From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 21): Naval 'Yolanda' responders to be feted Sunday

The Philippine Navy's Naval Task Group "Tulong Visayas" and Marine Battalion Landing Team 11,one of the military components in the still ongoing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations in Eastern Visayas, will arrive at the Commodore Rudiardo A. Brown Beaching Area, Naval Base Heracleo Alano, Sangley Point, CaviteCity Sunday.

Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic, Navy spokesperson, said that the Naval "Yolanda" responders are all aboard the BRP Dagupan (LC-551).

These PN personnel were among the first to be deployed to help in the relief operations for TaclobanCity and other parts of Eastern Visayas which were badly hit by "Yolanda" last November.

An arrival and recognition ceremony will be accorded to them as a fitting tribute for their heroic and meritorious acts, Fabic said.
