From the Visayan Daily Star (Mar 5): ‘Pacific Angel’ helps
residents in Neg. Or
The Operation Pacific Angel 13-1 humanitarian mission started yesterday and
benefited around 500 residents at the Osmeña Park in Tanjay City, and another
500 at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex in Dumaguete City, Negros
Oriental.
The joint outreach is undertaken by the United States Air Force Pacific
command, headed by Lt. Col. Alvin Alana, and the Armed Forces of the
Philippines, with 302nd Brigade commander, Col. Francisco Patrimonio, as point
person in Negros Oriental, the US Embassy, Unites States Agency for
International Development, local government units and non-government
organizations.
A color-coding scheme was implemented for the smooth conduct of the activity,
with the coupons pre-distributed to cluster barangays. The beneficiaries were
pre-identified by the barangay health workers, Marietta Jambora of the Oriental
Negros Children’s Advocacy Network said.
The mission includes medical, dental, optometry and engineering programs as
well as subject-matter expert exchanges, and will be conducted in the two areas
until March 9.
