Farolan, the MMDA K9 Corps, the UP ROTC, and the UP Vanguard Inc., formally started the UP-MMDA-Vanguard K9 Search and Rescue Training course last 26 August 2017 at the UP DMST Complex, UP Diliman. The said project offers free training for dog owners and their dogs for them to become “community-based search and rescue assets in times of emergencies and disasters.”

Furthermore, the proponents aim to “incorporate K9 training and mobilization” in the UP DRRM Plan and other community-based resiliency programs.
There will be eight regular training sessions to be held every Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the UP DMST Complex, and primarily conducted by the MMDA K9 Corps. After completion of the basic course, the dog owners and their K9s may continue as volunteers under the project.
