“Nagdonate ako ng lupa (property) kasi na observe ko wala tayo sa Legazpi na facility para sa mga matatanda katulad ng Home for the Aged, wala tayong reception house for the abused women and rape victims, wala rin para sa orphanage,” Co said.

(I donated land because I noticed that we do not have facilities for the elderly in Legazpi, such as the Home for the Aged, we do not have a reception house for the abused women and rape victims, and there is also nothing for the orphanage.)
