VP Leni Robredo distributes lugaw, relief goods to typhoon victims

Vice President Leni Robredo personally delivered hot "lugaw" or rice porridge, along with other essential items like blankets, diapers, and face masks, to evacuees affected by typhoon "Ulysses".

She visited evacuation centers and brought snacks and relief goods for those displaced by the typhoon.

The "lugaw" she provided has been colloquially referred to as "Leni Lugaw" or "Lugaw Leni" by detractors, stemming from her past fundraising efforts.

Robredo denied Sunday that she distributed relief packs with her name on it for victims of typhoon "Ulysses", stating that none of the packs bore her name or that of her office.

She visited areas badly hit by Ulysses in Marikina City and Rizal and brought relief items and other forms of assistance such as hot meals, mattresses, and slippers.

The Office of the Vice President's partners and donors contributed the various relief items distributed.

VP Robredo also encouraged the public to extend help to typhoon victims by donating basic necessities, emphasizing that donations need not be coursed through her office.
