SENATOR Christopher “Bong” Go is seeking to muster continuous support for disaster-affected communities as his Malasakit Team provided aid to recovering Typhoon Paeng victims in Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental on Thursday, March 7.
“While we have made significant strides in providing immediate aid, the road to recovery for the families affected by natural disasters is long and fraught with challenges,” Go stated.
Held at the municipal gymnasium in Brgy. Caburan Small and barangay hall in Brgy. Balangonan, the Malasakit Team aided a total of 131 families affected by the typhoon with snacks, shirts, facemasks, vitamins, basketball and volleyball, keychains, calendars, and burgers. Select recipients received shoes, a watch, and a phone.
“Sa pamamagitan nito, hindi lamang natin sila tinutulungan na magkaroon ulit ng maayos na masisilungan, kundi binibigyan din natin sila ng bagong pag-asa,” he added. Currently, there are 159 Malasakit Centers nationwide. Go primarily authored and sponsored the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019.
