The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles ) Northern Mindanao Region organized for the very first time the REMAC 10 ( Regional Elections Monitoring & Assistance Center ) wherein we had served as the official communication arm of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).

Being the lead convenor, the Philippine Eagles Northern Mindanao Region has sponsored the series of meetings & updates.

The actual operation started May 8,2010 when Macajalar Eagles Club & ACRC put up Base Radio Communication in the different COMELEC Offices ( City, Province & Region). Different communication centers were also set up in Iligan City by Maria Cristina Eagles Club, in Quezon Bukidnon by Quezon Eagles Club, in Malaybalay City Bukidnon by Malaybalay City Eagles Club and in Cagayan de Oro by Macajalar Eagles Club, Cagayan de Oro Eagles Club, Golden Friendship Eagles Club, Makahambus Eagles Club & Opol Eagles Club.
