ON MANAY GINA’S BIRTHDAY
AS part of her birthday celebration on February 15, Fourth District Rep. Gina de Venecia will distribute free reading glasses to elderly citizens in her district from Feb. 1 to 15.
Manay Gina will visit all barangays in the district and distribute the reading glasses to show her love and compassion to elderly citizens.
