FIRST AID - Our Night Shift tangerine team was called to assist a mauling victim at a resto-bar in Kayang. We brought the heavily intoxicated victim to our tent at the entrance of Hilltop and immediately contacted the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ambulance crew.
After receiving initial medical attention from EMS, we decided to es**rt the victim to San Carlos Heights to prevent him from wandering around the market.

CLEAN UP - Our tangerine team conducts regular cleanups in their area of responsibility (AOR) before ending their shift. We constantly appeal to our Baguio residents and visitors alike to help keep our city clean. We encourage them to take their garbage and trash with them until they reach their homes and dispose of it along with household waste.

RAIN OR SHINE, COMMUNITY SERVICE MUST GO ON | Our Tangerine Team has responded to the request of our senior citizens at barangay San Luis to fix and replace the dilapidated rain gutters of their Senior Citizens Association office. Our team decided to push through with the work despite the unfavorable weather conditions as we cannot predicted when the sun will shine next.

STUDENT HELPS TO THE RESCUE OLD WOMAN - Our tangerine team was approached by a student who reported that an elderly woman was having difficulty climbing the stairs of the "O" shape overpass at the Harrison-Ganza side on Wednesday. We accompanied the student to check on the woman and moved her to a waiting shed for comfort.

Our team assessed her condition and immediately called 911 for an ambulance. While we waited, a group of student nurses volunteered to assist the elderly woman. However, as the ambulance was taking longer than expected, we decided to transport her to the hospital with the help of one of the student nurses.

NEED A TOW, SIR? - Our tangerine mobile team was on patrol when they spotted a stranded vehicle that wouldn't start along Teacher's Camp. The team quickly assessed the situation and tried everything they could to get it running again. Unfortunately, after exhausting all options, they decided to tow the vehicle to the nearest mechanic.

With to our enforcers quick thinking and the handy tools in our mobile vehicles, like jumper cables, tow ropes, and a tire jack, we were able to help the stranded motorist. Our teammates are proud to be of help to our constituents, always ready to lend a helping hand.

INGAT PO - While our tangerine team was busy attending to a senior citizen who slipped in Block 3, Fish Section of Hilltop Market, our attention was drawn to another market patron who felt nauseated and fainted near the wag-wagan in the same area.

After ensuring that the senior citizen could manage to go home on her own, our team immediately attended to the fainting patient with the help of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) crew we had called earlier.

The EMS crew assessed the female patient and determined that she required further medical care. They then transported the patient to Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center (BGH-MC).

MAG-INGAT PO TAYO - A senior citizen slipped and fell in the Blk. 3 Fish Section of the Baguio City Public Market on Saturday. Our tangerine team immediately responded to the incident, assisting and dialing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ambulance.

Upon receiving a report of the fall, our tangerine team rushed to the scene. They found the elderly woman, who appeared to have sustained minor injuries from the fall. Our team assessed her condition and provided immediate first aid while waiting for an EMS ambulance.

Despite the EMS's insistence on transporting her to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment, the senior citizen wanted to return home. After careful consideration and ensuring she understood the potential risks, she signed a waiver, indicating her refusal of further medical assistance.

Our tangerine team urges everyone to exercise caution while navigating the market, especially in areas with wet or slippery surfaces.

MARKET WALK ABOUT - Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong conducted a surprise inspection of the city market on Monday afternoon. Our market vendors took advantage of his visit to discuss their concerns and schedule appointments with the Mayor.
During the inspection, vendors approached the Mayor on a review of the anti-kalis-kis measure and about the leaking roof in the alleyway between the sari-sari and vegetable sections. In response, the Mayor assured the vendors that he would be meeting up with them on the anti-kalis-kis issue and he will have the roofing repaired.
Mayor Benjie frequently makes unannounced visits to the market to interact directly with market entrepreneurs and address their needs.

BINNADANG - Our generous vendors of Baguio City Public Market donate used sacks for the clean-up operations in the Campo Filipino fire. Our tangerine team use these donated used sacks for houling storm debris and other clean-up efforts all over the city. This small but significant gesture shows the true spirit of binnadang and the unwavering support of our community.

KEEPING IT PUDDLE FREE - Due to the recent heavy rainfall brought by Typhoon Enteng induced "habagat", we constantly sweep and drain the water puddles that have formed on the 'O' overpass. The inch-high pools of water have caused significant inconvenience to our Baguio citizens, who are forced to navigate around them by hopping and skipping along the pedestrian footbridge.

May we ask for your help? If you have seen her or if she is temporarily staying with you? Her family is worried and looking for her. If you have any information, please call the numbers below.

INJURY TIME-OUT - While conducting our second day of cleanup the previous week at the fire-damaged houses in Campo Filipino, two of our tangerine team members accidentally stepped on exposed two-inch nails. The nails punctured their shoes and injured the soles of their feet. Fortunately, an aid station was nearby, and they were promptly treated. The team members were administered the first dose of the tetanus vaccine, with the second dose scheduled for next month. Additionally, another cleanup crew from GSO received the same vaccination after inadvertently stepping on a nail. No further injuries were reported, and our teammates experienced no complications.

Our tangerine team postponed the cleanup due to Typhoon Enteng earlier in the week but resumed on Wednesday. They are about to finish the cleanup soon.

LIBRENG SAKAY - While Typhoon Enteng was traversing Northern Luzon, some passengers were stranded without their regular jeeps returning to their staging area.
Our tangerine team ferried waiting passengers of San Carlos Heights barangay on Monday evening. The jeeps had failed to return as the typhoon rains began to pour and the winds lashed at the hapless commuters.

ONLY IN BAGUIO - A student was in a panic when our tangerine team noticed her at the loading and unloading area in Upper Kayang. Our teammates asked her what was wrong, and she replied that she had lost her phone, after getting off at the jeepney stop. Our teammates asked for her phone number and called her cellphone. Fortunately, the jeepney driver of the Quezon Hill jeepney she had ridden found her phone. He said he was on his way back from his express route to the market to return it. Thanks to the honesty of Baguio's drivers, she was able to recover her phone.

ADDRESSING ELECTRICAL SAFETY - In response to a complaint we have come across online, our Tangerine Team was despatch to address an overgrown sayote vines that was creeping from Ganza Parking over to Fernandez Drive just above the shaded walkway. The sayote was wrapping and engulfing the electric lines of the street lights inside Ganza.

Whilst pruning sayote vines doesn't fall under our various mandates, the safety issue it posed to both pedestrians and property near the area is, hence our immediate dispatching of personnel to address it.

LET US ES**RT YOU MA'AM - Recently, our tangerine team assisted a visually challenged commuter who was making her way home from the "O" Shape overpass.

THE USUAL BAGUIO BAYANIHAN SPIRIT AT WORK

Members of BCPO, BJMP, HSO, GSO, CDRRMO, Campo Filipino barangay, Lions Club, and the Tangerine Team have worked hand in hand today to help clear the debris left behind by the recent fire in Barangay Campo Filipino. The devastating fire claimed one life and caused significant damage to property and lives of several families in the area.

Work will continue until the area is cleared of debris, providing some relief and some comfort of hope to the affected families as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives.

We give special recognition to our market vendors as well who are always ready to provide sacks needed for clearing operations and other forms of contributions every time we are struck by such calamitous events.

ANTI-VAPE - Dumadami na po ang ating mga kapanalig sa kampanya ng siyudad laban sa v**e at sa mapanganib na mga komplikasyon na dulot nito sa ating kalusugan.

Ang Punong Barangay ng T. Alonzo na si Kapitan Noli Tan ay naka kumpiska ng sari-saring mga hitsura ng v**e sa kanyang nasasakupang barangay. Ang mga naipong mga v**e ay inisurender sa ating himpilan sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggap ng ating Deputy Chief Allan Faustino mula kay Kapitan Tan.

DONATED VEGGIES FOR FIRE VICTIMS - Our market friends from the early morning latag donated vegetables to the victims of the pre-dawn fire on Tuesday in Campo Filipino Barangay.

FROM OUR HEARTS TO OUR LEARNERS - Our skilled masons and carpenters, part of the tangerine team, are actively assisting schools in need of our expertise.

2. Upgraded the stage gate and roller gate for improved functionality.
3. Replaced existing steel windows with sliding windows (analog) for better ventilation and accessibility.
4. Revised the stairs and welded new railings to ensure student safety.
