Dingdong, sinagot ang akusasyon ng mga bashers

- Ni NITZ MIRALLES

MAY sagot ang YesPinoy Foundation sa akusasyon ng bashers kay YPF Chairman Dingdong Dantes sa pagsusuot ni Dingdong ng Philippine Marine uniform sa relief operations na ginawa nito at ni Rocco Nacino sa evacuation centers sa Batangas.

Nabanggit din sa statement ng YPF ang nasabing relief operations dahil may mga nanghahana­sh din na ginagamit daw ni Dingdong na promo ng kanyang bagong teleserye na Descendant­s of the Sun.

YPF’S TAAL RELIEF OPERATIONS AND ON DANTES AS A MARINE RESERVIST

“One does not need a rank or position to be of service to the country. This is what we have witnessed through the numerous individual­s and organizati­ons who are working together to help the Taal Volcanoo eruption evacuees.

Just last week the YesPinoy Foundation (YPF) led by our Founding Chairman and Marine Reservist Dingdong Dantes visited Balayan, Batangas to extend help to 1000 evacuees from four evacuation centers who were in need of food, water, masks, blankets and clothes, among others.

This is the Foundation’s second run of assistance in partnershi­p with the Philippine Navy and Philippine Marines with the support of various donors and volunteers. During the first relief operation, which was carried out a day after Taal Volcano began erupting, YPF was able to distribute 708 kilos of rice through our partners from the military and the Philippine Red Cross.

However, we would like to shed some light on social media posts questionin­g our Foundation Chaiman’s enlistment as reservist of the Philippine Marines as this affects the integrity of our recent relief operations.

As stated in the Foundation’s earlier response to a social media comment, Chairman Dantes has enlisted in the Marine Reserve Force in 2006 (correction to 2009) and is a Graduate of the Marine Ready Reserve Orientatio­n Training Class 02-07 with Special Order number 72 effective 14

October 2007. Chairman Dantes holds the rank of MASTER SERGEANT and is a member of the MARINE AFFILIATED RESERVE COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT BATTALION (MARCSSBN) with LTCOL SONNY K.WANGPN (M) (RES) as his commander.

The Foundation on the other hand, belongs to the Frontlines Brotherhoo­d Inc. (FBI0 or the MARCSSBN, its military unit. We have also been doing disaster preparedne­ss training and relief operations since Chairman Dantes created the Foundation in August 2009.

With this, we hope to finally address the matter by sharing all the facts.

We also invite everyone to focus their time and energy on effort that will help our fellow Filipinos especially those who have been affected by the Taal Volcano eruption, and to continue in supporting individual­s and organizati­ons who are working together in this time of need.

Finally, may we always be responsibl­e using the online platform to speak the truth, inspire the public, and unite each and everyone for the good of the country.”

Ayan, sana mabasa ito ng mga nambabash kay Dingdong dahil naka-Philippine Marine uniform sa relief operations. Sabi nga ng supporters ni Dingdong, libre namang magresearc­h muna bago mag-comment.

Saka, bakit daw si Rocco na kasama ni Dingdong sa relief operation at naka-Philippine Navy uniform at si Matteo Guidicelli na nakaPhilip­pine Army uniform sa relief operation nito, hindi na-bash.

Anyway, smile lang ang sagot ni Dingdong sa mga bashers, basta siya tuloy ang pagtulong at may susunod na relief operations pa ang YesPinoy Foundation. Kahit busy sa promo ng DOTS dahil sa February 10, na ang pilot, hindi niya pinababaya­an ang itinayong foundation.
