LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Legazpi Bureau) – After almost a week of monitoring the situation regarding the Mayon Volcano eruption, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo has ordered her Angat Buhay Foundation to distribute free lato-lato toys at all evacuation centers in Albay province.
Lato-lato is a toy that consists of two plastic balls suspended on a string that, when swung, slams against each other to create that distinct clacking sound. It has recently trended in the Philippines.
Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that her volunteer foundation has determined that all relief and rescue operations managed and administered by the Marcos administration are excellently in place and that there is no need for Angat Buhay to mess them up.
Instead, Angat Buhay will distributed lato-lato to all evacuees — for free! The foundation said the toy will provide entertainment and prevent boredom to evacuees while waiting to get back to their residences.
The latos are colored pink and will have the photos of Robredo on them.
