Sen. Bong Go stressed the need to provide better and intensified government interventions to protect the welfare of Filipinos as the country’s economy recovers from the pandemic.
On Wednesday, 12 October, the senator’s team mounted a relief effort in Hermosa, Bataan where they provided snacks, shirts and masks to 187 indigent residents at the municipal covered court.
They also gave away shoes, cellular phones, and balls for basketball to select individuals.
As part of the government’s efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, the Department of Social Welfare and Development likewise extended financial assistance to the residents.
“Napakalaki po talaga ng epekto ng COVID-19 sa ating bansa kaya naman kami sa gobyerno ay nagtutulung-tulong upang siguraduhin na lahat kayo ay makakaahon muli. Walang dapat maiwan patungo sa economic recovery,” encouraged Go.
“Asahan niyo rin na palagi akong susuporta sa lahat ng inisyatibo ng ating mga lingkod bayan basta po ito ay para sa ikakaganda ng ating bansa. Ang kailangan po namin ay disiplina at kooperasyon para masigurong aangat tayo muli,” he added.
