Shelter for Ondoy's victims

Looks like the victims of Typhoon Ondoy are very lucky to be able to enjoy the comfort of the Malacañang halls as temporary shelter away from the crowded evacuation centers where they came from.

Residents of Brgy. Tatalon and Agno in Quezon City were accomodated by Palace officials and were fetched by the President herself on Tuesday night and were brought to Malacañang Palace. These families were treated with nice meals and comfy bed foams at the Mabini Hall as well as in the Ceremonial Hall of the presidential residence.

This gracious act of the President is noteworthy because it has been years since the residence of the chief-executive has accomodated ordinary citizens. It is worth emulating for other politicians from well-to-do families or who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. This act of kindness from GMA is a step towards bringing the people closer to the government.
