The Philippines has expressed its gratitude to the international community for the outpouring of humanitarian support following the devastation caused by Typhoon Tino across Cebu and parts of Central Philippines.

- By ARGYLL CYRUS GEDUCOS

In a statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said the government “expresses its sincere appreciation” for the aid and solidarity shown by global partners in response to the widespread destruction left by the typhoon.

“We are deeply heartened by the many messages of sympathy and solidarity that we received from our international partners,” the DFA said.

The DFA welcomed, in particular, the offer of Timor-Leste, the newest member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), to send 120 Timorese engineers and firefighters to assist in clearing operations and rehabilitation efforts in affected areas.

We were only 32 years old, full of youthful optimism, conviction, and the boundless belief that politics, at its best, could still be a noble calling.
