SENATOR Christopher “Bong” Go‘s Malasakit team aided impoverished residents in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, on Thursday, May 23. This showed his constant commitment to assisting the Filipino people in inclusive recovery and uplifting the lives of the poor and vulnerable.
A total of 500 residents were assisted by the Malasakit Team and received snacks, vitamins, masks, shirts, and balls for basketball and volleyball. The said initiative was held at GP Gym, Barangay Concepcion.
“Ang ating dedikasyon sa serbisyong publiko ay mas lumalalim sa mga panahong tulad nito. Sa pamamagitan ng ating pagtutulungan, patuloy ang ating pag-ahon,” said Go in a video message.
“Mga kababayan ko, magtulungan lang po tayo. Magbayanihan po tayo at magmalasakit po tayo sa ating kapwa Pilipino. Ginagawa po lahat ng gobyerno para po malampasan natin itong krisis na ito,” he added.
Meanwhile, through the initiative of Congressman GP Padiernos, in partnership with the local and national government, the struggling residents received financial support.
As he continues to prioritize the well-being of the Filipinos, Go, Chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, offered assistance to those in need of medical care and encouraged them to visit Eduardo L. Joson Memorial Hospital and Dr. Paulino J. Garcia Memorial Research and Medical Center (PJGMRMC), both in Cabanatuan City and Talavera General Hospital in Talavera where there are Malasakit Centers ready to assist with their expenses.
Established in 2018, the Malasakit Center is a one-stop shop that brings together concerned agencies to provide indigent patients access to medical assistance programs. To date, the program has established 165 Malasakit Centers nationwide, which have helped more or less ten million Filipinos.
“Huwag ho kayong mahihiyang lumapit sa mga Malasakit Centers. Para po ‘yan sa Pilipino. Nalulungkot po ako tuwing may mga nag-aalangan magpatingin sa doktor dahil natatakot sila sa babayaran sa hospital. Pangalagaan niyo po ang inyong kalusugan at ang Malasakit Center ay handang tumulong sa inyo,”Go said who is the principal sponsor and author of the Malasakit Centers Act.
“Mga kababayan ko, patuloy akong magseserbisyo sa inyong lahat sa abot ng aking makakaya dahil bisyo ko na po ang magserbisyo. Kayo po ang nagbibigay lakas sa amin na makapagserbisyo pa po sa inyong lahat,” Mr. Malasakit Go ended.
