AND THIS HERE IS NOT AN ASTRONAUT, HE’S A FIREMAN. In full-heat protection suit, a city fireman models for House Speaker Jose de Venecia’s introduction of the Austrian-made firefighting gear he gave the Dagupan City Fire Station and the Panda Volunteer Fire Brigade, also in the city. Some 30 more of the modern protection gear costing US $5,000 each will be given to various fire stations in the country. Witnessing the demonstration held at the Speaker’s residence are Dagupan Vice Mayor Alvin Fernandez, City Fire Marshall Manuel Manuel, (right) Lyceum Northwestern University president Gonzalo T. Duque and Philhealth Regional Manager Ernesto Beltran. (Please click here for the story.) (PStar Photo by Butch F. Uka)
