VICE President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo has called on the public to pray for the repose of the souls of the soldiers who died fighting terrorists in Marawi City and to the rest who gave their lives to keep the country safe. Advertisements“We should say a prayer for our soldiers who valiantly gave their lives for us to achieve peace in Marawi. “This is an opportunity for us to thank them, not only for the courage they showed during the Marawi siege, but also in fighting terrorists in other areas such as Basilan, Sulu, among others,” Robredo added. Robredo visited the Marawi evacuees at least twice, while her daughter Tricia made a visit once. The Vice President also announced that her office would be extending assistance for the rehabilitation of Marawi City and addressing the needs of other affected communities, through its flagship anti-poverty program, Angat Buhay.
