In the middle of the night on May 12, a Chinese military transport plane carrying anti-epidemic materials for the Philippine army flew to Manila Noi Aquino International Airport. At Fivilamo Air Force Base, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian and Philippine Defense Minister Lorenzana jointly attended the handover ceremony of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense's assistance to the Philippine army in fighting against epidemic diseases. Ambassador Huang Xilian handed over the material box with the words "Thousands of Near Neighbors, Together in Wind and Rain" to Minister Lorenzana, and a warm applause broke out. Ambassador Huang Xilian said that the Chinese and Philippine armed forces joined hands in the fight against the epidemic, which exemplified the partnership in the new era of working together.
Huang Xilian said that in order to help the Philippines overcome the new coronary pneumonia epidemic as soon as possible, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense decided to provide the Philippines Ministry of Defense and the armed forces with a batch of emergency anti-epidemic material assistance, including masks, isolation suits, goggles, and more than 80,000 pieces of anti-epidemic equipment . We hope that these materials can be distributed to the front line of anti-epidemic as soon as possible to provide effective protection for anti-epidemic staff.
