“Magtulungan lang tayo. Ang gamit, nabibili natin ‘yan. Ang pera po’y kikitain natin ‘yan, magsipag lang po tayo. Ngunit ang perang kikitain natin ay hindi po nabibili ang buhay. A lost life is a lost life forever. Walang part two po sa buhay. Kaya pangalagaan po natin ang buhay at kalusugan ng bawat isa,” Senator Christopher “Bong” Go said in a message to fire victims in Cateel, Davao Oriental.
During the relief activity held at Barangay Taytayan Covered Court on Tuesday, August 13, Go highlighted Senate Bill No. 2451, known as the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act, which he co-sponsored and authored in the Senate. This proposed legislation is based on Go’s earlier filed Mandatory Evacuation Center bill and aims to establish mandatory evacuation centers across provinces and municipalities to ensure safe refuge during disasters.
“Bilang inyong Mr. Malasakit, ako ay magseserbisyo sa inyo sa abot ng aking makakaya dahil ang bisyo ko po ay magserbisyo. Huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa dahil sa pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan, malalagpasan natin ang anumang pagsubok. Manatili tayong matatag at positibo sa kabila ng mga hamon,” Go emphasized.
Go’s Malasakit Team, in coordination with Taytayan Barangay Chaiperson Mamerta Alba, provided three affected households with essential aid such as financial assistance, grocery packs, water containers, snacks, shirts, masks, vitamins, basketballs and volleyballs.
As the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, Go urged residents needing medical assistance to visit the Malasakit Center located at the Davao Oriental Provincial Medical Center in Mati City.
The senator, who principally authored and sponsored Republic Act 11463, proudly noted that 166 Malasakit Centers have been established nationwide, providing crucial assistance to more or less ten million indigent Filipinos, according to the Department of Health.
“Nandito lang ang inyong Senator Kuya Bong Go na handang magserbisyo sa inyo sa abot ng aking makakaya dahil bisyo ko ang magserbisyo at naniniwala ako na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo sa Diyos,” he concluded.
