Amid the taping of “Agimat ng Agila” season 2, Sen. Bong Revilla took time to visit places in the Visayas that were badly hit by typhoon Odette in December.
His stop overs were in Siargao and Dinagat Islands last Jan. 20.
In coordination with Kaagapay sa Araw ng Pangangailangan-Bayanihan Relief (KAP-BR), Sen. Bong distributed food packs, rice and UPVC roof and various roofing panels for devastated homes in the two islands.
Thousands of food packs, sacks of rice, and thousands of UPVC roof and roofing panels were given to the typhoon victims.
The aid was turned over through the Dapa Command Center, headed by League of Mayors of the Philippines President and Mayor Liza Resurrecion of Pilar, Surigao del Norte.
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, who had earlier accepted the chairmanship of Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, also helped them in the distribution of relief goods.
Sen. Bong was also joined in by the first nominee for the Agimat Partylist Bryan Revilla.
In Dinagat Islands, Sen. Bong and his entourage were welcomed by Congressman Alan Ecleo and Vice Governor Nilo Demery, who received the food packs, rice, and roofing materials for the affected constituents.
Realizing the assistance was not enough, Sen. Bong promised to go back there for more food packs, rice, and roofing materials for typhoon victims.
