“Inherent sa mga sundalo ang magbigay ng assistance especially during disaster and calamities. Bago pa man dumating ang sakuna ay nakahanda na ang inyong kasundaluhan. Sa 51st Engineer Brigade, kami ang una sa mga disaster sites dahil kami ang nagcle-clear ng mga kalsada para madaaanan ng mga rescuers at mga nasa relief operations,” Mestiola added.
In a separate interview, Major Amadeo Panlilio, commander of the 51st Engineer Support Battalion (ESB) based in Manaoag town, said he is happy with the unit’s Multi-Sectoral Advisory Board (MSAB) which is very active in outreach programs.
