Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, in collaboration with Vice Mayor Martin Angeles, brought assistance to displaced workers in Bustos, Bulacan to promote inclusive economic recovery.
“Kailangan nating tulungan ang ating kapwa Pilipino na makabangon. Ang pagtulong sa mga displaced workers ay hindi lang nakakapagpabuti ng kanilang pamumuhay, kundi nakakatulong din sa ekonomiya ng ating komunidad,” said Go in a video message.
The senator also reiterated his commitment to providing long-term solutions for economic empowerment. He introduced Senate Bill No. 420, which seeks to institutionalize the Rural Employment Assistance Program (REAP). REAP aims to provide temporary employment to qualified residents of rural areas, thus offering an avenue for displaced workers to achieve economic stability and contribute to the local economy if enacted.
Held at the Galilee Resort in Bustos, Bulacan on Tuesday, December 10, Go’s Malasakit Team assisted a total of 53 displaced workers. Beneficiaries received snacks, vitamins, face masks, shirts, basketballs, and volleyballs. Additionally, select individuals received shoes and a mobile phone.
In collaboration with Go and the local government, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) also gave support to the beneficiaries who completed their Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged / Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program.
Continuously supported by Go, the TUPAD program has been instrumental in offering displaced workers short-term employment, helping them to cope with economic hardships while also benefiting local projects.
In his message, Go thanked the local government of Marilao and DOLE for their partnership in bringing the assistance program to life. “Mga kababayan ko, nandito po ang aking Malasakit Team kasama ang DOLE para sa TUPAD. Patuloy lang akong magseserbisyo sa inyo dahil yan ang aking bisyo, ang magserbisyo,” shared Go.
Senator Go concluded his message with a reminder of his dedication to public service: “Ang inyong Kuya Bong Go ay palaging naririto upang maglingkod sa inyo. Dahil bisyo ko na ang magserbisyo, at naniniwala ako na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo sa Diyos.”
Known as Mr. Malasakit for his compassionate service to the Filipino people, particularly the marginalized, Go’s efforts in Marilao exemplify his commitment to empowering displaced workers not only through direct assistance but also by enabling economic growth and opportunities for communities in need.
