TV5's multi-awarded "Rescue 5" is now a reserve unit of the Philippine Air Force.
Rescue 5 was officially designated as the PAF's 500th Search and Rescue Group through a memorandum of agreement signed by Air Force chief, Lieutenant General Lauro Catalino dela Cruz, TV5 President and CEO Noel C. Lorenzana, and TV5 News head Luchi Cruz-Valdes.
"We're very much honored to have Rescue 5 as a reserve force in the Air Force," dela Cruz said after the MOA signing.
PAF spokesman Colonel Miguel Ernesto Okol said the MOA stipulates that Rescue 5 will partner with the Air Force during disasters, especially in search and rescue operations.
Rescue 5 has its own mobile units carrying team members trained in disaster and accident situations. It also embarks on community training programs to prepare citizens for emergencies. Through TV5's various platforms - from television to radio and the Internet - Rescue 5's various initiatives and mandates are further implemented, leveraging the network's ability to educate and spread information to enhance its work and impact on the ground.
