Although the Department of Health said it could use a surgical mask as an alternative to ashfall, it should be an N95 mask or a surgical mask with a piece of tissue inside it.

“PCG and CCG are one with the vision of building a united community founded on peace, friendship, and cooperation where both people may grow stronger together in the next generations to come,” said the PCG.

Netizens, in turn, thanked them for putting aside the issue of rivalry in the West Philippine Sea and thanking the donation provided by China. Although there is a competition between China and the Philippines over the West Philippine Sea, goodwill still prevails in this instance.
