Supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo celebrated her 56th birthday by marking April 23 as the “National Lugaw Day”.
Robredo’s Supporters again turned to lugaw for a national feeding program to mark her 56th birthday.
In a report on Rappler, Robredo’s supporters celebrated her birthday by marking April 23 as “National Lugaw Day” through a simultaneous feeding program in more than 100 sites across the Philippines.
Blogger Jover Laurio, one of the volunteers who arranged the feeding program, said that they wanted to give the Vice President a meaningful birthday celebration and the best way to do it was to feed the hungry and needy countrymen who were badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

Laurio also said that they started the feeding program with 15 teams last February and the plan snowballed to 12 other areas last March. For Leni Robredo’s birthday, the teams identified feeding stations in 103 sites in the Philippines — from Baguio City up north to Basilan down south.
The said initiative came as millions of Filipinos struggled to keep ends meet after the coronavirus pandemic caused business closures and job losses amidst steep quarantine measures in parts of the country — including the Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, Leni Robredo shared in her Facebook post that she received a copy of “Dancing Waters” — a storybook that was published by Adarna Books — on the eve of her birthday and she considered it as a “perfect birthday gift”.
