She stressed that collective progress is best achieved when leaders prioritise the needs of the people. She described the outreach as her modest contribution toward fostering joy, peace, and togetherness in homes during the Christmas season.

According to her, “small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in the lives of families.” Beneficiaries of the rice distribution expressed appreciation for the senator’s thoughtful gesture, offering prayers and goodwill in return. Many described the support as timely and impactful, particularly in the face of rising living costs.
