In Dec. 16, 2021, around 7 p.m., amid the efforts made to protect their police station from the onslaught of Super Typhoon Odette, but the howler’s wrath did not spare the Olango policemen’s office. Seeing that the second floor of their station was no longer safe for them, they immediately took their valuables and hid at the station’s custodial facility.
Gingoyon said that it took them around seven months to bring their police station back to where it once was before Odette hit. This was because they prioritized helping the community such as in the clearing operations and in the distribution of relief goods to the residents there. Policemen at the Olango Police Station did not repair their damaged police station after the super typhoon wreaked havoc on the island but they focused on the relief efforts to help the community to get back on its feet. | Photo courtesy of Police Major Mike GingoyonPolicemen help a person with disability as they focused on relief work days after Dec. 16, 2021, the day Super Typhoon Odette devastated the island.
