US donates Usd 29.3 million of Military Equipment to the Philippines

The United States (US) has just donated Usd 29.3 million (Php 1.38 billion at the Exchange Rate of Usd 1 = Php 47.1) worth of Military Equipment to the Philippines which includes Sniper Rifles, Helmets, Bomb Suits, Metal Detectors and Scopes. 

******************************

One thing you will notice is that this donation is bigger than the ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) donation they made to the Philippine Navy (PN) last November 25, 2020 which was worth only around Usd 14.79 million. 

It is also bigger than the donation of Precision Guided Munitions (PGM) to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) they did last November 23, 2020 which was worth only Usd 18 million. 

However, while they itemized most or all of the items they donated to those 2 occasions before, this time they didn’t, I’m not sure of the reason for that.
