In line with its efforts to protect the environment, the Cagayan De Oro-based 4th Infantry Division announced that it has constructed four rescue boats from recycled plastic drums.
Capt. Christian Uy, 4th Infantry Division spokesperson, said the boats were donated to Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Region 10, Misamis Oriental provincial government and Cagayan De Oro city government Friday.
Uy said that 4th Infantry Division Ricardo R. Visaya initially developed the idea of rescue boats made from recycled materials.
The concept was then worked out by the unit's post engineering department and eventually gave birth to the creation of four rescue boats made from used plastic drums, GI sheets, flat iron bars and mounted with 25hp Yamaha outboard motor.
Likewise a test run was conducted to ensure its effectiveness and performance as part of the 4th Infantry Division's disaster relief and rescue operations.
