From the Philippine Information Agency (Nov 27): AFP Chief visits Israeli field hospital in Bogo
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Emmanuel T. Bautista visited the Israeli field hospital in Bogo City recently.
Along with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) commanders, Lt. Gen Bautista surveyed the field hospital where he heard directly from the local people the tremendous effect the Israeli operations had in the area following the devastation left by Typhoon Yolanda.
Bautista commended the Israeli troops on their dedication and hard work and spoke of the friendship between the two countries.
During his tour at the field hospital, he stopped beside an incubator and held a newly-born baby with a smile on his face.
Israeli Colonel Yoram Laredo on the other hand said the level of cooperation achieved after the delegations’ arrival in the Philippines had been remarkable and that it was an honor and a privilege for Israel to be able to extend a hand in friendship in such troubled times.
The field hospital started operating on Nov. 15 in front of the Severo Verallo Memorial District Hospital. Since then, they have been treating from 200-300 patients daily as well as delivering births.
