Several people raised a question after knowing that Sazon recently formed his own rescue group, the PNR with a scope of operation within Western Visayas.
Sazon was the former squadron Commander of the 601st PCGA based in Iloilo.
Speculations hounded, saying that too much politics and power play inside the Iloilo's most outstanding volunteer group, the PCGA, was the very reason that Sazon decided to make his own rescue group.
In a previous interview during the search and retrieval operation of a drowning victim, Mark Anthony Supeña in Jaen Beach Resort in Leganes, Iloilo, Sazon confirmed that he brought along with him his strong and active rescuers from the PCGA when he left the said rescue unit.
Aside from being a bona fide lifesaver and rescue volunteer, Sazon confirmed that he also brought with him the facilities and equipment, including the mobile patrol, two watercrafts, and other water rescue gears.
The PCGA, under Sazon received the Golden Kalasag Award from the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) and the President of the Republic of the Philippines for their untiring effort in search and rescue operations during calamities.
The PNR team is now the fifth rescue group operating in Iloilo after Mountain Tigers, Royal Eagle, the Black Panther and the PCGA volunteers' group.
