MANILA, Philippines — Batangas 1st District Rep. Leandro Legarda Leviste said he would give one million sacks of rice to families in Batangas who have not received government aid.
Leviste made the announcement at the Kapihan ng Samahang Plaridel, where he discussed alleged discrimination in the distribution of government assistance.
“I will give 1 million sacks of rice for all the families who have not yet received government aid in Batangas, because I am saddened by the discrimination in the distribution of government aid,” Leviste said.
“This is my personal contribution, at no cost to government. No need for people to wait for photo-ops, and no one will be excluded,” he added.
