#LeniLugaw: Leni pokes fun at bashers, serves lugaw, pandesal at Batangas relief operation
Vice President Leni Robredo directly confronted online trolls by embracing the "Leni Lugaw" moniker and personally distributing lugaw (porridge) to Taal Volcano evacuees in Batangas and Cavite.
Robredo's act of service was a witty response to those who used the term "Leni Lugaw" to mock her online.
In addition to the lugaw, she also provided 1,500 food packs, hygiene kits, sleeping mats, and blankets to the displaced residents.
She also distributed pan de sal, indirectly addressing a false claim made by pro-administration propagandist Mocha Uson regarding the contents of previous relief donations.
The "Leni Lugaw" taunt originated from pictures of her campaign team selling porridge during the 2016 elections to help raise funds due to her initial low campaign finances and awareness ratings.
