Same question here. Almost got sideswiped yesterday afternoon ng hilux with led blinkers inside the bumpers and sa loob ng windshield with matching siren pa. Di makita yung driver kasi super tinted. May naka tail pa na pajero, same blinkers and all. Kala ko bawal na to?

volunteers ba exempted?

fire and ems volunteers on private cars are not exempted. except for their private marked vehicles like ambulance and firetrucks.

pero honestly pahirap po samin kung walang siren at blinker when responding to emergency calls. kasi dito sa pinas hindi naman naiintindihan ng nakakarami ang pag-kakaiba ng volunteers at goverment. iisa ang tingin ng iba. ma-late parehas sa sunog or accident sinisisi pa rin kami ng taong bayan.

People of the Philippines: bakit ang tagal niyo dumating?
Volunteers: sorry po. kasi natraffic po kami papunta ng headquarters to get our rescue vehicle. bawal po kasi siren at blinker.
(since volunteers are not always on their headquarters. most of us are Students and Professionals in life)

i know other people will say, volunteers lang naman kayo hindi niyo kelangan magmadali. at sino ba nag sabi na rumesponde kayo?
panigurado naman na kahit anong explanation namin sa mga taong ganon ang sasabihin eh they will not agree with us..

kaya di ko masisisi kung may mga volunteers na gumagamit ng siren and blinker when responding to a call. im with them with that. pero kung gagamitin lang ng wala eh against ako dun.

just my two cents!

Thanks for clarifying. I have nothing against vounteers using them, coz pag family ko ang may emergency i would like them to be there asap. Pero sana naman wag masyado bastos mag drive when responding to emergencies.

KUDOS to Mr. Pong-GEE.. Well Said.. Maybe dapat magbigay siguro ang LTO or DOTC ng registration din for the vehicles of our Fire Volunteers or Disaster Volunteer Responders para wala na talagang sitahan. We should give them courtesy siguro, its just a seconds lang naman, wag lang sila haras.

As of now, marami na rin po ako nakikita at bumabalik nanaman ang mga Police Escorts/Hagad BUT natuto na sila gamitin ang power nila as Police Escorts and to Respect other Vehicle sa daan, sana pagpatuloy nalang po nila.

And kung ako tatanungin niyo kung tatabi ako pag winangwangan. Oh yes I will. Bakit ? Wala lang. Baka naman kasi super emergency yun talaga na hindi nila pwede mamiss like ... pagtae, pagihi or pagwitness ng kasalan ng kung sino man. hehe

+1 AKO DITO.

[du hast]

So you mean fire/ems volunteers are allowed to have lights and sirens on their privately owned vehicles (P.O.V.) as long as they are marked? I too have nothing against the volunteers because i myself am registered nurse (no work pa hehe) but i had some trainings with red cross qc and they asked if anyone would want to be an EMT so i joined. now i'm training to be one and i would like to also volunteer because of the nice feeling of saving peoples lives and the action haha. I also agree on the misunderstanding people have for volunteers pag may emergency. di lang nila alam na mahirap din maging volunteer kasi you do it for the love of helping people and not for the money. Some also think na "bakit pa kelangan ng lights and sirens auto mo eh la ka naman tanke ng tubig para mapatay mo yung sunog?" or "san mo naman ilalagay yung biktima, di naman ambulansya dala mo?" Kaya kasi nagmamadali ang volunteers is either kelangan nila pumunta sa station to gear up tapos sakay sila sa fire truck or pupunta sila sa scene with important supplies na kelangan sa pag rescue. Ako personally and if pwede lang, gusto ko mag install kahit lights lang on my POV and mark it na din para makita lang ako pag emergency. Dapat ang volunteers may permit talaga for that eh. Of course, against din ako sa unlawful use ng lights and sirens. I hope people learn the facts first before blaming and stereotyping volunteers. wag sana one sided mag isip kasi minsan yung volunteers pa ang nauuna sa scene and have better equipment than the government. More power to you sir pong-gee and to all volunteers! peace!

No sir. i clearly stated that only private marked vehicles like ambulance and firetrucks not P.O.V.

okay lang sana sakin na may blinkers at siren kahit heavily tinted basta windows down ang lahat ng windows at kita mo na nag wawagayway ang kamay ng driver or passenger. halata naman din kung goons lang yun or emerency talaga.hehe

Kanikanina lang sa QC circle merong convoy leaded by mobile patrol car na bigla nag merge na walang pakialam ang tutulin bigla preno yung PUJ muntik ng nabangga yung kasunod na kotse nag skid buti nalang keep distance ako kaya nakapag preno ako. Nakakasira ng araw.

Muka mas lumala nung tinanggal wangwang kasi ganon parin sila kaangas tapos walang warning.

[joseph20]

Mas delikado nga kung walang warning o bigla nalang susulpot, kahit nakaka tuliliag ang wang wang sound, at least nagigising utak mo sa tunog. Maya-maya kasi ang mga eps ehh bigla nalang susulpot, PRENO ka, kung hindi bangga ka.
