They were joined by fellow judges, prosecutors, private lawyers, and legal professionals from both the public and private sectors.
According to Atty. Lantin, KMB remains committed to providing humanitarian services through legal missions, community outreach, seminars, and donation drives.
The group draws inspiration from the historic legacy of the 20 Young Women of Malolos, known for their courage and advocacy for education and reform.
KMB’s founding president is retired Court of Appeals Associate Justice Aurora Santiago-Lagman, who now serves as its President Emeritus.
Evacuees expressed their deep gratitude to all the groups that provided support, especially those who brought food for the children, which helped ease the difficulties they faced due to the flooding.
