Army holds feeding in Guihulngan

From the Visayan Daily Star (Feb 9): Army holds feeding in Guihulngan

The Army’s 11th Infantry Battalion marked on Feb. 6 the deadly 6.9 in magnitude earthquake in Barangay Planas, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental three years ago with a feeding program, that benefitted 120 elementary students.

In Brgy. Planas alone, 26 residents died, while 12 remain missing until now, when the powerful earthquake devastated the barangay, and other areas of Negros Oriental, three years ago, 1Lt Reynaldo Cañete Jr., 11IB Civil Military Operations officer, said yesterday.

Some of the beneficiaries of the feeding program, who are students of the Planas Elementary School, are sons and daughters of the victims, Cañete said.

The activity was a joint project of the school teaching staff, barangay officials and 11IB.

Lt. Col. Paulito Idul, 11IB commander, encouraged the populace to be vigilant against all forms of natural and man-made calamities.

The 11IB deployed its Bayanihan Team in the area to facilitate the resolution of problems raised to them, Cañete said.
