Northern Luzon Command capable of responding to disasters

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 1): Northern Luzon Command capable of responding to disasters

With the country now on its southwest monsoon phase, the Tarlac-based Northern Luzon Command on Thursday assured the public of its willingness to respond to disasters and help people affected by it.

Lt. Gen. Felicito Virgilio Trinidad Jr., unit commander, made this assurance to Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin during his visit to Camp Servillano Aquino in Tarlac.

"There is a dedicated unit per area in the Northern Luzon Command to assist our people. Our units are in close coordination with our civilian counterparts for quick and appropriate response. The system is working and was tested during Typhoon 'Glenda'," he added.

Northern Luzon Command covers provinces composing Northern and Central Luzon.

"Our focus is not only disaster response but preparations of our troops in collaboration with communities before a calamity strikes," Trinidad stressed.
