Salute to GMA Public Affairs. 🫡
Thank you for standing with us in honoring K9 Gabay as this brave warrior stands down from duty.

Your condolences and recognition mean everything to the handlers and units who know the true cost of service.

Though the leash has dropped, Gabay’s legacy remains unbroken thanks to your tribute.

Bark at once. Mission accomplished. 🐾🇵🇭

Run free, ‘Gabay’! 🕊️

Sa loob ng maraming taon, naging katuwang si ‘Gabay’ sa search and rescue operations, disaster response missions, at pagtulong sa mga komunidad at hayop na naapektuhan ng kalamidad.

Noong 2024, naging bahagi rin siya ng veterinary mission at relief operations ng Born To Be Wild sa Mt. Kanlaon.

Maraming salamat sa iyong serbisyo at kabayanihan, ‘Gabay’!
