus, and the Fortune town Campus of the BCC.
Through this organization, I also had experience to standby as a medic at the Masskara festival here in Bacolod City, and I found it quite fun because we are able to see artists and at the same time, we are able to help those people in needs around the event. Doing this job is fun but it was really tiring at the same time.
In this organization, we encountered a lot of challenges and even hardships because a lot of people keeps on dragging us down, but we keeps on fighting and evolving from Medics to BCC DRRMO, BCC DRRMO to BCC DRRMO-REACT, BCC DRRMO-REACT and now to BCC-SDRRMU.
I have understood that this job wasn't an easy one, joining here needs a lot of courage and determination to serve for the people and we believe in "Service Before Self".
