A day after President Rodrigo Duterte and his Cabinet members visited southern Negros, Vice President Leni Robredo and former presidential daughter Kris Aquino also visited and distributed relief goods in those devastated areas.
Robredo said that they came to Negros without any agenda, but to help.
“I personally came to make them feel, that I am with them, and they are not alone in this time, while coping up from the devastation of the typhoon, the vice president said.
Aquino and her fiancé, former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Sarmiento, joined Robredo in the distribution of relief goods in cities of Kabankalan and Himamaylan, Negros Occidental.
Robredo distributed P1 million worth of rice assistance, excluding hundreds of canned goods.
Aquino also pledged 1,000 kilograms of bottled water, 500 simpacks with P100 load each to Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson, who had welcomed them in Kabankalan City.*
