AFP, nakatanggap ng P68-M halaga ng medical supplies mula sa Australia
Nakatanggap ang Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) ng P68 milyong halaga ng karagdagang medical supplies at equipment mula sa Australian government para sa pagpapaigting ng COVID-19 response sa bansa, araw ng Huwebes, May 27.
Personal na tinanggap nina Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana at AFP Chief of Staff General Cirilito Sobejana ang donasyon sa Ceremonial Turn-over sa Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
Present sa seremonya sina His Excellency Steven Robinson AO, Australian Ambassador to the Philippines at Colonel Paul Joseph Barta, Defense Attaché, at Australian Embassy Manila.
“In the midst of a complex and volatile security environment, Australia has continuously extended its support in the endeavors and advocacies of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and of course, our national government. In particular, Australia has been a dependable partner in confronting the prevailing health crisis,” pahayag ni Sobejana.
Ang naturang donasyon ay gagamitin ng AFP Health Service Command (AFPHSC) sa patuloy na paglaban sa pandemya.
Naunang naiparating ng Australian government ang inisyal na donasyon ng hospital at personal protective equipment sa Victoriano Luna Medical Center noong June 11, 2020.
Ani Sobejana, sakto ang pagdating ng dagdag na tulong para mapagbuti ang medical resources upang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng AFP personnel.
“The donation of 68 million peso-worth of medical supplies and equipment to our health and service command will surely be of great benefit to our soldiers and their dependents,” saad nito.
Dagdag pa nito, “The Armed Forces of the Philippines will continuously work alongside our Australian counterparts to promote our shared interests and aspirations of our two nations and to further strengthen our decades-long mutually beneficial partnership.”
