Thank you po sa update sa atin diyan sa Aurora. Malaking bagay po sa amin kahit kami ay nasa abroad ay nalalaman namin ang nangyayari diyan.
Ang galing naman ng mga LGU sa Dinalungan. Maagap na naglibot si Mayor para makatulong. Maagap din sila Cong. Sonny, Rommel Angara at iba pang-LGU para makatulong sa mga naapektuhan. More power po sa inyong lahat.

Ngayong nagtutulong-tulong ang gubyerno para sa kapakanan ng mga naapektuhan ng bagyo. Nasaan na ang CPP-NPA-NDF? Wala? Kung totoo silang makabayan dapat ay gumagawa rin sila ng paraan para makatulong. Huwad ang kanilang ipinaglalaban na makamasa at makabayan. Sulong Aurora!!! Tanging ang gubyerno lang ang talagang makatutulong sa panngangailangan ng mamamayan. Mabuhay ang mga PNP, Army at iba't-ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan!!! Ang tunay na karamay sa oras ng kagipitan.
