ICYMI: Vice President Leni Robredo is on her way to Bohol to personally check the situation on the ground, after the area and nearby province were badly hit by Typhoon Odette.
“Alam naman natin si VP, talagang hands-on ang kanyang approach eh, so balak niyang magpunta sa mga areas na tinamaan mismo ng bagyo, makita first-hand at maka-usap ‘yong mga taong tinamaan, at lalong maayos nang mabuti at maging angkop ‘yong kailangang assistance na kailangang ibigay,” he added.
Earlier, Robredo said that they are converting the volunteer space along Katipunan Avenue, which has been used for her presidential campaign, to a relief operations center that would accommodate donations to be sent out to areas ravaged by Odette. Robredo is personally supervising relief operations for those affected by Typhoon Odette at her volunteer center in Quezon City.
“Starting today, puwede na pong mag-drop off ng mga in-kind donations dito. We have also partnered with Tanging Yaman Foundation para sa cash donations mula sa mga gustong tumulong. I-check na lang po sa aming Facebook Page ang link dito,” she added.As of Friday noon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said Odette was able to maintain its strength as it moves closer to mainland Palawan.
