From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Mar 1): ALL IN ONE | MBLT-1 Gives Hope to People of Sulu
LUUK, Sulu (DWDD) – Prior to, during and after the All-in-One Humanitarian Mission, the Unang-Una Battalion continues to give its all for the people of Sulu.
On our third day in Luuk, Sulu, our rest and recreation day after the two-day humanitarian mission, unknown to many of us, Ltc Stephen Lalas Cabanlet, commander of the MBLT 1, was receiving an Abu Sayyaf member who surrendered right at the same beach where we were eating, swimming and frolicking!
On Monday, after we’ve all gone home, some of the soldiers went back to Pata Island to finish constructing Dome-type structures donated by the Tzu Chi Foundation, facilitated by Dr. Anton Lim, Ms. Paulita Agpaoa and Jason Ricafort Cabalida Cardente of Alegado Foundation.The dome-type structures will be used for the High School annex, day care center and a Health Center.
The last classroom building at Pata Island was a two-room classroom constructed many years ago, during the time of former President Ramos in 1995. Because of the shortage of classrooms, most of the children in the island were not able to pursue high school education, due also to the long-standing conflict between the people of Pata Likud and Pata Harap.
