After years of helping communities rebuild after typhoons and earthquakes, Finland is deepening its humanitarian partnership with the Philippines.
A delegation from the Finnish Red Cross visited the Philippines from March 11-13 to strengthen cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross.
During the visit, Finnish Red Cross Secretary General Eero Rämö met with Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard J. Gordon to discuss continued support for disaster recovery and community resilience.
The delegation also travelled to Cebu to see recovery efforts first-hand. There, assistance was distributed to 501 families in Tabuelan through cash grants and food services provided by the Philippine Red Cross.
Finland has for years supported disaster response efforts in the Philippines, where communities are frequently affected by typhoons and other natural disasters.
The visit highlighted the strong humanitarian ties between the two countries and their shared commitment to helping vulnerable communities recover and prepare for future disasters.
