“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of other.”—Mahatma Gandhi[1]


Public servants play a critical role in responding to emergency situations and ensuring the safety and well-being of the community. In terms of emergency response, public servants, such as police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, are equipped to respond to emergencies and provide immediate assistance to those in need. They work to secure the area, provide first aid, and prevent further harm.Public service is work done for the benefit of the general public rather than for personal gain.

The Baguio City Police Office Traffic Enforcement Unit Immersion Cadets, namely: PCDT LOY-OD, PCDT PAY-AN, PCDT DUCAY, and PCDT EDDUBA, engaged and applied their knowledge based on what they had learned in their overall training program regarding basic first aid, on which it equiped them with the necessary skills to provide immediate assistance in the event of an emergency. The said cadets, together with the assistance of two other concerned citizens without any hesitation, responded and assisted to an injured senior citizen who fainted and subsequently hitting and injuring his head along Upper Session Road, Baguio City.


First aid emergencies can happen at any time and anywhere, and it's essential to be always prepared for such situations. The ability to provide basic first aid can be the difference between life and death for someone in need. One thing to keep in mind is that, in an emergency, it's essential to stay calm and not panic for this will allow you to think clearly and respond quickly. Also, always remember to take deep breaths and focus on what needs to be done to help the person in need.

Every human being's responsibility for being is to serve others. It is the very reason for our existence and not something we do in our spare time. Serving means ministering to and assisting others in various ways; it is not done for show or publicity, but simply to enrich and assist others' lives. Service provides a sense of accomplishment in knowing that you helped to improve or even empower another person, family, organization, etc. It demonstrates a desire to assist others, and you never know when you might need it yourself. Everyone has the ability to help others in some way and can recognize that helping others can give our lives meaning and purpose. Every single person performs acts of service every day without even realizing it.

Service is more than just giving time; it is also a feeling, a life lesson, or even a life lesson in and of itself, such as concepts learned only through firsthand experience. Giving back to one's community has its own unique taste. Perhaps it's the satisfaction of assisting those who would otherwise receive less assistance. Perhaps it is seeing people from all over the world smile with the same expression of appreciation and gratitude. Perhaps it is knowing that I have a sensitivity to others that can only be gained by serving, or that giving back to the community has made my life richer and more meaningful.


Public service can be an important and rewarding career for those who are passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in their community. It can also play a critical role in shaping the character of a society, as public servants help to promote the values of fairness, equality, and justice.Helping others in emergency situations requires a combination of knowledge, skills, and compassion. Furthermore, the act of helping others in emergency situations is an aspect of being a responsible and caring individual.
