The Indian government is offering the Philippines at least seven helicopters that will be used for the rescue and humanitarian efforts of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) during disasters in the country, President of the Philippines said in an official statement on Sunday.
President Ferdinand R Marcos Jr said that India’s offer to provide helicopters to the PCG will be a big help to the Philippine government’s efforts to build up the country’s capabilities in terms of rescue and humanitarian efforts.
The President, in the statement, added that it will also be “a big contribution for PCG’s maritime operations”.
