Senator Christopher “Bong” Go continues to send aid to Filipinos who have been affected by fire anywhere in the country.
On Wednesday, October 14, Senator Go’s team distributed food packs, cash assistance, masks, face shields, vitamins, and medicines, as well as meals to 69 fire victims from Barangays San Ignacio, Doongan, and Dumalagan in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The fire incidents in these barangays happened on different dates.
“Mayroon akong kaunting ipinadala
na financial assistance sa inyo. Mayroon din akong
food packs na ipinadala, masks, at face shields kaya suotin ninyo ang mga 'yan
dahil delikado pa ang panahon sa ngayon. Kailangan mag-social distancing tayo
at maghugas ng mga kamay, at kung hindi naman kinakailangan ay 'wag ng lumabas
ng mga bahay,” Go told the fire victims.
The
team also handed out bicycles to selected recipients to help them in their
daily commute to work. They also provided tablets to selected beneficiaries to
help their children in their online education.
“Mayroon
din akong ipinadala riyan sa inyo na bisikleta para magamit ninyo sa trabaho.
Mayroon din akong ipinadala na mga tablets diyan para magamit ng mga anak
ninyo. Sa mga bata na nakikinig ngayon, mag-aral kayo nang mabuti dahil ito
lamang ang tanging kasiyahan ng inyong mga magulang,” he added.
In addition, the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Labor and Employment, and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority profiled and assessed potential beneficiaries for their Pangkabuhayan sa Pagbangon at Ginhawa Program, Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers Program, and Training and Scholarship, respectively.
