MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO)Secretary Martin Andanar on Friday viewed China\u2019s donation of broadcast equipment to the Philippines as a \u201chuge boost\u201d to state-owned regional radio stations.<\/p>\n

Andanar\u2019s statement came after he and Chinese Vice Minister Wang Shouwen signed and exchanged certificates on the Philippine Radio Equipment Project on Thursday at Ayuntamiento de Manila in Intramuros, Manila.<\/p>\n

The certificates provide for the Chinese donation of broadcasting equipment to the PCOO\u2019s Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS).<\/p>\n

The donation, which includes live broadcast room equipment, FM broadcast transmitter equipment, and medium wave transmitter equipment, will be used by government-run radio stations in Davao City, Cagayan de Oro City, Bataan, and Cebu City, Andanar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese (pieces of) equipment will be used to renovate our radio stations in Davao City, Cagayan De Oro, Bataan, Cebu City. These will be a huge boost to our radio operations in the entire Philippines,\u201d the Communications chief said.<\/p>\n

The Communications Secretary also thanked Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua for facilitating the donation.<\/p>\n

Andanar said the donation proves a \u201cvery healthy\u201d relations between the two nations in the field of communications.<\/p>\n

He also took note of the improving media exchanges between Manila and Beijing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship between the Philippines and China in the field of communications is very healthy. We have been sending media practitioners to the People\u2019s Republic of China to observe the media landscape of China, in the same way, that the Chinese government is also sending [media] members to the Philippines to observe,\u201d Andanar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see our relationship growing stronger and stronger,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andanar noted that the two countries also inked bilateral documents in the fields of infrastructure, agriculture, trade, and customs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
