“Department of Overseas Filipinos Act of 2019.”
SEN. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go has vowed to continue his mission to help improve various government services as he marked his first year in office as an elected senator of the Philippines.Go, who heads the health and demography committee, admitted that the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has brought into the open how crucial responsive and efficient delivery of critical government services is in the country’s fight against the disease.
Go also acknowledges that pertinent facilities in the face of crisis should be readily accessible to Filipino wherever they are in the country. It is for this reason that he filed SB 1228 which mandates the establishment of an evacuation center in every province, city and municipality throughout the country.
To capacitate the Health department in streamlining the enhancement of local public hospitals, the Senator also filed SB 1226, or the proposed “DoH Hospital Bed Capacity and Service Capability Rationalization Act,” which authorizes the DoH to increase the bed capacity and service capability of its retained hospitals and to allow it to promulgate evaluation and approval guidelines.
