With typhoon "Dodong" expected to make landfall at
Cagayan Sunday afternoon and possible two- meter high storm surges, Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang has
directed all military units in the area to closely coordinate with local
government officials for possible pre-emptive evacuation of local residents.
This was disclosed by 7th Civil Relations Group commander
Major Emmanuel Garcia in a message to the Philippines News Agency.
He added that in Sta. Ana and Gonzaga towns, troopers from
the 17th Infantry Battalion, Naval Forces Northern Luzon, and their police
counterparts are now conducting pre-emptive evacuations at some shoreline
barangays.
