Vice President Sara Duterte personally visited families affected by Typhoon Tino in Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental, as shown in photos she shared on Facebook on Saturday, November 22. She said she went to Himamaylan National High School last week to meet evacuees.
“Binisita natin ang mga kababayan natin na naapektuhan ng Bagyong Tino sa Himamaylan National High School sa Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental noong isang linggo,” she wrote.
She added that the Office of the Vice President, through its Panay and Negros Island Satellite Office, delivered assistance to displaced residents.
“Sa pangunguna ng Office of the Vice President, Panay and Negros Island Satellite Office, nagpaabot tayo ng tulong sa mga pansamantalang evacuees sa naturang lugar.”
Duterte also recounted meeting Quincy, a woman celebrating her birthday inside the evacuation center.
“Doon, nakilala ko si Quincy, na nagdiriwang ng kanyang kaarawan kapiling ang kanyang mag-anak sa loob ng evacuation center. Sabay namin siyang inawitan ng maligayang pagbati sa kanyang kaarawan,” she said.
She ended her message with words of encouragement: “Patuloy tayong maging matatag sa gitna ng mga pagsubok. Mahalin natin ang Pilipinas—para sa Diyos, Bayan at sa bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.”
