A Taiwan naval vessel departed for Cebu on November 25, carrying 530 metric tons of relief supplies for the Philippines in the wake of Super Typhoon Yolanda.

The supplies included solar generators, tents, rice, clothing, crackers and cookies, ready-to-eat food and drinking water, all donated by Taiwan citizens, civic organizations and charity groups such as the World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce, Dharma Drum Mountain, Roman Catholic Diocese of Taichung and National Fishermen’s Association. The Chung He class tank-landing ship is expected to reach Cebu in four days.
