Sen. Bong Go appealed to the public to stay vigilant, disciplined, and supportive of the government's pandemic efforts as the fight against COVID-19 continues.

In a video message during a two-day relief activity in Dinagat Islands on 28 and 29 September, Go, who heads the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, stressed the need to strictly follow the health guidelines to curb the further spread of the virus.

"Manatili tayong disiplinado dahil hindi po kakayanin ng gobyerno ito mag-isa. Preventing the spread of COVID-19 starts with us by being responsible citizens and following health and safety protocols," highlighted Go.

"Kahit po lumuwag na ang restrictions sa paggamit ng face mask, mag-face mask pa rin po tayo. Wala naman po mawawala kung magdagdag tayo ng proteksyon laban sa virus," he added.

Held at Barangay Poblacion gym in Basilisa, White Beach covered court in Dinagat, Brgy. Sta. Cruz covered court in Loreto, and poblacion gymnasuim in Libjo, Go's staff distributed snacks, masks, shirts and vitamins to a total of 200 residents from the towns of San Jose, Basilisa, Cagdianao, Dinagat, Loreto and Libjo.

The team also provided cellular phones, shoes, and balls for basketball and volleyball to select beneficiaries.

Meanwhile, personnel from the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended livelihood grants to help more communities build back better from the pandemic.
