MANILA, December 10, 2012-General Jorge Segovia of the Eastern Mindanao Command has been tasked by the President to be Ground Commander of the Search and Rescue operations in the hardest-hit areas in the wake of Typhoon Pablo. Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development is taking the lead for relief operations. As such, Secretary of National Defense Voltaire Gazmin asks the private sector to augment government efforts in delivering relief to these provinces. In keeping with the tradition of private sector involvement in humanitarian efforts following calamities, we call on companies and individuals to coordinate with the Eastern Mindanao Command for the use of private helicopters to transport much-needed relief goods and resources to afflicted provinces at the soonest possible time. The Eastern Mindanao Command may be contacted via 09176201980.
General Segovia and the troops under his command have tirelessly worked for the betterment of our countrymen in Mindanao in the wake of this calamity. Theirs is an example of heroism that we call on others to emulate. The work continues and hope remains strong as we relieve, rebuild, and restore stricken communities in the south. With the civilian and uniformed services of the government and the private sector working together as one, we shall overcome.
