What is the safety that we have to be aware?

Safety from drowning.

While enjoying our rivers remember,


  •  Be careful if you go to rivers and streams as this is the number 1 fatal sites for those individual wanting to reduce their body temperature, remember if you don't know the depths of that river stay away from it.
  • If you don't know how to swim don't go for it
  • Go in a group not alone
  • Don't drunk and swim
  • Wear a life jacket
  • Learn how to save a life






Remember 8 Filipinos are perished everyday due to drowning and it increased during the month of summer (WHO files)
