JAPAN DELIVERS PHP 16.7M EMERGENCY RELIEF GOODS FOR EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

 

 

 

Japanese Ambassador Toshinao Urabe will attend a turn-over ceremony of Japan’s emergency relief goods for the victims of a strong earthquake that hit the central part of the Philippines on October 15 to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The ceremony will be held at DSWD in Quezon City at 11 o’clock in the morning tomorrow.


The assistance, worth 38 million yen (approximately 16.7 million pesos), aims to alleviate the difficulties of the people affected by the calamity. It includes 150 tents and 485 plastic sheets expected to mitigate the difficult living conditions in and around evacuation centers.


The emergency assistance was announced yesterday in light of friendly relations between the two nations and in line with the Japanese Government’s commitment to assist the Philippines’ disaster management efforts.
