Reeling from the economic crunch due to the government’s “mishandling” of the pandemic, volunteers and supporters of presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo rolled off various activities for the benefit of the underprivileged on “KakamPINK” Wednesday.
This was their response to Robredo’s aim of making her campaign all about unity and to bring out the goodness in the Filipino by helping needy communities, especially during the pandemic.
Robredo’s supporters and volunteers in Kidapawan City conducted a feeding program where they served hot “lugaw” with pink “puto” to poor residents.
Similar activities were conducted by their counterparts in Barangay Cembo in Makati City, Sitio Malalad Libertad in Butuan City, Pagbilao in Quezon province, San Simon in Pampanga, Bagong Silang in Oriental Mindoro.
Aside from “lugaw”, members of Tropang Leni Robredo San Simon Chapter also served hot pandesal, hard boiled egg and mineral water to 500 people, mostly children and senior citizens.
Before distributing “lugaw” to residents, members of QueLeni Tayo in Pagbilao, Quezon conducted a clean-up drive where they collected plastic waste in Barangay Parang for proper disposal as part of their initiative to keep the environment clean.
In Robredo’s hometown of Naga City, a coffee shop named Café Ancha distributed free pink pandesal for residents as part of their support for the presidential bet’s KakamPINK Wednesday initiative.
Vanity Lane Salon, a beauty parlor chain in Naga, is offering free haircuts every Wednesday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) for the entire month of November for people wearing pink and fully vaccinated as an expression of support for their fellow Bicolano.
In Pangasinan, Dagupan for Leni launched a photo contest and free jeepney ride dubbed as “Spot Biyaheng Leni Photo Contest!” and “Libreng Sakay Biyaheng Leni.” Aside from availing free ride from Dagupan to Calasiao, five contestants can also win Ricci Premium Truffles. The entry with the most number of likes on Facebook will win a special edition custom shirt.
