Residents of Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City were surprised when former Mayor Herbert Bautista suddenly came out from nowhere and brought with him food stuff. The surprised resident shared Bistek’s photo on his social media account.
Bistek, as he is fondly called by friends in and out of showbiz, is a volunteer for peace and order in Quezon City where he served as city executive for nine years.
An Army Reservist of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Bistek shared this post on his Instagram account: “Blessed to be serving as the Commanding General of the 1502nd Ready Reserve IB PH Army for my beloved city. Our team has been doing round-the-clock inspection of borders to ensure the safety of the city and also distributing goods to our constituents who are in need. We are helping the best way we can and we appreciate your support in every way. Please continue to stay home for the safety not just of our city but most especially our families. God bless us all. #AFPyoucanTRUST #RescuePH - BGen Herbert M Bautista AFP.”
In his Instagram post, Bistek also lauded the efforts of the soldiers in Camp Karingal for their help to Quezon City residents.
He probably misses being of service to the people of Quezon City that’s why he joined the soldiers going around to extend help.
The members of the entertainment media also miss Bistek because his family is close to the press. He makes it a point to update the media about his activities.
Bistek returns to his first love – acting – in the ABS-CBN series “Make It with You” where he plays the father of Liza Soberano.
