PASAY CITY -- After personally leading the successful launch of two Malasakit Centers in the municipalities of Culion and Brooke's Point on November 3 and 4, respectively, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go continued his relief efforts to struggling Filipinos in Palawan as his team organized series of distribution activities in Brooke's Point, Bataraza, and Narra on Thursday, November 4.
In a video message, Go, who serves as the Chair of Senate Committee on Health and Demography, reminded the residents to make health a priority, especially during the ongoing national health emergency.
He then offered assistance to those who are in need of immediate hospital care as he encouraged them to visit any of the three Malasakit Centers in Palawan located at the Ospital ng Palawan in Puerto Princesa City, Culion Sanitarium and General Hospital in Culion, and Southern Palawan Provincial Hospital in Brooke's Point.
The Malasakit Center is a one-stop shop which streamlines the process of acquiring aid for medical expenses from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Health, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office. The program, which Go initiated in 2018, has since benefitted more than three million Filipinos nationwide.
"Kung may nararamdaman kayo, 'wag niyo nang patagalin pa. Kadalasan, ayaw ng mga Pilipino magpa-check-up dahil baka malaki ang gastusin sa ospital. Alam ko kung gaano ka hirap maging mahirap pero hindi niyo na kailangang magmakaawa para makahingi ng tulong sa ating gobyerno," said Go.
"Ang Malasakit Center po ay batas na, isinulong ko noon, pinirmahan ni Pangulong Duterte, para po 'yan sa mga poor and indigent patients. Lapitan niyo lang po ang Malasakit Center. Handa pong tumulong 'yan sa ating kapwa Pilipino," he added.
Furthermore, Go encouraged all eligible residents to get vaccinated to protect themselves from the threat of coronavirus, and to help the government attain population protection and herd immunity soon.
"Pero habang patuloy tayong nagbabakuna huwag maging kumpiyansa. Inuulit ko, disiplina po ang kailangan. Sumunod tayo sa mga paalala ng gobyerno, face mask, social distancing at hugas ng kamay. Kung hindi naman po kailangan huwag munang umalis ng pamamahay dahil delikado pa po ang panahon," Go reminded.
Go's team held the relief operations at Brooke's Point Municipal Octagon, Bataraza Municipal Coliseum, and Narra Municipal Sports Complex. They grouped the beneficiaries into smaller batches to ensure a well-coordinated distribution, in compliance with the health and safety protocols.
The outreach team handed out grocery packs, meals, vitamins and masks to 2,823 beneficiaries, composed of indigents and typhoon victims. They also gave selected recipients computer tablets, new pairs of shoes, and bicycles.
A team from DSWD then provided the residents with separate assistance through its existing programs to further help them.
As Vice Chair of Senate Committee on Finance, Go supported various projects that aim to boost the economy of the province, such as several road concretions and improvements in Brooke's Point and the construction of a seawall, flood control structures, and several roads in Narra.
He also supported the construction of multi-purpose buildings in several islands in the province; construction of roads in Aborlan, Coron, Sofronio Española, Quezon and Rizal; installation of drainage and small water impounding in Cagayancillo; acquisition of dump trucks in Coron and Dumaran; and the acquisition and installation of street lights in Linapacan, Magsaysay and Puerto Princesa City.
Go then thanked the local officials of each municipality for their hard work and determination in assuring that their respective communities quickly recover from the challenges brought by the pandemic.
"Mga kababayan ko, kaunting tiis lang po. Alam ko pong nahihirapan po kayo, kami rin po Pangulong Duterte ay nahihirapan din po. Subalit, kayo po ang nagbibigay lakas sa amin para magtrabaho pa po at magserbisyo po para sa inyong lahat upang malampasan po natin itong krisis na ating kinakaharap sa ngayon. Magbayanihan po tayo, magmalasakit po tayo sa ating kapwa Pilipino," Go ended.
On the previous day, Go personally led the distribution activities to thousands of residents in Culion, Busuanga and Puerto Princesa City. (OSBG)
