US Embassy in the Philippines Chargé d’Affaires (CDA) ad interim Heather Variava conveyed this during her recent visit in Zamboanga City to deliver Covid-19 assistance.
Variava reaffirmed her country’s commitment to security cooperation in Zamboanga in a meeting with Zamboanga Mayor Maria Isabelle ‘Beng’ Climaco Salazar as she thanked him for supporting US partnerships.
In handing over Covid-19 aid, Variava stated, “combating the Covid-19 pandemic requires collective action. I am pleased that the enduring partnership between our two nations has fortified Zamboanga City’s pandemic response.”
“In collaboration with national and local governments, the private sector, and other key stakeholders, the United States will continue to implement adaptive solutions to strengthen local communities in the Philippines,” she added.
Variava handed over essential Covid-19 medical equipment from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to Zamboanga City’s molecular testing center in Barangay San Roque.
The US government, through USAID, has supported Zamboanga City’s pandemic response and vaccination rollout since June 2020.
It has deployed mobile vaccination teams, composed of three emergency medical technicians and one information technology (IT) staff to boost the city’s vaccination capabilities. It also deployed six consultants in major vaccination sites to support data encoding and reporting.
During the meeting with Climaco, they were also joined by alumni from the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative and Philippine Youth Leadership Program, who discussed activities undertaken by the US Government Alumni Association in Zamboanga City.
