I'm also a volunteer Army Reservist during the typhoon Odette in Southern leyte together with 8RCDG PA and 802nd Infantry brigade PA.

Troops from the Philippine Army's 802nd Infantry Brigade continued efforts for the rehabilitation and relief assistance to the families affected by the recent Typhoon "Odette" in Southern Leyte.

On January 8, 2022, soldiers from the 14th Infantry Battalion assisted in the distribution of relief goods to the residents of Brgy. Inolinan, San Ricardo, Southern Leyte. Meanwhile, troops from the 8th Regional Community Defense Group (8RCDG) of Army Reserve Command, and the Disaster Response Units of 8th Post Engineer Detachment facilitated the distribution of the 700 galvanized iron sheets and nails donated by Aqualine Construction Company, further assisted the residents in the construction of their damaged houses in Brgy. Magallanes, Limasawa.

Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner Jr. lauds the troops for their ceaseless efforts in helping the suffering communities from the aftermath of Typhoon "Odette". Being one with them gives hope to get them back on the track of their lives.

“I commend our soldiers who are staying in the frontlines to help our people get back on their daily lives. Rest assured that as you support our communities, your Philippine Army is also ready to support you in your endeavors,” said Lt. Gen. Brawner. | Philippine Army
