Robredo urges increased support for relief efforts in Catanduanes after typhoon damage

Former Vice President Leni Robredo has called for increased support for relief efforts in Catanduanes after Super Typhoon Pepito made landfall there on Saturday night. The storm has caused significant damage to the region. Robredo, now leading the Angat Bayanihan Volunteer Network, reported that teams are actively delivering assistance in affected areas like Viga, Panganiban, and San Andres. She emphasized the need for more volunteers to help reach those in need. Communication challenges persist in the region, but Robredo's team is coordinating with local volunteers to provide hot meals and assess further support. The Angat Bayanihan Network was recently reactivated for relief operations following Tropical Storm Kristine in October.
