Senator Christopher Go sent his team to Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte to provide relief to fire-hit households as the lawmaker reassured the affected families that the Bureau of Fire Protection is undergoing a modernization program to improve its capability to respond to fire incidents.

The BFP Modernization Act — which Go principally authored and co-sponsored — provides for the acquisition of new fire equipment, hiring of additional personnel, and provision of specialized training for firefighters, among others. It also directs the BFP to conduct monthly fire prevention campaigns and information drives in every local government unit, in partnership with the Department of the Interior and Local Government.

The senator also urged everyone to remain vigilant against Covid-19 especially this holiday season. He also encouraged those eligible to get vaccinated and boosted.

Go's outreach team mounted the relief activity at Barangay Tamuntaka Hall where they handed out grocery packs, vitamins, masks, shirts, snacks, cellular phones, umbrellas, slippers, hats, and balls for basketball and volleyball to the two affected families.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development also extended separate financial assistance.

Go also advised those who have health concerns to take advantage of the services offered in the Malasakit Center at the Cotabato Sanitarium in Sultan Kudarat town, and Cotabato Regional and Medical Center in Cotabato City or in any of the other 151 Malasakit Centers nationwide.
