Ogie Diaz Urges Candidates to Aid Typhoon Kristine Victims in CamSur
Ogie Diaz – The TV host and comedian, called on candidates for the 2025 midterm elections and party-list groups to help those affected by Typhoon Kristine, especially in the CamSur area.
In a Facebook post, he urged those who filed their candidacy papers in early October, particularly those planning to run in the Bicol region, to show their commitment to the community by assisting their fellow residents.
Ogie challenged current officials to highlight their efforts, stating that if they have proof of assistance and rescue activities, they should share it to avoid being judged. He pointed out that people are noticing the continued support from Atty. Leni Robredo, even though she no longer holds a government position, emphasizing her and Angat Buhay’s visible efforts to help others.
“O, yung mga tatakbong senador diyan at partylist, o! Eto na ang pagkakataon nyo para tulungan ang Camsur. Para patunayan kung talagang para sa tao kayo,” Ogie said. “Lalo na yung mga nakaupo doon, baka me mga resibo ng pagtulong, pag-ayuda at pag-rescue kayo na pwedeng ilabas para hindi kayo nadya-judge, ilapag na dito,” he added.
Ogie expressed concern that politicians should not wait for the campaign period to show their support, stressing the importance of being proactive in helping those in need. He stated that it would be embarrassing for these candidates to only make their presence felt during the campaign, urging them to take action sooner. Overall, Ogie’s message highlighted the need for genuine community support from those seeking public office and the urgency of providing immediate help to those affected by the recent disaster.
“Si Mam Leni Gerona Robredo na walang posisyon at ang Angat Buhay ang madalas naming makitang tumutulong,” Ogie said. “Kilos na dahil nakakahiya naman kung during campaign period lang kayo makikita. Nakakahiya naman sa inyo,” he stressed.
