Last November, the DSWD received over P35 million from China for recovery and rehabilitation efforts in calamity-stricken areas. This was on top of the P60 million donated by the Chinese government for families affected by Typhoon Lawin in October.
During the visit of President Rodrigo Duterte to China in November, the Chinese government committed to a $9-billion (P449 billion) soft loan for development projects, including drug rehabilitation programs.
