Likewise, the same drill was conducted by the PDRRMO Personnel in a private institution at Vigan City recently. Governor Ryan Luis V. Singson saying as quoted: “I am happy that the PDRRMO has been doing its job well. With its existence in just a year, it has already done a lot of successful rescue operations. We have seen the hardships encountered and numerous sacrifices the rescuers rendered at the course of their routinary activities in times of disasters.”
The Governor also informed that the other provinces have been congratulating the Ilocos Sur rescuers for their accomplishment and “we are very grateful to that,” Gov. Singson added. In appreciation to their remarkable achievements in disaster preparedness related activities, the provincial government granted the PDRRMO headed by PDRRM Officer Michael Chan to purchase two more rescue vehicles - an ambulance with complete apparatus similar to that of a “mobile clinic” and a 6 x 6 truck that will serve as a rescue ride for evacuees during evacuation.
The Earthquake Drill held on November 14, 2014 is in compliance to the nationwide simultaneous activity. # (Web In-Action, Source: PDRRMO-Ilocos Sur)
