Three years after the successful launch of Tulong Muna Bago Balita, Daniel Razon introduced another public service dubbed Rescue Cab: Tulong Muna Bago Pasada that intends to include cab drivers in the advocacy of helping first before anything else.
"Maybe, if all cab drivers will have rescue trainings, our streets will be a much safer place." said Razon in an interview.
(Siguro kung lahat ng taxi drivers gaya po ninyo ay makakapag-train ng rescue, mas magiging ligtas ang ating mga kalsada.)
In 2011 alone, more than 11,000 road accidents were recorded by the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group accounting for more than 1,000 deaths and 4,000 injuries that year.
With Tulong Muna Bago Pasada, Kuya Daniel hopes that cab drivers will be instrumental in helping motorists, commuters, and pedestrians in the event of an accident.
In cooperation with Philippine Red Cross, the first batch of orientation started June which covers Basic Life Support (BLS) trainings and is expected to end this July. Attendees will also receive a certificate upon completion of the training.
"I hope that this will be the start of our cooperation to serve, not only to our passengers but also to other motorists and commuters as well." Razon added.
(Ito po sana ay maging isang pasimula ng ating pagtutulungan para makapaglingkod hindi lamang sa ating nagiging pasahero kundi maging pati sa mga motorista at mga naglalakbay sa daan.)
When Razon through UNTV launched Tulong Muna Bago Balita on July 2010 - which is the ascendant program of Tulong Muna Bago Pasada - it opened up plenty of avenues for public services and apparently, it has also inspired public service programs from other media outlets other than UNTV.
As an example, TV5, a local channel, launched 'Rescue5' on February 2011 with the same format of helping first before reporting as UNTV's Tulong Muna Bago Balita.
Kuya Daniel Razon is an advocate of numerous public service projects in the country. Some of his projects includes free college education program through La Verdad Christian College in Caloocan City and Apalit, Pampanga. Also, Clinic ni Kuya has more than 13 branches nationwide to give free health checkups to those in need.
