The Bureau of Fire Protection Quezon City Fire District celebrates recently the day of heart Valentine’s Day is shrouded with legends dated back to a Roman festival called “Lupercalia” in honor of the Roman god, Faunus and the two founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus.
Another story told that during the third century AD, Roman Emperor Claudius II, ordered that all young men should remain un married for he thought this would make them a better soldier. But the priest named Valentine insisted and discreetly wed these young couples that infuriated the.
Emperor and put him to death. Nevertheless, Valentine’s day is still the day for LOVE despite of its bloody historical origin.
Today, here at QCFD with our very own District Fire Marshal FS-SUPT ARISTOTLE B BAรAGA is giving out a heart-shaped stuffed toy and chocolates to all female personnel.
This simple gesture of appreciation empowers all women in the uniformed service the LOVE and CARE they deserve. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
