The Office of the Vice President (OVP) spent more than P23.8 million for relief operations for victims of the Taal Volcano eruption in January 2020 and a string of strong typhoons that hit the country in the last quarter of the year.
Robredo’s office and her partner organizations also stepped up their efforts to cushion the impact of the months-long community quarantine or lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
When President Duterte placed Luzon under enhanced community quarantine or ECQ in March, the OVP provided free shuttle service and dormitories for frontliners, particularly health workers in Metro Manila.
The OVP has also partnered with private organizations in putting up temporary shelters, dubbed “The Oasis Project,” for medical workers at the Lung Center of the Philippines, Quirino Memorial Medical Center and National Kidney and Transplant Institute, all in Quezon City.
