The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Erwin Tulfo met former vice president Leni Robredo to discuss the offered help by her non-government organization, Angat Buhay.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Aug. 26, Tulfo said Robredo, who is now the Angat Buhay chairperson, visited the DSWD central office in Quezon City.
Robredo was joined by Angat buhay's executive director Raffy Magno during the visit.
“Nagprisinta si Mrs. Robredo na tutulong ang kanilang volunteers sa mga probinsya sa pagbigay ng agarang impormasyon sa DSWD hinggil sa mga lugar na tinamaan ng kalamidad para mahatiran agad ng ayuda,” Tulfo wrote in the post.
He then expressed his gratitude for Robredo’s visit, and for the initiatives of the organization’s volunteers to help the department.
In a shared post, Robredo said the Angat Buhay will be looking forward to working with DSWDs in uplifting the lives of Filipinos across the country.
The Angat Buhay is an NGO launched by Robredo last July, a month after she stepped down from her post.
The organization focuses on health, education, and disaster response in the country.
