Sen. Bong Go continues to push for more initiatives to build a safer and more resilient Philippines as his team mounted a two-day relief operation for quake-hit communities in Tineg, Abra on 1 and 2 December.

"Sa mga kababayan ko diyan sa Abra, huwag po kayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Alam ko pong napakahirap pa rin ng panahon ngayon at nasa gitna pa tayo ng pandemya at ito nga po na tinamaan pa kayo ng lindol. Huwag kayong mag-alala, magtulungan lang po tayo at magmalasakit, makakaahon din po tayo mula sa krisis na ito," encouraged Go in his video message.

Go's team mounted the relief operations at the municipal gymnasium where they distributed masks and snacks to 1,140 quake victims. They also provided bicycles, cellular phones, shoes, and balls for basketball to select beneficiaries.

Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended financial aid through its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation program.
