Senator Christopher "Bong" Go strengthened efforts with governors to bring public services closer to communities. He also expressed his gratitude to governors for their support of the previous Duterte administration. In particular, he pointed out the partnership formed in advancing initiatives that contribute to the well-being of the Filipino people, as he stressed the importance of collaborative efforts in bringing public services closer to communities.
"Sa mga governors, salamat po sa inyong suporta sa six years po ni (dating) president (Rodrigo) Duterte. Hindi po magiging successful ang kanyang administrasyon kung hindi po dahil sa inyong lahat," Go said in his speech during the League of Provinces of the Philippines' Year-End Celebration and Thanksgiving held at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City on Friday, 8 December.
The senator also encouraged governors in attendance to focus on the needs of the Filipino people, emphasizing that despite holding different titles in the government, they share the common purpose of serving the nation and providing essential support, particularly during times of crisis.
"Maraming salamat po sa inyo. And ini-encourge ko rin po kayo, suportahan natin ang ating gobyerno, para naman po ito sa Pilipino. At ang pakiusap ko lang po sa inyo, huwag n'yo pong pabayaan ang mga kababayan nating mahihirap, 'yung mga helpless, hopeless nating kababayan na walang matakbuhan kung 'di tayo pong nasa gobyerno," he added.
Senator Go was joined by fellow Senators Francis "Tol" Tolentino, Sherwin "Win" Gatchalian, and Joseph Victor "JV" Ejercito in gracing the event.
Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, expressed his commitment to enhancing the delivery of healthcare services to Filipinos, particularly those in vulnerable economic situations at the grassroots.
He highlighted initiatives such as the Malasakit Centers, Super Health Centers, and Regional Specialty Centers as key components of his efforts to ensure accessible and comprehensive healthcare for all.
Malasakit Centers serve as one-stop shops that streamline the provision of medical assistance programs by concerned government agencies, including the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, to indigent patients.
