ROXAS CITY, Philippines (July 24, 2015) Leoderick Benitez, with the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office for Antique Province, talks about disaster relief strategies with other Filipino first responders, disaster relief coordinators and U.S. Navy personnel at Capiz State University. The discussion was part of a week-long humanitarian assistance disaster relief symposium held in conjunction with the hospital ship USNS Mercy’s (T-AH 19) visit to the Philippines for Pacific Partnership 2015. Mercy is currently in the Philippines for its third mission port of PP15. Pacific Partnership is in its tenth iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,999 animals. Additionally, the mission has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through more than 180 engineering projects.
