                    [Summary] => The Japanese embassy in Manila announced yesterday a grant of close to P1 billion to the Philippines, including anti-crime equipment to the Philippine National Police (PNP).


The announcement coincided with the working visit of President Arroyo in Japan, her fourth since assuming office in January 2001.


"These developments form part of Japan’s cooperation with the Philippines, which is expected to reach another milestone with the ongoing visit of President Arroyo," the embassy said.
