In support of local infrastructure development, Bong Go lauds inauguration of multipurpose building to commemorate founding anniversary of Victoria, Oriental Mindoro

Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance, lauded the local government of Victoria, Oriental Mindoro for the successful inauguration of its multipurpose building during the town’s founding anniversary on Monday, September 18. The event was attended by local officials led by Mayor Lito Malabanan.

Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Sports, also welcomed the ongoing construction of a new sports complex located adjacent to the newly inaugurated multipurpose building which he supported as Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance.

“Kung hindi dahil sa inyo, wala akong mga projects (katulad ng) sports complex. Makakaasa po kayo na full support kami sa inyo, dahil ang inyong bisyo talaga (ay) mag-serbisyo. Mabuhay po kayo, mahal na senator. God bless po,” Malabanan said through a text message.

The newly inaugurated multipurpose building, funded with Go’s support, stands as a versatile hub for athletes and the broader community alike. Beyond being a venue for athletes, this building serves as a space where community activities can be conducted.

“Ang araw na ito ay hindi lamang simpleng selebrasyon, ito ay pagpapatunay na ang pagsusumikap ng bawat isa sa atin ay nagbubunga ng mga proyektong makikinabang ang buong komunidad. Ang inyong bagong multipurpose building ay hindi lamang isang gusali; ito ay tahanan ng ating mga atleta, isang sentro ng pag-asa para sa kanilang mga pangarap. Dito rin nagaganap ang mga pagsasanay at pulong na magpapalakas sa ating mga programa sa sports at pag-unlad,” Go cited.

“Sa ating pakikiisa, patuloy tayong magtutulungan upang mapanatili ang kaunlaran at magkaroon ng mas magandang kinabukasan para sa ating mga kababayan. Kasama ang inyong mga lingkod-bayan, hindi ko kayo pababayaan. Tutulong po ako sa abot ng aking makakaya,” the senator added.

Go also emphasized the importance of infrastructure development at the local level in contributing to the economic recovery of the country. “Investing in infrastructure doesn’t just create jobs; it stimulates economic growth. These projects lay the foundation for a stronger, more resilient Philippines,” the senator remarked.

Apart from the said projects, Go also supported several more to ensure the continued progress of the province.

The senator supported the construction of more multipurpose buildings in Baco, Bongabong, Bulalacao, Calapan City, Gloria, Naujan, Pinamalayan, and Pola, road improvements in Bansud, Bulalacao, Gloria, Mansalay, Pinamalayan, Pola, and Puerto Galera, improvement of drainage canal and public park in Puerto Galera, rehabilitation of a seawall in Bulalacao, and construction of a water system in Pinamalayan and Socorro.

He likewise supported the acquisition of medical equipment in Bongabong, multipurpose vehicles in Pola, and a dump truck in Victoria.

Go, in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH) and fellow lawmakers, supported the establishment of Super Health Centers in Bansud, Bulalacao, Mansalay, and Calapan City in the province.

“Mabuhay ang Victoria, Oriental Mindoro! Happy founding anniversary po sa inyong lahat at maraming salamat po,” he concluded.
