The theme for this year’s motorcade is “Ligtas na Pilipinas ang ating hangad, Pag-iingat sa sunog sa sarili ipatupad”. The motorcade is an annual event of the BFP that serves as one of their public awareness campaign for the Fire Prevention Month.

The preparations for the motorcade started at 5:30am at Sta. Lucia Subdivision, Barangay Lalakay where all the participants gathered and lined up for the parade. At around 6:30am, the motorcade started and went to different barangays of Los Baños. The last stop of the motorcade is at the activity hall where a short program and boodle fight was held.
