PCG STATION SA PAG-ASA ISLAND

Ito ang kasalukuyang sitwasyon ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Station sa Pag-asa Island, Kalayaan, Palawan ilang araw matapos ang matinding pananalasa ng Bagyong #OdettePH sa isla.

Sira man ang kabuuang istasyon, pero nananatiling matatag ang pundasyong humahawak sa watawat ng Pilipinas.

Sa pakikiisa ng sambayanang Pilipino, babangon ang isla ng Pag-asa at iba pang lugar na lubhang naapektuhan ng nagdaang kalamidad.

We will recover as one!
