Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian on Friday said more donations are arriving to help the country in its fight against COVID-19.
The new batch of donations, according to the Chinese diplomat, will arrive in Manila “in the near future,” adding that this is on top of the large quantities of medical supplies that were already given to the Philippines by various Chinese groups and individuals such as the Jack Ma Foundation, Hong Kong Prudential Enterprise, Huawei, Bank of China, Panhua Group, and many others.
Huang said the Chinese government has donated three batches of medical supplies to the Philippines, including 102,000 test kits, 400,000 surgical masks, 40,000 medical N95 masks, 15,000 medical protective suits, 5,000 medical face shields, and 30 non-invasive ventilators. “China has so far assisted the Philippines in purchasing nearly 10,000 cubic meters of anti-epidemic supplies and a large amount of medicine, effectively meeting the demand of the Philippines,” he said.
