Wendell Ramos recalls experience as a firefighter volunteer

Kapuso actor Wendell Ramos shared his experience as a firefighter volunteer and why he decided to become one. In an interview with King of Talk Boy Abunda on Fast Talk, he recalled how great the feeling was for him being able to help other people through this way. 

Wendell became a firefighter volunteer during the COVID-19 Pandemic. He decided to undergo training when he was invited by some of his friends who were also volunteers.

“Kasi gusto ko makapagbigay ng mga panahon na yun,” he said.

“Kung babalikan natin lahat ng tao, hindi alam hanggang kailan yun. Ano ba ang sabi ko pwede ko ibigay? Tapos na ako sa pagiging artista, hindi rin ako makapagbigay dun sa mga bubunuting ko sa sarili ko. Kasi, hindi enough. I also have to protect my family. Ang dami kasi nung mga time na yung mga tao noon, parang kahit lumalapit na sa’yo, hindi mo alam paano kang magbigay. Paano kung ikaw naman yung mawalan? Something like that,” he added.

The Kapuso star then recalled how he experienced putting a fire out and having to go on top of the roof just to help out his fellow firefighters. 

“Alam mo, nagpapasalamat yung tao. So sabi ko, wow, what a great feeling, what a blessed for me kasi nakapagbigay ako. Lalo na nung nakita nung mga kapwa ko voluntaryo. Kaya naging maingay siya dito. Sabi ko nga, ah, yun pala yung part ko,” he shared. 

As a firefighter volunteer, Wendell revealed that they don’t get paid to help out but despite this, he continues to help out when he’s not busy with his acting career. 

“Yeah, meron pa rin kaming group. Malaki ang samahan ng mga bumbero. So special shout out sa lahat ng mga firefighter, especially mga voluntary natin. Of course, respeto rin sa BFP natin,” he ended.
