The facility will cost around P1.2 million, including the land and structure, and will be a donation of Megawide to the community.

Located in a 200-square meter lot in Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal, the building is expected to boost the municipality’s emergency response in cases of fire and other emergencies. The groundbreaking ceremony, which signals the start of construction, was led by the officials of BFP Taytay and Megawide.

“Megawide’s vision to engineer a First-World Philippines also extends to helping local governments provide better public service through emergency response infrastructure. We aim to deliver this new fire station on time, using our precast and construction solutions capabilities,” said Megawide Executive Vice-President for Business Units Markus Hennig.

Megawide will undertake the site, structural, and civil works, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEPF) services.

“We want to express our utmost appreciation to Taytay LGU and Megawide for their consistent support to the agency. This new fire station, which is strategically located within highly populated areas and other high-risk spaces, will provide easier access for fire suppression and rescue operations and be a great help to complement our initiative of ramping up fire safety in the municipality,” said Taytay Bureau of Fire Protection Chief Gary Raymond Cantillon.

“The new fire station will also bolster the morale, effectiveness and responsiveness of every personnel of the station. We believe that a more conducive working environment will result in a more responsive and efficient output from any employee or personnel,” he added.

Megawide’s industrial facility is located in Taytay and houses its main Precast Plant, formworks warehouse, and motor pool. Megawide has continuously worked with its partner communities and key stakeholders to promote an effective and sustainable corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform.
