"BE PREPARED. STAY ALERT. SAVE LIVES."
LOOK: On August 3, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN, the Somerset Valero Makati successfully conducted a seminar on Bomb Threat Awareness, Active Shooter Response, and Robbery Incident Response for its Active Tenants, Employees, and security personnel, in close partnership with the Makati City Police Station, held at the Somerset Valero Makati Function Room, Salcedo Village, Barangay Bel-Air, Makati City.
The activity aimed to raise awareness and equip participants with the knowledge and appropriate responses for emergency situations. Through this seminar, participants learned the importance of staying calm, following safety protocols, and working together to ensure everyone's safety.
Under the leadership of PCOL PEDRO A ALAGANO, JR., the Chief of Police of the Makati City Police Station, an important awareness campaign was launched to prepare the community for potential threats. The Makati SWAT Team took the lead, introducing the essential "Run, Hide, Fight" principle. This proactive strategy equips individuals to respond effectively during an active shooter situation and underscores the vital importance of prevention and preparedness. The session continued with an informative discussion by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit (EOD), led by PLT FERDINAND D ANAMONG. Participants learned how to identify, manage, and report bomb threats and gained insight into the serious legal implications of false alarms. Under Presidential Decree No. 1727, attendees were educated on the laws addressing bomb scare incidents and the critical steps required for safe evacuation. To wrap up the activity, the Community Affairs Section, led by PCPT PAMELA C LEAL, delivered an informative lecture on Robbery Incident Response. This engaging discussion armed participants with knowledge, fostering a sense of community vigilance and preparedness across the City.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the heads of Somerset Valero Makati for their unwavering support for safety awareness initiatives. Your strong leadership and commitment to ensuring a safe and secure working environment for all employees, security personnel, and even its beloved tenants are deeply appreciated.
The Makati City Police Station will continue its inspiring partnership with the private sector and the community by sharing its expertise and collaborating to enhance emergency preparedness and awareness. Together, let us continue to build a strong, safe, vigilant, prepared, and resilient community.
Understanding Saves Lives.
