Outgoing US Ambassador Sung Kim gets an award on the same day when President Rodrigo Duterte pardoned US soldier Joseph Scott Pemberton.
When Kim started his tour of duty, it was also just two years since Pemberton killed Laude – a murder that had fueled calls for the Philippines to end a two-decade Visiting Forces Agreement with the US. It was under Goldberg’s watch, during the Aquino presidency, when Laude was murdered.and said it was suspending this termination for at least 6 months.
Most recently, Kim flew in 100 state-of-the-art ventilators, made in America, to help in the Philippines’ fight against COVID-19. The US has donated at least P1 billion to help the Philippines weather the pandemic.– Rappler.com
