Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go supported Wednesday the appeal of local government officials, civic organizations and entrepreneurs for government to also provide aid to middle class Filipino families during the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis.
“Marami pong Pilipino na hindi kasama sa poorest of the poor pero kailangan rin ng tulong. Ito ang mga may trabaho pero apektado ang operasyon ng negosyo o ng mga employers nila. Dapat matulungan lahat ng apektado na malampasan ang krisis na ito ,” Go said.
