MANILA: Private organizations have donated about 190 cases of assorted food items for troops manning the various detachments in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippine Navy (PN) has said.
Philippine Navy chief Vice Admiral Toribio Adaci Jr. received the donation during a ceremonial hand-over Tuesday in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.
“Their donations are gestures of love, compassion, support, and concern towards every sailor and marines deployed in distant posts, especially in Philippine-held features in the WPS,” Adaci said.
Adaci thanked the private sponsors, saying the donation was a testament to the strong support that the Navy troops get from fellow Filipinos.
“The defense of our nation is the responsibility of every Filipino and we are very fortunate to have organizations such as the GMA Kapuso Foundation, Century Pacific Group, and Grand Nourriture as our partners in ensuring that our troops can effectively perform their mandate,” he added.
The donation was made possible by the collaboration of the N
avy’s Civil-Military Operations Group, GMA Kapuso Foundation in partnership with Century Pacific Foods, Inc. and Grand Nourriture.
