In her post, DJ Chacha said, “Sunud sunod ang lindol, baka naman pwede na magkusang lahat ng LGUs diyan para sa GO bag. Yan ang unahin wag yung mga pagprint ng tarpaulin na may mukha niyo at pangalan na nakalagay sa covered court at waiting shed.”

In the comments section, DJ Chacha also pointed out that some LGUs have already implemented similar programs. “Nauna na yung ibang LGU tulad ng Pasig. 2022 pa meron. Kelan sa ibang lugar?” she asked.

In a follow-up comment, she reminded government officials to ensure fairness in distribution. “Make sure na lahat ng residente mabibigyan ah. Minsan selective din sa mga pagbibigyan eh. UTOS YARN? Ay oo naman. Kami ang amo niyo. Kami nagpapasweldo sa inyo so may say kami sa mga ganitong bagay. At hindi namin need mag-thank you kung mabigyan kami ng ‘go’ bag dahil pera ng bayan yan, sa amin galing yan.”

She then reiterated her stance against politicizing public service: “Wag niyo na lagyan ng mukha at pangalan ang Go Bag na ibibigay. 2025 na, lakas makatrapo ng ganyang atake.”

In her final comment, she expressed frustration toward those who might take advantage of such programs for personal gain: “Yung mga nagpaplanong dumilihensya at kumita para sa Go Bag kainin sana ng lupa.”

Her post has since gained attention from netizens, with many agreeing with her call for transparency and genuine service from local officials.

The “Go Bag” initiative refers to an emergency kit containing essential supplies such as food, water, medicine, flashlights, and important documents, intended to help individuals and families survive in case of disasters like earthquakes or typhoons.
