The Japanese government on Tuesday handed over emergency relief goods to the Philippines in response to the devastation brought by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Northern Luzon.

Japanese Ambassador Koshikawa Kazuhiko joined Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Chief Representative to Manila Sakamoto Takema in delivering the assistance to Philippine government representatives led by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Civilian Security and Consular Affairs Jesus Domingo at the NAIA Compound in Pasay City.

The emergency relief goods include generators, camping tents, sleeping pads, portable jerry cans and water containers, tarpaulins and plastic sheet covers, cord reels and adaptor plug sets.

At the arrival and turn over ceremony, Koshikawa conveyed his sympathies to those affected by the disaster, especially to the families who have lost loved ones.

“May this provision boost the relief efforts of Philippine authorities and ease the burden of communities devastated by the earthquake. Japan is in solidarity with you at this difficult time. Kasama nyo kami, Pilipinas,” Koshikawa wrote on his social media account.

In a separate statement, the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines conveyed its “deepest sympathies” to the bereaved families and all those who lost their homes and livelihood due to the devastating earthquake.

The powerful earthquake struck Luzon on Wednesday morning, July 27, leaving at least five dead with more than 60 injured.
