How time flies. We are now in thelast quarter of 2009 and the yearwill soon come to a close. It is justunfortunate that the run up to thisperiod was marked withunpleasant circumstances.

Just as everyonewas getting readyto shift

into the holiday mood already, a stormwreaked havoc on the nation’scapital and other areas in Luzon—dumping record-breaking volume ofrain in just a few hours. The resultingcalamity was just unimaginable. Vastareas laid submerged in deep

floodwater, thousands of peopleneeded help, and sadly, hundredsof lives were also lost.

We were not spared from thecalamity, too. Our refilling plantin Zambales was totally engulfed

by the rampaging floods. A numberof our stores in many areas were

also affected.

For most of ourkababayan, the task ofrecovery can bedaunting. But the Filipino

spirit, I know, isindomitable. It is nowtime to pick up thepieces and count ourblessings.

For all of us in theP R G a z H a u s

organization, we shouldtake the recent events not as

challenges and difficulties but,rather, as opportunities.

As our products are essentialcommodities especially during thesetimes, now, more than ever,customers count on our unfailingservice. This is our opportunity toexceed their expectations.

As exceptional delivery of servicecan only be achieved if people andresources work seamlessly andefficiently together, the mission ofour organization requires nothingless. This is our opportunity to gatherour collective strength.

• Matapos gamitin, siguruhing nakasara ang valve ng LPGupang maiwasan ang pagsingaw nito. Maari ringtanggaling muna ang hose sa kalan at iaayos ng mabutiang tangke ng LPG sa isang lugar na ligtas na hindimababasa ang anumang bahagi nito. Siguraduhin din nahindi ito magagalaw o mababagsakan ng anumangbagay. Ganun din ang gawin kung may reserbang tanke.

Paglipas ng bagyo

• Alamin kung may nasaktan o nangangailangan ng firstaid sa mga kasambahay. Matapos nito, inspeksyunin angbuong kabahayan kung may pinsala.

• Tignan ang kundisyon ng itinabing tangke ng LPG patina rin ang kalang gamit sa pagluluto.

• Kung nawalan ng kuryente, siguraduhing malayo angsisindihang kandila sa lugar kung saan itinabi angtangke ng LPG at lalong huwag gumamit ng kandila sapag-iinspeksyon nito.

• Kung may putik o lubhang nababad sa tubig baha angtangke ng LPG, hose o kalan, maagap na linisin ito atpatuyuin. Huwag munang gamitin hanggang hindinakatitiyak na ligtas ito at walang sira ang anumangbahagi na maaring pagmulan ng singaw.

• Kung may naaamoy na singaw ng gas, buksan ang mgabintana at higpitan ang valve. Kung naroon pa din angsingaw, maingat na ilabas ng bahay na lamang angtangke ng LPG at ilayo sa ligtas na lugar, na walangkatabing kabahayan, kung ito ay magagawa.
