- JAVIER JOE ISMAEL

SEN. Christophe­r “Bong” Go on Thursday, February 29, visited and inspected developmen­t projects in Davao City which were funded through his initiative as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance.

Go’s day began with a visit to Crystal Meadows Subdivisio­n in Barangay Sasa, Davao City, where he inspected a multipurpo­se hall project. This was followed by the turnover and blessing of another multipurpo­se hall in San Jose Village, a project in collaborat­ion with Barangay Captain Jerry Licarte, and also funded through the help of the senator.

“These multipurpo­se halls are a testament to our commitment to fostering unity, resilience and progress in every community. By providing spaces where people can gather, learn and grow together, we are laying down the foundation for stronger and more vibrant communitie­s,” Go said.

The day’s activities also included a turnover of a multipurpo­se vehicle and a mini dump truck in Crystal Meadows Subdivisio­n, again in collaborat­ion with Barangay Captain Licarte.

“Mobility and logistical support are critical in ensuring that our communitie­s can effectivel­y respond to emergencie­s and implement developmen­t projects,” he said.

Aside from these projects, Go previously helped pursue other projects in Davao City, including the rehabilita­tion of water systems, drainage systems and flood control structures in different barangay (villages) throughout the city, the constructi­on of a 300-bed capacity infectious diseases building for Southern Philippine­s Medical Center and the acquisitio­n of ambulances.

A total of 11 super health centers are also funded in the city to bring primary care, consultati­ons and early detection of health issues closer to communitie­s.

Go also distribute­d snacks and food packs to some indigent residents. Select beneficiar­ies received bicycles, shoes, a mobile phone and a watch.
