This initiative was warmly welcomed by Hon. Elizabeth T. Matugas, the Municipal Mayor of the said town who personally manifested her support to the Reserve Force development in Siargao island.
The extension office was established in order to enhance the recruitment and administration of the Reserve Force in Siargao. Also, to provide better management, and administration of the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Program in the said area.
"The build-up of the Reserve Force here in Siargao Island is undeniably significant for disaster response in so far as concerned. As our country is located in the Pacific Rim of Fire, the risks in the disasters especially a typhoon are inevitable. Moreso that Siargao Island is geographically situated in a typhoon prone location. And there is a need to prepare how we can respond in times of emergencies like the devastation of Super Typhoon 'Oddette' in December 2021," Col Cadano Jr said during the dialogue.
