Senator Christopher "Bong" Go has visited Parañaque City to personally aid 208 fire-hit households at the Barangay Don Bosco municipal covered court over the weekend.
Go reaffirmed his advocacy of providing a more comfortable life for all and making certain that no Filipino is left behind in the path toward recovery amid various crises including the ongoing pandemic.
The senator's team provided cash assistance, grocery packs, vitamins, shirts, masks, and meals to the affected families.
Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development extended financial assistance to help the victims sustain their daily needs as they recover from the fire incident.
Go, likewise, assured the public that the Bureau of Fire Protection is presently undergoing modernization to improve its capability to respond to fire incidents.
Republic Act 11589, which was primarily authored and co-sponsored by Go in the Senate, provides for a 10-year modernization program that includes the acquisition of modern fire equipment, recruitment of more firefighters, and provision of specialized training, among others.
Go also advised those with health concerns to seek the services of the Malasakit Center at the Ospital ng Parañaque should they need assistance with their medical bills.
A one-stop shop, the Malasakit Center provides poor and indigent patients convenient access to medical assistance programs from Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Health, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation.
Go is the principal author and sponsor of the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019. He has backed the construction of two Super Health Centers in the city.
The SHCs will provide basic health needs such as database management, out-patient, birthing, isolation, diagnostic (laboratory: X-ray, ultrasound), pharmacy, and ambulatory surgical unit.
Other available services are eye, ear, nose and throat service; oncology; physical therapy and rehabilitation center; and telemedicine, where remote diagnosis and treatment of patients will be done.
As Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, Go has also supported the construction of several multipurpose buildings in the city.
Later in the day, Go attended the Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence and Outstanding Filipino Achievers 2022 at the Manila Hotel where he received an award for Outstanding and Significant Achievement in Public Service.
