Military reservists are true patriots

I ADMIRE the courage of our military reservists that can be tapped to help in times of need without a doubt. Those military reservists have been tasked with relief operations in flood-stricken Cagayan Valley and Isabela. The Reserve Force will be able to contribute to the ongoing relief operations in Cagayan, considering its involvement. Maj. Gen. Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos Jr. said the reservists are then under the Northern Luzon Command, which is working in close coordination with the Emergency Operations Center of Cagayan Valley’s Office of Civil Defense.

A true patriot does not need to have a rifle in his hands and claim to be a defender of the nation. We see how these reservists work for our countrymen without any compensation. How I wish that those self-proclaimed New Peoples’ Army do the same as our reservists serve our nation. Let us all be grateful to have these true-blooded patriots that we have now.
