It’s not just rich and powerful countries who are helping the Philippines recover from super typhoon Yolanda aftermath, even the poor ones like Bangladesh, a third world country like ours has sent relief to aid the victims.

Philippine Navy said that the country which has lower GDP than the Philippines sent assorted relief goods to aid Yolanda victims. The Bangladesh Navy ship “BNS Somudra Joy” arrived yesterday at Manila’s South Harbor carrying around 40 tons of assorted relief goods.

Bangladesh has pledged $1 million or Php 43.7M for the typhoon victims, according to the PH government’s website.

CountryEconomy noted that Bangladesh had Php5.7 trillion GDP in 2012 while the Philippines had Php11.6 trillion, proving that you don’t need to be rich in order to help.
