GMA 7's News To Go Interview

Our partner, RedAnts Media, Inc., was interviewed last Jan 20, 2014 by GMA 7's News To Go regarding the use of Aerial Drones in the Philippines.

Mac Eugenio of RedAnts Media, Inc. brought his DJI S800 and the ImmersionRCs Xugong10 (owned by both RedAnts and Clearskies Aerial Robotics Services). Mac also discussed the capabilities and importance of safety when operating Aerial Drones. Aerial Survey Videos (taken by RedAnts assisted by Clearskies) from Bohol Earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan's damage to Tacloban were played during the interview.

Both Clearskies Aerial Robotics Services and RedAnts Media, Inc. offers free use of their drones to Philippine Government / Local and International Organizations for FREE for aerial survey / damage assessment brought by natural calamities.

It is never too late to help Leyte

RedAnts Media Inc together with Clearskies Aerial Robotics Services assisted Tzu Chi Philippines in conducting aerial survey (Jan 3, 2014 - Jan 4, 2014) for their humanitarian projects at Leyte Province.

Aerial videos and photos were taken on the coastal barangays of Tanauan and Palo to help Tzu Chi visualize the scope of damage brought by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). Also, it will help them assess what they have done so far.

Armed with DJI S800, Z15 and ImmersionRC Xugong 10 the team was able to travel at a lighter load and less man power to operate. On typical missions we usually travel with 3 crew members and 90 kilos or more of baggage. Since direct air travel to the typhoon stricken province is a bit hard and expensive we decided to travel light.

RedAnts and Clearskies is currently in talks also with other international organizations operating in Leyte Province and will most likely come back anytime soon.
