The Philippine Air Force (PAF) deployed over the weekend its cargo plane to deliver relief goods for Batanes residents affected by the severe southwest monsoon or habagat.
The PAF C-130 aircraft flew more than 800 family food packs to Basco Airport for distribution to the habagat victims.
Upon arrival, personnel of the Philippine Air Force Reservists, the Philippine Navy Marines, the Bureau of Fire Protection, and the Batanes provincial government unloaded the relief goods for immediate delivery to the Batanes Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) warehouse.
“The PAF’s response demonstrates its commitment to serving the nation and providing assistance to those affected by natural disasters.” PAF spokesperson Col. Maria Consuelo Castillo said.
