Social media personality Miss Catering couldn’t help but call out corrupt officials amid the devastation caused by Typhoon Tino, which brought heavy rains and flash floods to parts of the Visayas earlier this week.
In a Facebook post on November 4, Miss Catering expressed relief that her elderly mother was safely evacuated before a coconut tree collapsed on their old home.
“Mabuti na lang na-evacuate si Inay sa bago naming bahay, kung hindi baka mabagsakan siya ng puno ng niyog malapit sa kwarto ko,” she wrote.
“Baka hindi na siya makalipad,” she added jokingly, maintaining her trademark humor even amid the calamity.
In a follow-up video, Miss Catering lightened the mood as she narrated the close call while reminding her followers to stay safe and alert.
“Mabuti na lang maaga pa lang pina-evacuate namin si Inay. Pinalipad namin siya doon sa bagong bahay namin. Kung hindi siya nag-evacuate, baka nabagsakan siya ng niyog. Madudurog ‘yong katawan niya, mahahati,” she said.
“Hindi na siya makakalipad tuwing alas dose kasi mababagsakan siya ng landingan niya — ‘yong puno ng niyog diyan, landingan niya ‘yan. Kaya keep safe everyone, mabuti na lang at safe ang family ko, kompleto pa, naka-inventory.”
But after injecting humor into her post, Miss Catering shifted to a more serious tone, addressing government officials and personalities linked to alleged corruption, especially those involved in questionable flood control projects.
“Oras na para bawasan n’yo ‘yong mga ninakaw n’yo,” she declared. “Magbigay naman kayo ng relief doon po sa mga naapektuhan ng bagyo. Ito na ang tamang panahon at oras para i-share n’yo ang blessing.”
Her statement quickly gained traction online, with netizens praising her for using her platform to speak up about accountability and social responsibility during disasters.
As thousands of families in Cebu and nearby provinces continue to recover from Typhoon Tino’s onslaught, Miss Catering’s message — part humor, part truth — resonates as a timely reminder: compassion and integrity matter most when people are at their most vulnerable.
