“Sama-sama ang tropa, ang LGU at iba pang mga volunteer na sibilyan na nag-iikot sa bundok, naglalagay ng bakod, gumagawa ng kalsada. Hanggang ngayon patuloy pa rin tayo sa community organizing, project implementation at hindi kami titigil diyan hanggang sa maghilom na ang naranasan nilang pasakit sa pagiging IDP.”
