From rescue and evacuation to road clearing and relief distribution, soldiers, reservists, and local responders worked round the clock to ensure the safety and recovery of affected communities.
Meanwhile, the 5th Infantry Division cleared debris-laden roads and restored access to isolated communities in Northern Luzon, while also conducting pre-emptive evacuations and distributing relief items to displaced families.
