MANILA, Philippines - The Israeli government has distributed relief goods to Marikina City residents affected by tropical storm "Maring" last August.

The relief program, led by Ambassador Menashe Bar On and Mayor Del de Guzman, was conducted Thursday at the the Marikina Sports Complex.
 
The food and perishable goods were given to the residents of several villages of the city.
 
"Israel has a long history of helping others, the Holocaust taught us that we have a responsibility towards each other as human beings, and should always help no matter of our cultural differences," Bar On said.
 
In the Philippines, Israel had sent medical teams and donated relief goods during typhoon Ondoy in 2009) and rains brought by "Habagat" in 2012.
