The newly deployed ambulances are equipped with state-of-the-art emergency medical features, including stretcher beds with safety restraints, spinal boards, and trauma kits. Each unit also comes with interior LED medical lighting and a two-way radio communication system device to ensure efficient dispatch and coordination with the city’s central command center. The vehicles were also built with high-roof designs to allow paramedics to move comfortably while administering care and are fitted with sirens and high-visibility emergency lighting for safe and rapid transport through traffic.
In his remarks during the ceremony, Mayor WES emphasized that the initiative reflects the city’s proactive and people-centered governance. He noted that investing in emergency medical infrastructure is crucial in a rapidly growing urban center, where timely medical response can mean the difference between life and death. The mayor also highlighted that the deployment of dedicated ambulances per barangay empowers local officials and frontline responders to act swiftly and efficiently.
“Ito pong programa natin ay bilang suporta sa ating programang pangkalusugan, ang mabili at efficient po na service sa ating mga constituents sa pamamagitan po ng mga brand new ambulance natin. ‘Wag po kayong mag-alala, pinapaalam ko rin sa inyo na ang LGU rin po ay patuloy pong sumusuporta sa ating mga barangay… Kaya sa ating mga kapitan at barangay officials na nandito, suklian po natin ng magandang serbisyo ang ating mga mamamayan,” he stated. [This program is in support of our health programs, providing fast and efficient service to our constituents through our brand new ambulances… I also want to remind you that the LGU continues to support our barangays... So to our captains and barangay officials present here, let us reciprocate it with good service to our constituents]
On the other hand, Senator WIN, who supported the initiative, reaffirmed his commitment to helping local governments strengthen their healthcare capabilities. He commended Valenzuela City’s leadership for prioritizing public health and safety, especially in light of increasing demand for emergency services.
As Valenzuela City marks its 28th Cityhood Anniversary, the milestone serves not only as a celebration of progress but also a reaffirmation of its commitment to responsive governance. It is a unified effort to safeguard the health and well-being of every resident, reinforcing the city’s vision of delivering efficient, accessible, and compassionate public service at the grassroots level.
