Since our program is meant to fill in gaps, we expect it to be evolving and we want to manage it in the best way we can.
To those who have been planning to join, please stay tuned for further announcements.
Maraming salamat ulit sa lahat!

Bayanihan E-Konsulta is a free teleconsultation platform available via Facebook and Messenger where patients especially those with limited resources and access to medical services can get free medical assistance from health professionals.
Meanwhile, after the surge of volunteers netizens can’t help but praise VP Leni for inspiring people to help.
Most of the netizens regarded Robredo’s type of leadership and people’s trust in her and her programs thus the slew of volunteers even in just a little time.
Isang panawagan lang ni Robredo, nakalinya agad ang mga volunteer. Sino ang hindi bibilib?
Oo, hindi pa nagalaw ang kita ng libro. Kung tatakbo siya, sa campaign niya mapupunta lahat.

A true servant leader inspires volunteerism without having to appeal to citizens' "nationalism" or morally guilting them into it or holding their overseas travel plans hostage.
Labshu VP!

Depende po kasi yan kung sino nananawagan at kung ano sya sa lipunan. Tunay nga na may leadership kayo VP Leni.
Kayo na po magbigay public address about the issues on Covid, tyak malinaw at di na kailangan ng 1, 2 o minsan 3 pa na magpapaliwanag pagkatapos!
Mabuhay po kayo!

One netizen even compared Robredo to the DOH. The netizen said when Duque and the DOH called for volunteers there were only a few who have heeded the calls while Robredo was able to sign-up more than 2 thousand in just a span of 24 hours.
Tanong: Bakit nung nangailangan ang DOH ng volunteers, 3 lang ata ang tumugon? Pero kay VP sangkaterba!
Sagot: Wala ng tiwala ang taumbayan sa mga kampon ni "Satanas"!
