Philippine Army (PA) chief Lt. Gen. Noel A. Coballes on Thursday visited Tacloban City to oversee the ongoing humanitarian assistance and disaster response (HADR) operations for the victims of super typhoon "Yolanda" which wreck havoc in the Visayas last Nov. 8.
The visit aims to determine other operational and logistical requirements to expedite the conduct of relief, recovery and rehabilitation efforts in the region.
About 155 military vehicles and 4,000 Army troopers have been mobilized to help in the ongoing DRO efforts in Tacloban and other typhoon-affected areas.
The PA is closely collaborating with other government agencies in the conduct of HADR operations to ensure that relief items and necessary services be delivered to the people.
The Army will likewise remain an effective partner of the government in extending help and assistance to the communities ravaged by the typhoon.
