“May mga Kapamilya po tayong nangangailangan ng ating tulong, ngayong hindi sila makalabas para makapaghanapbuhay. Kaya nais po naming manawagan… hangad po naming na walang magugutom sa panahong ito. Tulad sa lahat nating pinagdaanan, ang magliligtas sa atin ay ang pagmamahal sa isa’t isa,” Katigbak said.(Push)
