Senator Bong Go came to the defense of President Duterte after a video showed the table where the latter is having a simple birthday celebration is filled with food including a lechon. The senator earlier posted a photo of the President about to blow out a candle placed on top of what appears to be one cup serving of rice. The photo appeared to indicate there was no other food at the table, not even a birthday cake to put a candle on.
A group of victims of typhoon Ulysses received donations and Duterte-Bong Go t-shirts. The t-shirts appeared to be campaign shirts for the senator but the group who distributed it said that they were supposed to be given in 2016. Since the shirts were not given, they found that giving them out amid the current situation was timely. Aside from the shirts, they also received goods to sustain them in the aftermath.
