Sen. Bong Go together with Sen. Robinhood Padilla, personally visited Josefina, Zamboanga del Sur on Friday, 18 November, to assist thousands of struggling residents.

Held at the municipal gymnasium, Go and his team handed out grocery packs, vitamins, masks, meals, umbrellas, caps and shirts to 1,697 residents. They also provided cellular phones, shoes, watches, bicycles, and balls for basketball and volleyball to select beneficiaries.

"Isa sa pamaraan na labanan natin ang iligal na droga ay iengganyo ang kabataan na to get into sports, stay away from drugs. Ilayo natin ang kabataan sa iligal na droga. Kaya galit si (dating) presidente Duterte sa iligal na droga (dahil) kapag may biktima ng droga sa pamilya, sira na ang pamilya. Nakikiusap kami sa inyo na layuan n'yo ang iligal na droga. Kaya mamimigay kami ngayon ng mga bola sa inyo. Magbasketball na lang tayo, magvolleyball na lang tayo. Get into sports, stay away from drugs," Go encouraged in his speech.

In line with the government's efforts to help the most needy sector, personnel from the Department of Social Welfare and Development likewise provided financial assistance to the residents.
