“Your unwavering commitment and service to the community are truly commendable. It is through your hard work and dedication that we can provide better health services to our fellow Filipinos,” Go said.

The senator expressed his appreciation for AMSWPI’s initiatives, which align with his advocacy for a stronger health system in the country and reiterated his commitment to further enhancing the healthcare system, ensuring Filipinos can access the necessary services.

“For my part, I will continue to pour efforts into strengthening our healthcare system,” Go said.
