President Noynoy Aquino 2

Being a president of a nation, it is quite hard to prioritize a specific location to focus on. When Metro Manila and some provinces in Luzon were struck with floods, President Noynoy Aquino was hands on on the planning of the rescue effort and the relief effort as well.

Last August 8, 2012, President Noynoy, along with his sister Kris and members of his cabinet, braved the flooded streets of Muntinlupa to hand deliver relief goods to those who were victimized by the raging floods. They were met with cheers while others considered it was a campaign move. Despite everything, Aquino just continued to give aid to show the people that their president is their working for the people. Check out the images taken from the relief effort above courtesy of NPPA, MPB and Malacañang.
