Marcos leads Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair launch in CamSur

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday graced the simultaneous launch of the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair in Nabua, Camarines Sur.

The Bagong Pilipinas caravan involves the consolidation of programs and services by various government agencies in one venue to speed up their delivery to Filipinos.

In his speech, Marcos noted that these government agencies and institutions were in "full force" to deliver medical, health, financial, livelihood, and education assistance to "give Filipinos "new hope and new beginnings."

"This program is just one of the first initiatives of the government to give Filipinos new hope and a new beginning. Our islands may be detached from one another, but we are united by one spirit and one dream – the new Philippines for the new Filipino)," Marcos said in vernacular.

"We gathered various government agencies to deliver services that would improve your lives," he added.

The event featured the government's flagship programs such as Kadiwa ng Pangulo, Passport on Wheels, Driver's License registration/assistance, National I.D., Pag-IBIG Fund, National Bureau of Investigation and Police Clearance applications—wherein various government agencies have extended their respective assistance to farmers, fisherfolk, senior citizens, and sick Filipinos.

Marcos said his administration would continue working to improve the government services to the people.

"We have one goal – to promote a new Philippines that we can proudly pass on to our children and the future generations)," he said.

The two-day caravan was also held simultaneously in Monkayo, Davao de Oro led by Vice President Sara Duterte; the Visayas State University in Tolosa, Leyte led by House of Representatives Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez; and the Mariano Marcos State University in Laoag, Ilocos Norte led by 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos III.

In Camarines Sur, the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair hosts 75 programs and services from 29 government agencies, including social services, livelihood and educational services, and other regulatory functions that would benefit 120,000 residents.

The Presidential Communications Office said the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair is intended to be replicated in every province to speed up the delivery of government services to the countryside.

It is one of the targeted programs of the Marcos administration to promote the all-inclusive "Bagong Pilipinas" brand of governance and leadership campaign.
