If only more countries treated us and acknowledged us as the Philipines did !!! CUISIA REITERATES GRATITUDE TO US FOR TYPHOON ASSISTANCE WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Philippine Embassy reiterated its deep gratitude to the United States Government and the American people for their support and assistance in helping the Philippines cope with the devastating effects of Typhoon Haiyan. “To the United States Government and the American people, I stand here tonight to express our deep gratitude to your support and assistance,” Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. said in his remarks during the opening on Monday night of the “Made in PH” furniture industry showcase at the Romulo Hall of the Philippine Embassy. “I would like to acknowledge with sincere appreciation the numerous expressions of sympathy to my countrymen, not only those directly affected by the recent super typhoon Haiyan, victims and survivors alike now struggling to live, but also the score of rescue and relief workers who, with their tireless work and generosity give hope and faith in humankind,” Ambassador Cuisia said. The Filipino envoy said Washington had offered its assistance to Manila even before the typhoon made landfall on 8 November and is now leading international efforts to provide relief to more than 10 million people who have been affected by the disaster. The US has not only provided air and naval assets and personnel that are now playing a critical role in the disaster relief effort but also more than $37 million in humanitarian assistance. This does not include assistance from US-based Charities and individuals. Thank you Philipines for knowing who your real friends are
