Kung kita, ug unsa ato’ng matabang sa ato’ng pamaagi, atoang buhaton dayon (If you see a fire, if it’s still manageable, let's put it out first before taking a video or posting it (on social media). If we witness a fire incident, we should act right away and assist in any way),” he said. He also said that Dabawenyos must be aware of the household safety tips, especially those who will leave their homes. He said Dabawenyos should not leave their cooking unattended and should turn off their Christmas lights before leaving home.“Kung unsa ato’ng makaya nga malikayan ang sunog diha pa lang sa level sa panimalay, atoa na’ng buhaton (We ought to take action to stop home fires if we can),” he sai
