From the Manila Bulletin (Sep 27): ‘Operation Smile’

The Philippine Army’s 401st Infantry (Unite N’ Fight) Brigade is currently conducting a noble and commendable task to people born with harelip. The brigade offers “Operation Smile” free of charge and will cater to people with harelip problem, especially six months old and above. It started early this week. Parents may register their children with harelip anytime at the Civil Military Operation Section of the 401st Brigade located at New Leyte, Awa here (Agusan del Sur). The Brigade will then announce the schedule of operation at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center in Cagayan de Oro City, and all expenses in going to Cagayan de Oro City will be shouldered by the brigade....

    Winning hearts & minds. The Philippine Army often provides basic medical and other services in order to gain support at the local level.
