Amidst public backlash for her "insensitive" comments regarding her privileged post during Typhoon Kristine, Rosmar Tan, who is running for office in the 2025 elections, sought to make amends by donating relief goods to the affected communities
“Mas importante yung tumulong tayo sa kapwa. Yung ipapangbili ko ng Labubu para makisabayan sa trending ngayon, ipangbibili ko nalang ng ayuda pangtulong sa tao,” she responded to a comment who was expecting a blind box unboxing video from her.
In another TikTok video, she said that they would personally deliver the relief packages once the roads are passable.
