Volunteers, including the former vice president of the Philippines, were captured handing out relief goods to Naga City residents in photos by Egine Oquindo Baral shared by non-government organization Kaya Natin! Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership. “Sinuong ni former VP Leni Robredo ang mataas na baha para maghatid ng malinis na tubig at relief goods sa mga kababayan natin sa Naga City,” the post read.
In another set of photos by Raffy Magno, the NGO wrote, “Sa kabila ng dilim at mataas na baha, patuloy ang pag-iikot ni [former] VP Leni Robredo sa Naga City upang magbigay ng relief goods sa mga kababayan nating sinalanta ng Bagyong #KristinePH.”
Meanwhile, Atty. Leni Robredo officially closed Angat Buhay and Kaya Natin! Movement’s #BangonNAGA donation drive in a more recent Facebook post. “MARAMING SALAMAT PO,” Atty. Leni Robredo expressed. “Sa pagtatapos ng #BangonNAGA donation drive ng Kaya Natin! Movement at Jesse M. Robredo Foundation, nakapag-raise tayo ng higit ₱22.8 million para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong #KristinePH sa Naga City.”

“These figures are not final,” Atty. Leni Robredo clarified, “as Kaya Natin and JMRF wait for donations made via check deposits to be cleared on the next banking day.”
“Malayo ang mararating ng tulong ninyo para masuportahan ang disaster response operations ng Angat Buhay,” Atty. Leni Robredo reassured. “Thank you po sa inyong lahat!
