Ginawaran ng Philippine Coast Guard ng “Search and Rescue Medal” ang aktor na si Gerald Anderson dahil sa kanyang pagtulong sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong Carina.
Sinabi ni PCG Spokesperson, CG Rear Admiral Armando Balilo na matagal ng aktibong partner ng command si Auxiliary Commander Anderson lalo na sa mga humanitarian at disaster response operations.
“He is always present during the Coast Guard’s relief operations and disaster rehabilitation. He continues to help Aetas in Zambales, recovering families in Marawi, and even donated medical supplies and tents during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together with Auxiliary Ensign Julia Barretto and other PCGA members, Auxiliary CDR Anderson also donated bags filled with school supplies for the children of Pag-Asa Island,” saad ni CG Rear Admiral Balilo.
Kinilala rin ni Senator Robinhood Padilla ang kahandaan ni Auxiliary CDR Anderson na unahin ang iba kaysa sa sarili na nagsisilbing inspirasyon sa iba.
“Auxiliary CDR Anderson showcased the core values of PCG as first responders in the face of calamities. His actions demonstrated the true embodiment of a [PCGA member], which is to support and compliment the active force when circumstances called for,” lahad pa nito.
