Television host Willie Revillame and broadcaster Erwin Tulfo extended aid to Typhoon Kristine survivors in the Bicol Region by channeling their donations through former Vice President Leni Robredo’s Angat Buhay Foundation.
Revillame, who contributed a donation of P3 million, personally delivered the check to Robredo. “Sobrang grateful, sobrang honored kami na nandito siya in person para ipaabot ang kanyang tulong,” Robredo stated during the handover.
Despite his familial ties to Naga City, Revillame emphasized that he doesn’t limit his support by location. He said that he doesn’t choose which places to help, recalling the devastation he witnessed from the recent flooding in Naga.

Meanwhile, Tulfo and the ACT-CIS Party-list coordinated with the Angat Buhay Foundation to donate an additional 500 sacks of rice, distributed to affected communities throughout the region. “We, at ACT-CIS, would not stop in providing help, whether or not there is a calamity. We would continue to extend help and would look for ways on how we could provide more assistance to our fellow Filipinos,” said ACT-CIS representative Jeff Soriano.
Tulfo’s office and ACT-CIS delivered the rice to Angat Buhay’s Quezon City warehouse for immediate distribution, ensuring relief reached those in the most affected areas, including Iriga City and surrounding localities.
