Mayor Beng Climaco and Vice Mayor Rommel Agan received the donation.
The mayor thanked Washington for its continued support to the local government in fighting the pandemic. “Thank you very much US Government for the continuous partnership and support and assistance for the good of the people of Zamboanga and the entire country. Vaya con Dios,” she said.
The US government also donated in May over 100 boxes of personnel protective equipment, masks, goggles, thermometers and other medical supplies to the Zamboanga City Health Office, Zamboanga City Medical Center, West Metro Medical Center, Zamboanga Peninsula Medical Center and Ciudad Medical Center in response to the pandemic.
The donation was handed over by Major Nathan Golike, commander of the US Special Operations Task Force.
Climaco has praised Washington for the continued support Zamboanga is receiving through its various programs here and she even highlighted the strong partnership of the Philippines and the United States.
She said under her administration, Zamboanga City has been one of the priority areas in the country of the US- funded programs, which include technical assistance on governance, security, peace and conflict resolution, education, environmental protection, urban planning, revenue generation and health, especially at this coronavirus pandemic.
Manila received over P978 million ($19.5 million) in aid from the U.S. government to address the Covid-19 pandemic. And this was also complemented with donations of food, technology, and other assistance from American companies as a testament to their deep commitment to flatten the pandemic curve in the Philippines.
