BONG GO PARTNERS WITH LGU TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO INDIGENT RESIDENTS OF TUGUEGARAO CITY

On Monday, October 21, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go’s Malasakit Team spearheaded the effort to uplift the lives of indigent residents of Tuguegarao City.

In his message, Go reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for more programs that directly benefit the poor and vulnerable sectors of society. He also urged the recipients to use the aid wisely and assured them of the government’s ongoing efforts to improve their well-being.

“Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, nandito kami upang maglingkod at tumulong sa inyo sa abot ng aming makakaya. Huwag kayong mawawalan ng pag-asa, dahil kasama ninyo kami sa bawat hakbang patungo sa mas magandang kinabukasan,” Go emphasized.

In an aid effort held at the People’s Gymnasium in the city, Go’s Malasakit Team provided shirts, vitamins, and fans to 319 beneficiaries.

Go also partnered with Mayor Maila Ting-Que and the local government in providing financial support to the beneficiaries.

In addition to the support he has already provided, Go, who is the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, extended an offer for medical assistance to any resident facing health issues. He urged them to visit the Malasakit Center in the city, located at the Cagayan Valley Medical Center.

The Malasakit Center serves as a one-stop shop, bringing together various agencies under one roof to help impoverished patients with their medical expenses. Since its launch in 2018 and its institutionalization under Republic Act No. 11463, which Go principally sponsored and authored in 2019, the 166 Malasakit Centers have assisted over 15 million indigent patients nationwide.

“Maraming salamat sa inyong tiwala at suporta. Bilang inyong lingkod, patuloy akong magsusumikap na isulong ang mga programa at proyekto na makapagpapagaan ng inyong buhay. Sama-sama natin haharapin ang mga hamon at gagawa ng paraan upang matugunan ang inyong mga pangangailangan,” underscored Go.
