146th PC Ranger Company

The 405th AP K-9 Section had a very well established working relationship with this unit commanded by Lt. Laudemer Kahulugan. Many break days were spent in this units base camp near the  town of San Fernando.

Members of this unit would take K9 handlers to their home villages while on Military Leave and introduce them to the many different cultural varieties.

Just prior to the 1963 November elections, the 146th PC Rangers placed Angeles City under martial law after raiding the homes of 12 Angeles City policemen seizing 56 missing weapons believed to have been involved in numerous "HUK" killings. They set-up their headquarters in a school house on the edge of town on main highway going to Manila. We (K9 handlers) would again spend our breaks living in the school house with the men of this company. Angeles City was a major nerve center for the Huk movement in Central Luzon during this time period.
