Bong Go gives aid to displaced workers
SEN. Bong Go highlighted the need for more robust government actions to create additional job opportunities for the impoverished in local communities.
He demonstrated this commitment by offering direct assistance to displaced workers in Limay, Bataan, on Wednesday, April 10.
In collaboration with the local government of Limay, including Gov. Joet Garcia, Vice Gov. Cris Garcia, Rep. Abet Garcia, Mayor Nelson David, and Vice Mayor Richie David, among others, the senator gave assistance to 500 displaced workers.
The distribution activity was held at Limay Sports Complex, where Go and his Malasakit Team gave away grocery packs, snacks, vitamins, masks, and shirts. There were also select recipients of bicycles, mobile phones, shoes, watches, basketballs and volleyballs.
Through Go’s initiative, the Department of Labor and Employment likewise conducted an orientation for qualified beneficiaries for its Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (Tupad) program.
“Through this program, we can assist workers affected by the crisis and provide immediate help for their needs,” said Go in Filipino.
“We will continue to work together further to improve the situation of our disadvantaged and displaced workers. Together, we aim to create a more just and stable society for all Filipinos.”
On the same day, Go also attended the groundbreaking of the town’s Super Health Center.
In his speech, Go stressed the significance of Super Health Centers in providing access to health care for all Filipinos, especially at the grassroots. The senator underscored the vital function of Super Health Centers in early disease detection and alleviating hospital overcrowding by already providing primary care and medical consultations within the community.
In Bataan, eight Super Health Centers have been funded to help bring primary care, medical consultations, and early disease detection closer to communities.
Earlier that day, Go also attended the Super Health Center turnover ceremony in Samal and inspected another constructed in Hermosa.
Go was likewise honored as the adopted son of the towns of Hermosa and Samal. He was declared an adopted son of Limay, Bataan, last year, in recognition of his continued service to the locality.
