Robredo hopeful for more community pantries amid the COVID-19 crisis

Vice President Leni Robredo on Sunday expressed hope that more"community pantries" will spring up to help hungry Filipinos in the throes of a pandemic, which pushed the country into recession and left millions jobless.

"Napakalaking bagay na may community pantry kasi parang sinisiguro mo na walang tao sa community mo na magugutom," she said in her weekly radio show BISErbisyong LENI. [Translation: Having a community pantry is a big thing because it ensures that no one in the community will go hungry.][Translation: It is a great project which I hope many of our fellow Filipinos will emulate.]

Social media has recently been flooded with posts of community pantries where residents can donate basic goods for others who have a hard time putting food on the table. The movement, which first popped up along Maginhawa Street, Quezon City, became a hit with other areas in Metro Manila and other regions rolling out the same initiative. The Maginhawa pantry was set up by small business owner Ana Patricia Non.

haha ganitong ganito na sya

(A) only someone who hasn't checked her page wouldn't know the wonderful ideas thr OVP has and applied these past years (B) Saan pa nga ba binibili ng donors ang binibigay sa community pantry kundi sa palengke at grocery? (C) Sana mag-ambag na lang siya ano kaysa empty warla

Dati puro sisi sating lahat pag sumablay silang big time, Reality: a lot of people hungry: it's good that govt appreciate ordinary people's initiative in providing food for our hungry neighbors, people ca no longer just look away while others go to bed without food..👍🙏🇵🇭

ayan na pinupuna na ng mga PULITIKO. mamaya makikipartner at lalabas sila pa magaling.

pangalawa, hoping for more parang binawasan mo pa ang kita ng mga tindera sa palengke at sarisari store.

Anti Leni trolls in 3... 2... 1... BTW, This is also the president's job... encouraging community efforts... you know... LEADERSHIP

hoping for more is not a good idea really, parang cotton candy. kung makakakuha ako sa community pantry dahil sa gutom, isang araw lang yon. pero bakit ako aasa don? wala bang mas masustansyang suggestion from vp leni?
