The first time Edgar Vaflor, Vanura's Director of Patient Care Services, saw Amabel De Leon, he noticed how so relaxed and friendly their conversation that it took a while for him to realize he was already talking to the very owner of Vanura. For him it was a positive sign he just entered a work culture embracing humility and excellence.

There is an explanation for everything, Edgar insists, like why some people call him Ed and others prefer addressing him as Gar. He explained, "Tagalog culture uses the first syllable of someone's name for a nickname, while the Bisaya chooses the second syllable as a term of endearment."

Nurse case manager Celeste Magee on what attracts her to home health:

“I’ve enjoyed the autonomy of being able to go to my patient’s house in my own time and pace. I can do my own schedule, and that’s what I like with home health."

The resident "cute couple" of the entire Firehouse conglomerate - Junjun and Carla Nugpo - can have a playful argument all Valentine weekend as to who first pursued who, much like that endless debate about which came first, the chicken or the egg. Fact of the matter is, they fell for each other, have long been faithfully married, and will continue hiking alone together in some mountain getaway.

Junjun kept it short with his amiable dry wit: "It all started when I saw her staring at me. It was love at first sight."🥰

*Junjun is the middle child brother of homehealth care queen Amabel De Leon and go-to guy for fix-everything-IT&E.T., while Carla is the graceful Administrator for California's 25-year strong Vanura Homehealth Services. They are blessed with daughter Paula who's likely the amused arbiter in their light-hearted love debates.

As we head into the Valentine weekend, let some romantic thoughts from a Firehouse leader set the mood. Here's what Don Lee, shown here with wife Mateng during their recent visit to Vanura Homehealth, California, has to share when asked about that point in time he realized she's the one.

"Since our wedding was within seven months of meeting each other, I felt like when you know that you've met that special someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the 'rest of your life' to begin immediately."

*Don currently steers the launching of Ubora Health platform, while Mateng serves as Administrator for Vanura Arizona.

Celebrating birthdays as an integral part of company culture is acknowledging the power of the individual in a collective harmony, of leaders serving their teams and community as they contribute to the growth and welfare of the business.

Last Martin Luther King Monday, the team gathered, said grace, and celebrated Michael and Catherine who both became a year wiser and happier.

Revered Filipino broadcast journalist Luchi Cruz-Valdes rechanneled her four decades of mainstream TV news reporting experience to create her own digital talk show Usapang Real with Luchi (URL), where she interviews interesting personalities using social media as platform.

For her American dream series, she personally reached out to Amabel De Leon whose inspiring story birthed Vanura Homehealth Services and steered remarkable entrepreneurial expansion -- from three jobs to multiple companies, from homelessness to several offices housing a community of health care professionals.

Collaborating with the premier journalist is TFC motivational speaker Avelynn Garcia, as the three of them appeared in one frame with a copy of Amabel's Bloom On The Battlefield.

"Rooted in deep spirituality and a shared passion for healthcare excellence, Vanura’s growth became inevitable. What began as a single agency expanded into multiple companies that today employ hundreds of professionals and serve countless patients across communities in the United States.

Vanura earned a reputation for professionalism, consistency, and quality care—so much so that people began referring to it as one of the top home health agencies in its region. The De Leons, once newcomers navigating risk, had become seasoned leaders at the helm of a thriving enterprise."

Through her book of enriching experiences and life lessons, RN-turned-multi-company COO Amabel De Leon shares some wisdom on the sense of having purpose in life.

"Purpose is your GPS in life. It is what guides your steps the moment you open your eyes in the morning. It drives your heart, infuses passion, and provides a relentless strength to overcome obstacles.

God's strength would flood my heart. Something miraculous happens that pushes me to believe in the impossible. As a home care provider, I've learned I must keep my eyes on my purpose to stay focused when challenged.

Purpose is a powerful weapon for blooming on the battlefield." (pages 66-67)

Firehouse is family. Last month's Christmas party for all teams from the various companies turned out to be more than a gathering of workmates. It was the perfect venue for families to commune with other equally empowered individuals of home.

The young, talented Arwen Senatin arrived with her mom Adele - her charming lookalike who for a time actually served as Vanura's director of patient care.

Diana Moncada was likewise radiant in the company of her loving husband Meler.

And then there in Table 4 the adorable Nugpo brothers - Junjun and Dindo. The two side by side must be a cool sight familiar to their beloved sister Amabel whose wish for them three siblings to get reunited in America helped realize a game-changing home health services company that grew into a multitude of ventures championing the health care industry in general.
