Dear Senator Marcos,

I’m pleased to be able to participate in this project with you.
Your office's interest in community-based rehabilitation aligns with many of our efforts in Camarines Sur. I hope our teams can work in synergy toward these goals.

Best regards,
Leni Robredo
Representative, 3rd District of Camarines Sur

Senator,

Attached is the latest report from the Naga relocation site. It’s still a work in progress, but I hope it offers a clearer picture of what we’ve been working on.

Also, your last memo mentioned “model communities”—I’d love to hear what exactly you envisioned.

If you have time next week, perhaps we can talk over merienda? My treat.

Warm regards,
Leni

Congresswoman,

I would never say no to merienda. Especially if you’re treating.
Let’s pencil it in for Tuesday? I’ll bring the “model community” diagrams. (And maybe some Ilocos empanada—best paired with conversation, I hear.)

Bongbong

P.S. Do you always work this late? Or is it the CamSur air?

Senator,

Thank you for your quick action re: Tacloban. I saw you on the ground.
That was… not nothing.

I was trying to find words to say this without sounding—well, anyway.
I’m glad you were there.

Stay safe.

Leni,

You don’t have to find the right words. I think I understand the wrong ones, too.
I’m glad you were there.
