Team Leni Robredo, a group of Filipino sectoral representatives and artists supporting the possible 2022 presidential bid of the Vice President Leni Robredo, launched community feeding programs across the country on Saturday, January 26,  in honor of the late former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

The feeding programs were held in 37 areas in seven regions, including the National Capital Region, Cagayan Valley, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol, Western Visayas, and Central Visayas.

In Metro Manila, the feeding programs were located in Quezon City, Pasay, Parañaque, and Navotas.

“We want to honor the legacy of PNoy and we decided to dedicate our nationwide community feeding on June 26 for him,” said David Santos, one of the volunteer coordinators of Team Leni Robredo.

Santos said the activity was also Team Leni Robredo’s way of expressing solidarity with the whole country in mourning the passing of Aquino.

Aquino died on Thursday, June 24, at 61 years old. He had been suffering from various illnesses since 2019.

Aquino served as the country’s 15th president from 2010 to 2016. (READ: How Noynoy Aquino delivered on 5 major promises)
