Netizens are extending financial help to Robie Ondil, a grieving mother from San Fernando, Bukidnon, after her story went viral for reportedly receiving only ₱50 in assistance from the local government following the death of her child, a Person with Disability (PWD). Her brother, Reynald Tayongon Ondil, shared a photo of her holding the child’s birth certificate with the ₱50 bill stapled to it, drawing sympathy and criticism from netizens who questioned the amount. Meanwhile, the LGU has yet to issue an official statement, although a representative of the mayor reportedly visited the family.
Shown below is the viral photo posted by Reynald. He clarified that Robie’s son, who was a PWD, died in Sitio Bulacao, Barangay Concepcion which is part of nearby Valencia City, Bukidnon. However, since Robie is a resident of San Fernando, Bukidnon, she sought financial assistance from her local government unit.
Netizens started sending assistance to Robie.
