Sen. Bong Go’s team mounted a relief operation for 1,000 disadvantaged residents in San Manuel, Tarlac.
In a video message, Go reiterated his appeal to the public to get their complete vaccine and booster shots against Covid-19, underscoring how vaccines are key to attaining population protection.
Following the first declared case of monkeypox in the country, Go also reminded Filipinos to continue adhering to the government’s mandated health preventive measures to help prevent infectious diseases from spreading.
“Mga kababayan ko, kung hindi pa po kayo bakunado, magpabakuna na po kayo dahil ito lamang po ang susi natin sa ngayon upang makabalik tayo sa normal na pamumuhay,” Go urged.
“Ngayon po na may naiulat na kaso ng monkeypox sa bansa, all the more po na mas kailangan tayong sumunod sa mga basic health protocols. Pakiusap lang po na koordinasyon at disiplina ang kailangan natin lahat,” he added.
Go’s outreach team held the relief effort on 2 August at the Cultural Center in Brgy. Poblacion where they distributed relief items such as masks, snacks, and shirts to the residents.
Select individuals were also given bicycles and shoes.
