SEN.
Christopher Go, during the Senate hearing on Monday on the proposed 2025 budget for the Department of Social Welfare and Development , highlighted the importance of ensuring that Filipinos returning to their provinces under both the “Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa” and the new “Oplan Pag-Abot” programs receive appropriate assistance in accordance with its guidelines.
Go was one of the proponents of the BP2 program, a key initiative during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic aimed at decongesting urban areas, aiding Filipinos who wish to relocate back to their home provinces and at the same time, promoting regional development. “All in all, 7,000 families were profiled living in streets in Metro Manila. Of which, 2,638 actually went back to their families and reintegrated back to their families,” Gatchalian reported.
