As part of the Linggo ng Kabataan 2026 celebration, the Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) of Jose Abad Santos, in partnership with the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation, continues to empower the youth through meaningful and life-saving learning opportunities. This Standard First Aid Training is one of our initiatives to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond during emergencies—especially timely as our community continues to face challenges brought by recent disasters.

Day 2 brought our young participants deeper into the practical side of first aid, focusing on musculoskeletal injuries, splinting, drowning, shock and special emergencies, transferring the injured, and proper lifting and moving techniques. Through hands-on skills practice, teamwork, group activities, and practical exercises, the participants were challenged to turn what they learned into skills that can be useful when help is needed most.
More than just a training, this is part of our commitment to build a generation of young people who are prepared, responsible, and ready to serve their community. 💙

Kabataan nga Handa. Kabataan nga May Kaalaman. Kabataan nga Handa Moserbisyo.

Recognizing the importance of having a prepared, capable, and responsive youth sector, the Local Government Unit of Jose Abad Santos, through the Local Youth Development Office (LYDO), in partnership with the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation, initiated the Empowered Youth: Standard First Aid Training. This initiative comes at a particularly meaningful and timely moment for our municipality, especially following the recent challenges and calamities experienced by our communities. More than simply providing training, the program aims to equip our young people with practical knowledge, confidence, and a sense of responsibility so they can become valuable partners in promoting safety, preparedness, and community resilience.

Day 1 was filled with valuable lessons, practical knowledge, teamwork, and hands-on activities designed to equip our youth with essential first aid skills that can be useful during emergencies and in times when immediate assistance is needed.

Our sincere appreciation goes to our dedicated trainers and speakers who shared their knowledge and expertise throughout the day. Mr. Harold R. Estillore, RSW discussed Introduction to STANDARD FIRST AID & EMERGENCY ACTION PRINCIPLE, followed by Mr. Zerick M. Guardados, who discussed COMMON MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. Ms. Maria Anita C. Pilande tackled ANIMAL BITES & POISONING, while Ms. Fennie B. Castañares, RN shared important knowledge on WOUNDS, BLEEDING & HEMORRHAGE CONTROL. Our participants also learned about HEAD, NECK & ABDOMINAL EMERGENCIES through the session of Ms. Alyssa May M. Juban, RMT, and BURNS & BASIC BURN MANAGEMENT through Mr. Jason B. Sioco, RN. To further develop their practical skills, Ms. Steff Louise D. Pañares guided the participants through BANDAGING: PRINCIPLES, TYPES & APPLICATIONS.

The afternoon became even more meaningful as our participants put their learning into practice through bandaging skills, group activities, team preparation, and team huddles—strengthening not only their knowledge but also their confidence, teamwork, and readiness to help others. 🤝❤️‍🩹

This training is more than learning first aid. It is about empowering young people to be prepared, to respond, and to serve when their community needs them most.
