Senator Christopher "Bong" Go's outreach team and the Office of Councilor Jelina Magsuci conducted a relief operation at the City Mall in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.
Go's team distributed snacks to 650 beneficiaries, while select recipients received a bicycle, cellular phone, shirts, and balls for basketball and volleyball.
Financial assistance from the national government was also given to qualified residents in coordination with local officials.
Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, encouraged those with medical concerns to seek assistance from the nearest Malasakit Center in the province located at the Oriental Mindoro Provincial Hospital.
As principal author and sponsor of the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019, Go vowed to monitor the continued operations of the Malasakit Centers, which have helped around 10 million Filipinos as of October 2023. There are 159 Malasakit centers nationwide.

The centers bring together representatives from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, DoH, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. These one-stop shops aim to help impoverished patients reduce their hospital costs to the least possible amount.
Go also shared his vision to bring public health services closer to the Filipinos through the construction of Super Health Centers nationwide. The facility will offer a wide range of services, including database management, outpatient, birthing, isolation, diagnostic (laboratory: x-ray and ultrasound), pharmacy, and an ambulatory surgical unit.
Through the collective efforts of Go's fellow lawmakers, local government units and DOH, sufficient funds have been allocated for 307 Super Health Centers in 2022 and 322 Super Health Centers in 2023. DoH, as the lead implementing agency, identifies the strategic areas where the centers will be constructed.
