Humble Beginnings
UP MMDA VANGUARD K9 SAR volunteer efforts started out initially as a mere gathering of pet owners and dog enthusiasts who also happen to be advocates of culture of preparedness as recalled by Mr. Ramon Santiago, Technical Head of the MMDA K-9 Search and Rescue Unit. Mr. Santiago is a long-time veteran of the MMDA who served as head of its Flood Control and Information Center, and adviser to the Metro Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. He was also instrumental in the development of the Metro Yakal response plan, with five dogs trained by Engr. Ruben Sarmiento, Jr. founder of Falkor K-9 and support from combined sources of MMDA, Mr. Ray Villasensor and at times, voluntary services of Dr. May of Pet Lovers' Clinic. The Volunteer Program was born. The K9 Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteers project started out of necessity.
