The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is studying what assistance the Philippines can send to India as it grapples with a rising tide of coronavirus (Covid-19) infections, Malacañang said Thursday.
“I’m sure po pinag-iisipan na ‘yan ng ating Department of Foreign Affairs kung paano rin tayo makakatulong sa India,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a virtual presser Thursday.
Roque said that he will ask DFA what help will be extended to the South Asian nation.
“Pero tatanungin ko po kung ano ang padadala nating tulong kung meron man galing po sa ating Department of Foreign Affairs,” according to him.
