‘No agenda’: Robredo says helping typhoon victims is not about politics
Vice President Leni Robredo emphasized that her focus in visiting areas affected by Typhoon Odette is solely on providing disaster relief and assistance, with no political motives.
She stated that during calamities, political affiliations should be disregarded, and the priority should be uniting to help those in need.
Robredo visited Himamaylan, Negros Occidental, and provided relief goods and food to typhoon victims.
She expressed gratitude for any appreciation of the OVP's efforts, reiterating that their only agenda is to help fellow Filipinos.
This comes after a fake news quote card circulated, falsely attributing supportive words about the OVP's relief efforts to President Duterte.
