00:06As the saying goes, even if it's not Christmas, it will bring good luck.
00:12It's the wish of a fire volunteer in Cebu.
00:15His service will go on even if it's burned.
00:18That's why this Christmas, let's get to know each other better.

00:29Fire alarm sound
00:32More than 500 families or more than 1,600 individuals
00:36lost their homes in a big fire in Barangay Looc in Mandaue City, Cebu last March.
00:44Alarm sound
00:50The fire was raised to the third alarm.
00:52One of the first to respond was volunteer firefighter Ryan Conson, who was on duty.
01:00He was hit in the body.
01:02And when the fire was extinguished,
01:04Ryan was also one of the first to respond to the fire in Barangay Looc Gym.
01:11His house was also burned.
01:14It's really hard because you helped other people
01:20and now your house is gone.
01:22It's on fire.
01:24I lost my son.
01:26Even though he lost his home,
01:28he was thankful that his whole family was saved
01:31and they will celebrate Christmas together.
01:34Whatever happens, I will continue to serve.

01:44After a month, Ryan and his family are slowly recovering
01:50with the help of people with good intentions.
01:55For the Barangay Chairman of Looc,
01:57Ryan's sacrifice is unforgivable.
02:00What Ryan is showing is really a determination of a volunteer job.
02:07Despite what happened to him,
02:13but he continued to serve as a fire volunteer.
02:17He is part of the Employee of the Year,
02:19Most Outstanding Employee of the Year of 2024 here in Barangay Looc.

02:27This Christmas and the new year,
02:30Ryan is hoping for a better life for his family
02:35and all the victims of the fire.
02:39No matter what happens,
02:41as long as we are together and enjoy Christmas,
02:46we should be happy because it's Christmas.
