Senator Robin Padilla and his wife Mariel recently brought hope and help to residents of Albay who were forced to evacuate their homes due to the threat from the unrest at Mayon Volcano.
The Padilla couple visited evacuees who were staying at Anislag Elementary School in Daraga, Albay – where the senator urged them to have faith in God.
“Pag tayo dumadaan sa pagsubok, ‘yan isang bagay na ibig sabihin tayo ay bumalik sa pananampalataya sa Diyos,” the legislator said.
“Ang pagsubok na ito, alam kong malungkot at masakit, pero isa itong pagkakataon manumbalik sa Panginoong Diyos.”
“Ang pagsubok na ito, alam kong malungkot at masakit, pero isa itong pagkakataon manumbalik sa Panginoong Diyos,” the lawmaker stressed.
The senator added that the government will not abandon them, as shown by the recent visit to Albay of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“Hindi kayo pababayaan ng gobyerno lalo ng DSWD.”
“Hindi kayo pababayaan ng gobyerno lalo ng DSWD. Nandiyan sila para arugain kayo. Pero sana sa pagkakataong ito mag balik loob tayo sa Panginoong Diyos,” he said.
Padilla also said he wanted to visit the evacuees.
After his speech, Padilla rendered the song “Wonderful Tonight,” while his wife brought joy to the residents with games.
