City Fire Marshal FSINSP Ayson assumed the post only last January 29. At 29, he is one of the youngest City Fire Marshals in the Philippines. He is a Kapampangan and hails from Capas, Tarlac.
A member of PNPA Maragtas Class of 2018, Ayson he ranked Top 6 in the Officers Advance Course.
In 208, he was assigned as aide-de-camp of then Fire Chief Director Leonard Banago. His idealism earned him several key positions in BFP Regional Office III prior to his appointment as fire marshal of Sto. Tomas, Pampanga in 2021, then Bacolor, Pampanga from 2021-2023.
With his 5-year experience coupled by values, knowledge and skills, Ayson was entrusted to lead the fire department of one of the most progressive cities in Central Luzon.
“I take great pleasure and honor to serve as the fire marshal of Mabalacat. My goal is to create a safer environment for everyone by implementing proactive fire safety measures and fostering a culture of preparedness. Together, we can make a significant difference in protecting lives and property,” Ayson said.
