In recent weeks, the Philippines has experienced several noticeable earthquakes — reminders that safety and preparedness should always come first. At Escobar’s Steakhouse, we’ve always believed that care extends far beyond the kitchen. It’s not just about serving good food; it’s about protecting the people we serve and work with every day.
That’s why our Escobar’s team recently underwent First Aid and Earthquake Preparedness Training — a proactive effort to ensure that every staff member is equipped, informed, and ready to respond when it matters most.
Building Confidence Through Preparedness
The training, led by certified emergency responders, covered essential topics such as:
- Earthquake response and evacuation procedures.
- Administering first aid for injuries and emergencies.
- Safely assisting patrons and fellow staff during a crisis.
Across all Escobar’s branches, our teams actively participated in hands-on drills that simulated real-life scenarios — from duck-cover-hold techniques to proper evacuation guidance. The goal was simple: to build confidence, coordination, and calm under pressure.
> “Safety is part of our service,” shares one of our branch managers. “We want our patrons to know that we care about their well-being as much as we care about the food we serve.”
A Culture of Care and Responsibility
This initiative is part of Escobar’s ongoing commitment to foster a safe, family-friendly environment — not just for our patrons but also for our hardworking team members. Each drill reminded everyone that preparedness is an act of care, and that readiness can make all the difference in keeping others safe.
We take pride in knowing that every Escobar’s branch is not only a place for good food and great memories, but also a space where safety and awareness are valued just as much as hospitality.
Earthquake Safety Tips for Everyone
In times like these, preparedness matters — wherever you are. Here are a few simple safety reminders that can make a big difference during an earthquake:
- Stay calm and protect yourself immediately. If indoors, perform the Duck, Cover, and Hold technique under a sturdy table or against an interior wall.
- Stay away from glass, windows, or heavy objects that may fall.
- Do not rush outside during strong shaking. Wait until it stops before evacuating carefully.
- If you’re outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
- After the shaking stops, stay alert for aftershocks and follow official safety announcements.
Together in Safety and Care
Preparedness is everyone’s responsibility — and at Escobar’s, it’s part of how we serve. We believe that when a community stands together, looks out for one another, and stays ready, we can face anything with courage and care.
Whether it’s sharing a comforting meal or ensuring safety in every branch, Escobar’s Steakhouse remains committed to serving not just food, but genuine concern for our patrons, our team, and our community.
Because more than the food, it’s the care we give that makes the experience complete.
