ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
As of 19 OCTOBER 2023

I. GENERAL STATEMENT:

The Municipality of Tupi is a town having a total land area of 31,150 Hectares.
The town was tagged as the Fruit, Vegetables, and Flower basket of the South; by
reason of its different climate than that of other municipalities in the region. It is
inhabited by more or less population of 71,459 individuals of different tribes from
across the country as of 31 December 2020 statistical data.

Few years ago, the Municipality was classified as a 1st Class Municipality due
to its economic development. In the early 90’s, this municipality depends its basic fire
services from adjacent towns of Koronadal and Polomolok; on which a few years later,
on September 1992, the municipality has acquired a brand-new Hino Forward Fire
truck from the BFP, but then, the new Firefighting Unit has no shelter of its own.

Together with the BFP Personnel, they were housed in a temporary shade, built
in a narrow space between the DSWD and PNP building, where the BFP first started
to function and served the constituents of Tupi.

Eventually by virtue of Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 121 Series of 1991,

approved on October 7, 1991, Declaring Malvar Street Closed and Donating the
portion of the said street to be used as the site of the Fire Station; in compliance to
Section 56 of Republic Act No. 6975; the P .4 million building that houses Tupi Fire
Station today, was erected at the Municipal Compound, along Sunico St., Brgy.
Poblacion, Tupi, South Cotabato. It was funded from the, Countryside Development
Fund (CDF) P 100,000.00, Brgy Assistance to Local Government Units P 150,000.00,
Provincial Government P100,000.00, and Tupi Municipal Government under the
administration of the late Municipal Mayor Hon. Roel I. Senador, M.D. shouldered the
rest and other later expenses until the completion of the project.

The building was formally turned-over by the Local Government to the BFP on
December 11, 1993. No less than the former South Cotabato 1st District
Congresswoman Lualhati R. Antonino leads the ribbon cutting and turn-over ceremony
of the Tupi Fire Office Building. She was assisted by Hon. Mayor Roel I. Senador.

The ceremonial key of the building was accepted by the BFP Region 12 Asst.
Regional Director SUPT VIRGILIO C TOBIAS, SR BFP, SFO1 Pedro V Simugan BFP,
the first Acting Municipal Fire Marshal of the Tupi Fire Station.

 On the late 90’s, the garage of the Fire Office was extended (doubled its original
size), and undergone series of repainting of its building, and series of repair of its Fire
Truck, under the leadership of the former Municipal Fire Marshal.

Under the present leadership; mutual trust, partnership, and cooperation, with
the LGU, is always the paramount consideration; that there should be a better delivery
of basic Fire Services.
