In a show of solidarity, the 86th Infantry "Highlander" Battalion teamed up with the GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) to deliver crucial aid to storm-hit communities in Isabela.

Under Operation Bayanihan, soldiers from the 86IB delivered essential relief packs to affected residents in Barangay Maluno Norte, Benito Soliven, and Barangay Camunatan and Cabisera 19 in Ilagan City, Isabela, on Monday, October 28 to Tuesday, October 29.

This effort was made possible through a collaboration with the 95th Infantry Battalion and the Isabela Police Provincial Office, all working together to provide much-needed assistance to communities impacted by the storm.

In a statement, the leadership of the 86IB said they remain committed to coordinating with various agencies to ensure support for other areas affected by #KristinePH.

"Ang pamunuan ng 86IB ay patuloy na nakatuon sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa iba't ibang ahensyang pampubliko at pribado upang tuloy-tuloy ang pagbibigay tulong sa mga iba pang lugar na nasalanta ng bagyong Kristine," it read.
