Go also told the homeless residents of Maunlad Street, Phase 4 and Mabuhay Street, Phase 3 that he will provide uniforms and school supplies for schoolchildren of families affected by the 10 October fire.

Go also encouraged those who return to their provinces to do so and he will pay for their fare.

“Kailangan niyo ng espesyalista, magsabi lang kayo, ako na po ang magpapagamot sa inyo hanggang sa makabalik kayo dito,” he added.

“Aside sa dala kong tulong, pinakiusapan ko rin ang mga kasamahan ko sa gobyerno,” Go said.

Representatives of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) were present to extend additional assistance to the fire victims.

“’Yung DSWD, may dalang cash assistance. Ang NHA (National Housing Authority), idadaan lang sa proseso, may matatanggap din kayong cash assistance sa kanila. Magbibigay din po ang PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), magbibigay rin po ang PCSO (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office), PCUP (Philippine Commission on Urban Poor) at DoH (Department of Health). Ang DTI, may livelihood assistance,” Go said. “Lahat kayo, makakatanggap nito (assistance).”
