Rescue airs Pangasinan special

MANILA, Philippines - For years, storms and typhoons have ravaged the province of Pangasinan, including Typhoon Emong back in 2009. The town of Sual was one of the most devastated areas in the province. But instead of becoming a hindrance, the local government took the brutal aftermath of Emong as an inspiration to come up with its own rescue team. Today, the local government is the one eagerly responding to emergency situations in and around the 19 barangays of Pangasinan and neighbouring towns.

Tonight, as part of the month-long second anniversary special of GMA 7’s Rescue, join Arnold Clavio and meet the dedicated individuals behind Pangasinan’s rescue team.

Witness some of the team’s most memorable and most gripping rescue efforts starting off with the rescue operation of an entire family as a full-grown mango tree knocked over their house. In another incident, witness how the group responds to a vehicular accident involving a bus that left more than 14 people injured.

Meanwhile, following the success in Davao, the team of Rescue in coordination with the GMA Regional TV group, visited Dagupan City for another leg of its disaster preparedness seminar. At the height of Typhoon Ferdie, the team, led by Clavio, went all the way to Dagupan to give Pangasinenses a seminar featuring useful and practical tips on how to stay safe in times of calamities on top of the Kapuso Barangayan held in Barangay Pogo Grande.  

Rescue airs Thursday nights after Saksi.
