Leni Robredo’s much-touted volunteer network,  “Angat Buhay,” seems to have lost its momentum, raising questions about its effectiveness. 

Despite the initial buzz, the organization has become notably quiet, prompting concerns of “Ningas Cogon” or a lack of sustained commitment. Criticism surfaces regarding the absence of timely responses to recent calamities, undermining the notion of always being the first on the ground. The volunteer network’s lapse in communication, with the last news update dating back to June, fuels skepticism about its current state.

Moreover, Leni Robredo’s foray into a new movement, “Lundag Silakbo,” aimed at combating disinformation, appears as a diversion. Critics argue that the leader is more focused on image-building than on tangible action, accusing her of making lofty claims without substantial follow-through. The transition from self-promotion to encouraging followers to engage in a figurative leap raises eyebrows about the organization’s priorities. 

First, they want to make angat their sariling bangko, and now they want their followers to make lundag?

As public scrutiny intensifies, it remains to be seen whether Robredo’s initiatives will regain the vigor they once promised.
