On December 21, Representative Sam Verzosa led a rice distribution event at San Andres Brgy 740, District 5, Manila, where he underscored his commitment to providing high-quality aid to the community.
Verzosa, nicknamed “Spam Versoza” for his viral relief efforts featuring premium items like Spam, emphasized the importance of treating beneficiaries with respect and dignity.
“Tratuhin natin nang tama ang mga tao,” Verzosa said.
The multi-business mogul turned public servant shared that his background shaped his advocacy.
“Alam ninyo po, sanay po tayo sa hirap. Galing po ako sa wala,” Verzosa recounted. “Ginamit ko ‘yung sipag at tiyaga para mapunta sa sitwasyon na kung anong meron ako ngayon. Inangat ko ang sarili dahil dun, at ‘yun din ang gagawin ko sa Maynila. Nahanap ko na po ang purpose ko sa mundo.”
He added that his relief efforts would continue even after the holiday season to support more communities in need.
As the Manila mayoral race intensifies, Verzosa faces criticisms from established politicians who, he claims, feel threatened by his progressive approach.
Despite the controversies, Verzosa remains resolute. Known for his public service program ‘Dear SV’ on GMA Network and for his affiliations with Willie Revillame and actress Rhian Ramos, he addressed his critics head-on.
“May mga gustong magpabagsak sa akin dahil sa bagong sistema at pagmamahal ko sa taong-bayan, pero hindi ako titigil,” Verzosa declared.
The representative’s dedication to public service and his ability to distribute premium relief goods have drawn both praise and scrutiny. Nevertheless, Verzosa stands firm in his mission to uplift communities and bring fresh solutions to Manila’s pressing concerns.
