Sen. Bong Go had his team distribute aid to struggling residents in Pontevedra, Negros Occidental on Wednesday, 31 August. 

In his video message during the activity held at the municipal gymnasium, Go reiterated that he will exert great efforts to continue former president Rodrigo Duterte's goal of providing Filipinos a more comfortable life. 

"Kahit po na lumiit na ang aking kapasidad, asahan niyo po na ipagpapatuloy ko po ang nasimulan ni dating pangulong Duterte na mabigyan ang bawat Pilipino ng komportableng buhay. Bisyo ko po ang magserbisyo sa inyo, mga kababayan ko. Kaya ako po ay patuloy na maninilbihan sa inyo sa abot nang aking makakaya," reaffirmed Go. 

"Asahan niyo rin po patuloy din ang gobyerno sa paghahatid ng tapat na serbisyo sa inyong lahat. Ngunit, hindi po kakayanin ito ng gobyerno kung wala po ang inyong kooperasyon at suporta," he appealed. 

Go's team handed out masks, shirts, and snacks to 296 residents and provided shoes, computer tablets, bicycles, and balls for volleyball and basketball to select individuals. 

Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended financial aid under its Sustainable Livelihood Program.
