Last 23 March 2018, volunteers from the Tzu Chi Foundation and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office worked hand in hand to load three 40 foot containers with 18,900 blankets to be sent to the Philippines. These blankets will be part of Tzu Chi Foundation’s disaster relief preparation stock in the Philippines. The Tzu Chi Foundation is a Buddhist volunteer group that has provided humanitarian aid to the Philippines especially during times of calamities. MECO Deputy Representative Carlo L. Aquino was also there to help and express our country’s sincerest appreciation to all the love that the donors and volunteers have shown to the Filipino people.
