Batangas Provincial Director PCol. Rex Arvin Malimban said that such training is a big help, especially to their ranks due to the strong typhoons that tested the province of Batangas in recent months.

“Ang ating kapulisan ay nakahandang palagiang maglingkod at tumulong, anumang panahon o pagkakataon, kaya’t mas maganda na may sapat silang kaalaman para sa ganitong mga senaryo upang makatulong sa pagliligtas ng buhay," Malimban said. (with report from PIO Batangas City)
