Together with PCSO, First Lady Liza Marcos Gives Out Food Packs
First Lady Liza Marcos went out to distribute “Charitimba” pack to the Filipinos in Manila affected by the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
President Bongbong Marcos is currently in the United States for a meeting with United States Pres. Donald Trump. They talked about important issues including war and peace as per the American leader. Pres. Donald Trump also criticized the previous admin in PH saying it did not get along with anyone. Despite being away from the country, Marcos Jr. recently issued an order for the immediate suspension of all the preparations for his upcoming 4th State of the Nation Address.
Pres. Bongbong Marcos wanted all the SONA-related preps to be immediately suspended as the country faces the onslaught of the Southwest Monsoon. According to the Office of the Executive Secretary, the President wants all efforts of the Department of Public Works and Highways and all the agencies concerned to be directed to the current situation in the country.
According to First Lady Liza Marcos, her “bossing”, seemingly pertaining to Pres. Bongbong Marcos, wish that he is here to help the Filipino people who are affected by the Habagat. Thus, the First Lady went out to give out “Charitimba” packs to the Filipinos affected by the inclement weather conditions in the country now.
First Lady Liza Marcos, together with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, gave out “Charitimba” to the residents of Legarda in Manila. Each pail contains ready-to-eat meals, three (3) kilograms of rice, canned goods, and other essentials. Based on the post, Philippine National Police chief Police General Nicolas Torre III was also present at the distribution of the “Charitimba”.
Before flying to the United States, Pres. Bongbong Marcos has given his go signal to the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to declare class suspensions in case of bad weather conditions. Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla previously sought an authority to make class suspensions citing that a centralized system will pave the way for an order to avoid the students and the people getting caught under a heavy rain or amid the flooding due to a delayed announcement.
However. DILG Sec. Jonvic Remulla and Laguna Governor Sol Aragones were recently criticized for allegedly being “unprofessional” over the announcements made. The Interior Secretary has already apologized over the matter.
Pres. Bongbong Marcos also defended the style of Remulla in making posts about the class suspensions due to the impacts of the Habagat in the country.
