Part 4/7:
In a poignant contrast to the geopolitical developments, the Philippines also honored the memory of Japanese doctor Tetsu Nakamura, who was tragically gunned down in Afghanistan five years ago. A memorial service was held in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, where about 90 people, including staff from the medical NGO Pasar Wakai, gathered to pay tribute to Nakamura. His dedication to provide medical care and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people spanned over three decades.
Nakamura was particularly known for his contributions to building irrigation facilities in Afghanistan's arid regions following a devastating drought in 2000. His legacy continues through the ongoing projects of Pasar Wakai, demonstrating his lasting impact on the communities he worked with.
