Leni supporters in Negros launch new ‘Star of Hope’
Bea Mirano hang the first star of hope*The Laban Leni Negros Occidental (LLNO) supporters of presidential candidate Leni Robredo launched a new ‘Star of Hope’ at their headquarters in Bacolod City Tuesday night, November 30.Millie Kilayko, a member of the LLNO core group, said “35 years ago, 2,000 workers in 16 communities in Negros Occidental produced 200,000 Stars of Hope as a massive livelihood project in a beleaguered province hit with hunger and unemployment.
