The Philippines and Japan’s bilateral ties overcame difficult times en route to today's "golden age" relationship, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Saturday. Kishida made the statement during his address before the special joint session of Congress, making him the first-ever Japanese Prime Minister to deliver a speech before the Philippine Congress.
He cited the Philippines sending a medical team and Filipino caregiver candidates who extended assistance to Japan during the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Kishida said Japan reciprocated this generosity by providing aid to the Philippines when the country was devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. “When Typhoon Yolanda struck in 2013, Japanese people from the disaster-stricken area of Tohoku went to the Philippines to assist in the recovery and reconstruction efforts.
