On the second day of his three-day Manila visit, PM Modi arrived at the MPFI to "demonstrate India's support for its activities in distributing free prosthesis "Jaipur Foot" among the needy amputee," according to his official website. At the foundation, PM Modi met 9-year old Carlo Migel Silvano from Bulakan province, who is one of thousands of people in Philippines fitted with the Indian-made 'Jaipur Foot', MEA spokesperson said. MPFI, a long running humanitarian cooperation programme between India and the Philippines, was set up by Indian-origin Mayor of Manila Dr. Ramon Bagatsing. About 750 amputees benefited from the programme in 2017, the PMO said.
