Department of Defense Support to the Government of the Philippines

At the request of the government of the Philippines, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has directed U.S. Pacific Command to support U.S. government humanitarian relief operations in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.

The initial focus includes surface maritime search and rescue (SAR), medium-heavy helicopter lift support, airborne maritime SAR, fixed-wing lift support and logistics enablers.

In coordination with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. ambassador in Manila, the Department of Defense will continue to monitor the effects of Typhoon Haiyan and stands ready to help our ally recover from the storm.

Gun shots heard near Tacloban Operations Center

Guys,

We will be sending 1 team of our emergency response sa amo company to Tacloban via Ormoc. We have offices in both areas. But I was the one tasked to send a team (3 Motorcycle Riding Employees, as travel by 4 wheel vehicle is still impossible as of this time), to verify and possibly fly them out from Ormoc & Tacloban by our secondary team that is on standby mode.

How true man ni nga makig patay na ang mga tawo didto in exchange for a little food and water? Really appreciate your help guys..

By the way, we are still uncertain on the conditions of our employees in tacloban, particularly in Marasbaras...

possible ni ingon ani.... uhaw ug gutom na ang mga tao ngadto... survival of the fittest na sila ngadto..
