LABO, CAMARINES NORTE (24 June 2005) -- The Philippine Army 902nd Infantry (Fight & Service) Brigade, headed by Col. Arnulfo A. Ylanan, conducted medical and dental outreach on June 3, 2005 that benefited residents of 18 barangays of Bato, Camarines Sur.

The MEDCAP followed the month long series of information dissemination and dialogue conducted by Task Force "CMO" headed by LTC Jose R. Pardo, 902nd IBde executive officer. The purpose of the dialogue is to enhance the Bato residents' awareness on AFP's role on peace, security and development.
During the grand pulong-pulong, Town mayor Jaime Timbang Gonzales, lauded the activities as significant and worthwhile to the people of Bato and to his administration with the AFP as partner in delivering basic services to bring the government closer to the people.
Mayor Gonzales said that this is not a form of propaganda but an activity that the government should do for the people and the people to the government. He urged Bato townsfolk to support the call of the AFP in the campaign against terrorism to prevent the society from joining the Godless ideology of Communism.
At the pulong-pulong the KALAHI Para sa Kalayaan group addressed the issues and concerns raised by the barangay officials regarding improvement and development of their respective barangays. (902nd IBde)
