Go rushes aid to Novaliches fire victims

Right after the opening of the 46th Malasakit Center at the Novaliches District Hospital, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go proceeded to an evacuation site in Novaliches where fire victims of a recent incident are temporarily located.

Go distributed food packs, groceries, cash assistance and construction materials to 27 affected families. He also offered school supplies and uniform to students so they could attend back to their classes right away.

The senator also brought with him representatives of different government agencies, such as the Department of Health (DoH) and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). These agencies will assess and provide the needed assistance to the fire victims.

Go urged to the fire victims to have themselves checked at the Novaliches District Hospital and avail of the free services through the Malasakit Center and noted that he has also been pushing for the institutionalization of the Malasakit Center through the Malasakit Center Act of 2019 he filed earlier this year in the Senate.
