PCG receives more relief goods from China Coast Guard

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has received additional relief goods from the China Coast Guard (CCG) to aid victims of the Taal Volcano eruption.

The donation includes 600 pieces of N95 face masks, 50 sacks of rice, 10 boxes of oil, and 50 kilograms of sugar, delivered onboard the BRP Tubbataha.

PCG has deployed an additional 100 personnel to Batangas to augment government relief efforts for those affected by the ongoing eruption.

These personnel, along with the donations, arrived on Thursday via the BRP Tubbataha, a 44-meter multi-role response vessel.

The donations were received during a cross-deck visit by PCG officials to a CCG vessel on Tuesday.

Throughout the week, the PCG has been involved in evacuating residents, providing relief goods, and medical assistance.

The Taal Volcano began its eruption on Sunday, and PHIVOLCS indicates a "hazardous eruption" remains imminent due to intense seismic activity, despite weak ash plumes.
