From Dr. Kathryn Bautista...
I am a healthcare worker and I choose Leni.
When COVID-19 first hit us, healthcare workers were in dire need of help in the form of protective gear and medical supplies. As a member of the Covid Warriors of Negros (CWN), my friend Atty. Pinky Mirano and I initiated efforts to collect and distribute to hospitals and quarantine facilities all over Negros. But we needed more, and there were none available.
So we thought, what if we write to VP Leni? Baka naman. We drafted the letter and sent it through email, just hoping for a response. After just a few days, the OVP called and asked for details. Help was on the way! And help did arrive!
VP Leni did not just send help for the hospital I was asking supplies for. She sent help to ALL major hospitals in the city! We learned later that she mobilized Filipinos to make these PPE suits, since there is a global shortage at that time, so the healthcare workers around the country would be given the protection that they needed to battle COVID-19. As stated in her message, “Patunay ito na sa panahong pinakakailangan, mas lumalabas ang ating pagbabayanihan.”
This matters to me, because I felt we matter to her. Even if she did not know us, she listened to us, and made things happen. In that brief experience with VP Leni, we saw COMPASSION with ACTION, through leadership that empowers.
I believe that, especially now when our nation is in crisis, we need a leader who can unite, nurture, and empower. A leader who has the decency, courage and integrity to take a stand and correct what is wrong. A leader who can work even with, and despite, opposing sides and opinions, and somehow turn these into positive results. A leader who can spark joy and passion among Filipinos to want to work together so our country can rise again.
This is VP Leni Robredo to me. A selfless servant leader who is a servant first. And this is why I choose Leni.
