While her initial plan is to donate one hundred sacks of rice, she has decided to do it in installments as she currently does not have the means to withdraw the required amount. Kris also shared that the banks she is affiliated with are more than an hour away from her residence.

i am posting this hindi para magpa bida- kasi konti lang ito, dapat 100 sacks of rice pero malayo ako & hindi maka withdraw ng mas malaki because more than 1 hour away yung mga bangko where i have accounts kaya umaasa muna sa ATM … this is the time na yung mas na bless financially, sana gumawa ng paraan na tulungan ang mga mas nangangailangan sa abot ng makakaya… magdamayan tayo ngayon dahil LABAN nating lahat ang #covid_19… hindi tama na ang mga kapwa Pinoy ay magutom sa panahon ng lockdown dahil yung daily wage earners hindi makapagtrabaho. 😢 P.S. NAGAWAN na po ng PARAAN to make it 25 na KABAN ng BIGAS kasi nalaman ko kung gaano karami ang umaasa sa tulong na mabibigay ng LGU ng Puerto Galera.

The screenshots of her conversation with Mayor Ilagan show that she promised twelve sacks of rice. However, in her caption, she reveals that she found a way to push the number up to twenty-five sacks.
