The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) officially returns to the hardwood as they join the competitive roster for the highly anticipated UNTV Volleyball League Season 4. 

Marking their third consecutive appearance in the tournament, the Lady Firefighters are ready to balance their life-saving duties with athletic excellence.

The team’s participation underscores the league's unique position as a premier venue for government agencies to showcase sportsmanship while championing charity causes. 

For the BFP, however, the commitment goes far beyond the scoreboard.

Team Coordinator Ms. Eloisa Banac emphasized that the tournament's charitable mission remains the heart of their participation.

“Kaya po kami sumali unang-una dahil malaking bagay po na meron kaming nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na matulungan kasi nga diba itong ating UNTV is ‘Win in Sports, Win for Charity’, so malaking bagay po na nabibigyan po namin ng tulong ang aming beneficiary.” Ms Banac stated, highlighting how every spike and save serves a higher purpose.

“We joined, first and foremost, because this is a significant opportunity to help others. UNTV’s mantra is ‘Win in Sports, Win for Charity,’ and it means a lot to us that we can provide aid to our chosen beneficiary,” Ms Banac stated, highlighting how every spike and save serves a higher purpose.

Ms. Banac also expressed profound gratitude to the BFP leadership for their unwavering support of the athletic program.

“Sobrang saya! Malaking tulong sa aming mga player na kami po ay pinapayagan ng aming management sa pangunguna po ng aming Fire Director Jesus Fernandez at sa kanyang command group, kami po ay nagpapasalamat na pinapa-join po nila kami dito,” she added.

“We are so happy! It is a huge boost for the players that our management, led by Fire Director Jesus P. Fernandez and the Command Group, allows us to represent the bureau here,” she added.

Furthermore, she extended her deepest thanks to the organizers of the UNTV Volleyball League for providing a platform where government employees can showcase their talents.

“Nagpapasalamat po kami sa lahat ng namumuno ng UNTV Volleyball League na binibigyan niyo po ng pagkakataon kaming mga kawani ng gobyerno ng opportunity na makapaglaro po ng volleyball at maipakita po namin ang aming talento at galing sa paglalaro ng volleyball.” Ms Banac added.

“We are grateful to the leadership of the UNTV Volleyball League for giving us government workers the opportunity to play the sport we love and demonstrate our skills on the court,” Banac added.

By allowing personnel to compete on a national stage, the BFP continues to foster camaraderie and physical fitness within its ranks. 

As Season 4 kicks off, the Lady Firefighters are prepared to prove they are just as formidable on the volleyball court as they are on the front lines of fire safety.
