From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 18): AFP cites Korean group helping in
Comval rescue operations
The Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) awarded a plaque of commendation to
the Korean Rescue Emergency Foundation (Samaritan 911) and an EMC medallion to
each of the 16 members during the send-off ceremony Monday morning at the VIP
Lounge of the Davao International Airport.
Major. Gen. Jorse Segovia, commanding general of Eastmincom, led the giving
of the award to the group and its members, who were involved in the search and
rescue operations conducted in the devastated areas by typhoon Pablo,
particularly in the province of Compostela Valley.
Segovia personally expressed his happiness for the help extended by the
Korean group, which did not just sympathize with the typhoon victims but
actively participated in efforts to rescue missing victims.
“We really have good Samaritans out there who selflessly extended their
helping hands to those experiencing hardships while surviving from the wrath of
the typhoon,” he said.
For its part, the foreign group was also thankful for the warm accommodation
given them in their stay here and assured to be back when their help is needed.
