‎
‎True to its title as the "Integrator," the 1502nd Ready Reserve Infantry Brigade once again demonstrated the power of unity and collaboration. On the morning of May 17, 2026, under the leadership of COL ROLANDO V NOTO INF (GSC) PA (RES), the brigade spearheaded a massive joint clean-up drive at the Ermitaño Creek boundaries of Quezon City and Manila.
‎
‎This wasn’t just a solo mission; it was a masterclass in inter-agency cooperation. The high-impact operation successfully integrated 5 Reservist Officers and 23 Enlisted Reservists from the 1502nd RRIBde, 10 personnel from the 1st Bn, 1302nd RRIBn, 32 personnel from the Parola Philippine Coast Guard led by ENS Panganiban, and a DPWH team of 4 engineers and 11 personnel headed by OIC Roxanne Ferrer. ‎Before deployment, COL NOTO and MAJ BERNARDEZ conducted a rigorous briefing with the DPWH and PCG leaders to map out the most critical choking points of the creek.
‎
‎The heavy integration paid off massively. By 11:50, the joint forces successfully cleared a staggering 118 large garbage bags of waste—hauling 60 bags from Ermitaño Bridge near Madison Hotel and 58 bags near the Barangay Hall. By removing this debris ahead of the rainy season, the team significantly mitigated flood risks for the surrounding communities. By seamlessly collaborating with other uniformed services and government agencies, the 1502nd RRIBde perfectly executed its mission as the Integrator. Outstanding job to all hands on deck!

‎This operation went deeper than just clearing trash. While the troops cleared massive amounts of debris and garbage to restore the creek's water flow, youth volunteers actively gathered data and conducted socio-civic interviews with 30 families living under the bridge to check on their welfare.
‎
‎The high-impact joint effort was personally inspected on-site by COL RAUL S VIGO (GSC) PA, the CDC Director, who oversaw the operations and the youth volunteers' community engagement.

‎𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐒 | Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders: ROTC LEADERSHIP TRAINING
‎
‎The future of the Cadet Corps is in good hands. On May 10, 2026, the next generation of top student-leaders gathered at the NCRRCDG Conference Room in Fort Bonifacio for an intensive leadership workshop designed to sharpen their command capabilities.
‎
‎The Spotlight:
‎The high-impact session was led by no less than COL ROLANDO V NOTO GSC (INF) PA (RES) Brigade Commander of 1502nd Ready Reserve Infantry Brigade, alongside LTC GERALD ABERGOS PA (RES). Together, they provided invaluable elite mentorship to 28 incoming 1st Class Cadet Officers representing various ROTC Units under the National Capital Region Regional Community Defense Group (NCRRCDG).
‎
‎The workshop focused on practical, real-world leadership strategies that these incoming First class cadet officers can immediately deploy within their respective units. COL Noto and LTC Abergos emphasized that true military leadership isn't just about giving orders—it’s about managing personnel, maintaining institutional discipline, and inspiring excellence by example.
