Bong Go pushes for intensified pandemic recovery efforts

Sen. Bong Go lauded President Bongbong Marcos and the current administration's commitment to continue the fight against COVID-19 and ensure no one is left behind toward full pandemic recovery.

In his video message during a relief activity mounted by his team for indigents in Tarlac City on Monday, 7 November, Go once again called on the eligible public to participate in the national vaccination program, stressing that vaccines are key to the country's return to normalcy.

He also reiterated the need for the government to further intensify its pandemic recovery efforts.

"Nakikiusap din po ako sa ating mga local officials na tuluy-tuloy lang po ang malasakit sa kapwa. Magtulungan po tayo. Kung kinakailangan po ay suyurin natin ang mga malalayong lugar upang masigurado na lahat po ng Pilipino ay protektado laban sa COVID-19," urged Go.

"Huwag po natin hayaan na mapupuno na naman po ang mga ospital nang dahil sa tumataas na kaso. Mas patatagin pa natin ang ating vaccination efforts. Huwag pong maging kumpiyansa dahil ito pong COVID-19 ay hindi po natin nakikitang kalaban. Sumunod pa rin po sa mga basic health protocols," he reiterated.

The relief activity was mounted at Tarlac Provincial Evacuation Center where Go's staff distributed snacks, masks and shirts to 169 disadvantaged residents. Shoes, cellular phones, and balls for basketball were likewise provided to select beneficiaries.

Moreover, another team from the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended financial assistance to each affected household to help mitigate the adverse impacts of the ongoing pandemic.
