Sen. Bong Go's team mounted yet another series of relief operations in Cagayan province on Thursday, 6 October, to provide assistance to struggling residents in the towns of Santa Teresita and Peñablanca.

The team held the distribution activities at the respective municipal gymnasiums where they handed out masks and snacks to a total of 100 indigent residents and provided select individuals shoes, cellular phones, and balls for basketball and volleyball.

To further help the residents whose livelihoods were adversely affected by the global health crisis, the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended livelihood assistance grants to help them start anew.

"Marami po talagang nawalan ng hanapbuhay nang dahil sa pandemya pero, mga kababayan ko, huwag po kayo mawalan ng pag-asa. Kami naman po sa gobyerno ay ginagawa ang lahat upang matulungan ang bawat apektadong lugar sa bansa," expressed Go in his video message.

"Nais ko naman pong pasalamatan ang DSWD sa kanilang programang Sustainable Livelihood Program. Nang dahil dito, nabigyan po ang maraming Pilipino ng paraan para kumita. Bibigyan ho kayo ng puhunan, pwede kayo magbukas ng maliit na tindahan, at sana ay dalhin niyo ang kita sa inyong pamilya," he cited.

From October 3 to 4, Go's team also provided assistance to disadvantaged residents from the towns of Rizal, Amulung, and Claveria.
