IN PHOTOS: The Regional Training Center-Tagoloan successfully conducted a Community-Based Training in Defensive Driving on May 26, 2026 for the uniformed personnel of the 52nd Engineering (KAAYADAN) Brigade. Held at the Headquarters of the Philippine Army in Camp Colonel Oscar F. Natividad, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, the initiative empowered 13 service members with the vital skills needed to navigate roads responsibly during their official field operations. Guided by the principles of Republic Act No. 4136 (the Land Transportation and Traffic Code), the training aimed to elevate road safety awareness, prevent vehicular accidents, and strengthen emergency response capabilities among our nation's defenders.

A major highlight of the program was the hands-on mastery of the standard "DR. BLOWBAGSY" pre-operation vehicle inspection. Through practical demonstrations, participants learned to rigorously check their service vehicles to ensure complete roadworthiness and operational safety before hitting the road. Equipped with these defensive driving practices and a renewed commitment to strict maintenance checks, these capable personnel are now better prepared to protect the public and safely execute their duties.
