Eastern Mindanao Command tells public not to panic when they hear howitzer fire Friday

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 25): Eastern Mindanao Command tells public not to panic when they hear howitzer fire Friday

People living near Naval Station Felix Apolinario in Panacan, Davao have been advised not to panic should they happen to hear howitzer fire on Friday.

These volleys of fire will be for welcoming President Rodrigo Duterte, who is the guest-of-honor for the 10th founding anniversary of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC).

The 21-gun salute will be rendered upon the arrival of the Chief Executive at the naval facility, said EMC public affairs office chief Maj. Ezra Balagtey.

"Please help us inform the public so that they will not be alarmed on Friday," he added.

The celebration, which carries the theme "Katambayayong sa tinud-anay nga kausaban", will also be highlighted by the presentation of awards to personnel and stakeholders who have made significant contribution to the accomplishment of EMC's mission.

The EMC was activated some 10 years ago following the deactivation of the former Southern Command in Zamboanga City.
