Representatives from Department of Social Welfare and Development also provided each resident with financial assistance.
Over at Surigao del Norte, the senator’s team provided the same to vulnerable residents from Dapa, Del Carmen, San Benito, General Luna, Santa Monica, Burgos, Placer and Alegria towns.
Meanwhile, as part of his efforts to ensure that more Filipinos get convenient access to quality healthcare, Go offered assistance to those in need of medical attention and advised them to visit Caraga Regional Hospital in Surigao City and Siargao Island Medical Center in Dapa where there are Malasakit Centers that may help with their hospital expenses.
Designed for particularly poor and indigent patients, the Malasakit Center is a one-stop shop where Filipinos can conveniently access medical assistance programs offered by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Health, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
