From the Philippine News Agency (May 10): AFP chief tells military units in 'Dodong'-threatened areas to coordinate with local officials

With typhoon "Dodong" expected to make landfall at Cagayan Sunday afternoon and possible two- meter high storm surges, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang has directed all military units in the area to closely coordinate with local government officials for possible pre-emptive evacuation of local residents.

This was disclosed by 7th Civil Relations Group commander Major Emmanuel Garcia in a message to the Philippines News Agency.

He added that in Sta. Ana and Gonzaga towns, troopers from the 17th Infantry Battalion, Naval Forces Northern Luzon, and their police counterparts are now conducting pre-emptive evacuations at some shoreline barangays.
