SG Hassan Pasco Honored for Heroic Life-Saving Effort From CDRRMO

The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) of San Pablo, Laguna, recently recognized the exemplary actions of SG Hassan Pasco, a guard at SM City San Pablo, who displayed extraordinary selflessness and courage during a critical incident on June 25, 2023. In a heartwarming display of heroism, SG Pasco's swift response and knowledge of first aid rescue techniques saved the life of a 74-year-old customer in distress.

While conducting his regular rounds, SG Pasco noticed a 74-year-old customer experiencing difficulty breathing due to something stuck in his throat. Fortunately, as a trained guard in first aid rescue techniques, he performed the Heimlich maneuver (Abdominal Thrusts) right away, and that saved the customer. 

SG Pasco is trained in first aid rescue techniques and regularly undergoes refresher courses with the assistance of a Certified First Aid Trainer from the Philippine Red Cross. These training sessions are conducted every morning before the mall opens.

CDRRMO Management Council in San Pablo, Laguna said that his quick thinking, decisive action, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the preservation of human life have made a remarkable impact on the community. SG Pasco also received P10,000 from the city Administration Office.
