Vice President Sara Duterte visited the town of Sara in Iloilo for the first time to meet with students of Sara Central Elementary School and distribute school supplies and other essential items.
In a social media post, Duterte shared that she was joined by personnel from the Office of the Vice President (OVP)–Panay and Negros Islands Satellite Office during the visit.
The group distributed school bags containing school supplies, dental kits, and raincoats to the students.
Duterte also spent time with the children by sharing the story from the book “Isang Kaibigan,” which highlights the meaning and importance of friendship.
The Vice President described the visit as a meaningful experience, saying, “Masaya ang aking puso na sa unang pagkakataon ay makabisita sa bayan ng Sara, Iloilo ngayong araw upang makipagkumustahan sa mga mag-aaral ng Sara Central Elementary School.”
The activity also included tree planting within the school grounds as part of the OVP's PagbaBAGo: A Million Trees Campaign, which aims to promote environmental protection and conservation.
“Maraming salamat sa pagkakataong makasama kayo at sa inyong mainit na pagtanggap sa amin,” Duterte said, expressing gratitude to the school community for welcoming her delegation.
“Mahalin natin ang Pilipinas—para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at sa bawat Pamilyang Pilipino,” she added.
