The rescue effort by the Search and Rescue Unit Foundation (SARUF) and local rescue teams in Brgy. Cabbo, Cagayan, was a crucial response to the devastating impact of super typhoon Lawin. The collapse of the Cabbo Bridge due to the powerful forces of the typhoon isolated approximately 13 barangays in the Tuguegarao area of Cagayan Valley. This isolation made it essential for the rescue teams to swiftly evacuate and assist those affected, as they were cut off from essential supplies and services.

The joint effort exemplifies the strength and unity of the community and the unwavering commitment of the rescue teams to serve and protect the affected population during times of crisis.
