Press Release - Bong Go visits Cavite City to boost recovery of fire victims; partners with LGU and NHA to provide support and help in rebuilding efforts

Adopted son of CALABARZON, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go personally visited fire victims in Cavite City on Monday, August 26, in coordination with Mayor Denver Reyes Chua.

"Sa mga nasunugan, huwag ho kayong mag-alala. Sabi ko nga sa inyo noon, ang gamit ay nabibili, ang pera ay kikitain, subalit 'yung perang kikitain ay hindi po nabibili ang buhay. A lost life is a lost life forever. Pangalagaan at ingatan po natin ang buhay at kalusugan ng bawat isa," said Go.

Go also partnered with the National Housing Authority, through the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) which he previously initiated and continues to support its implementation, so that qualified disaster victims can be given financial grants to help them rebuild their homes.

"Itinaguyod natin ang programang EHAP noon at patuloy ko itong sinusuportahan ngayon upang matulungan ang mga biktima ng sunog na makabili ng materyales para sa bahay tulad ng yero, pako, semento, at iba pang kakailanganin upang makapagpatayo muli ng maayos na tirahan," Go explained.

EHAP aims to provide immediate relief and support to families who have lost their homes due to disasters such as fires, typhoons, and earthquakes. By pushing for the continuing implementation of EHAP, affected families are given a boost by Go to help rebuild their lives and homes.

Aside from the emergency housing assistance from government, Go also personally provided a total of 746 households with grocery packs, meals, water containers, alcohol, shirts, basketballs, volleyballs, masks, and vitamins. There were also select recipients of shoes, mobile phones, bicycles, and a watch.

"Mga kababayan ko, huwag kayong magpasalamat sa akin. Trabaho ko po ang tumulong sa inyo sa abot ng aking makakaya... kami po ang dapat magpasalamat sa inyo dahil nabigyan kami ng pagkakataon na magserbisyo sa inyong lahat," he expressed.

Go then thanked his fellow public servants for their continued support to their constituents, including Mayor Chua, Vice Mayor Raleigh Rusit, Councilors Mau Lu, Edmund Tirona, Marrian Pinzon, Renan Montoya, Jun Novero, Doods Nuguid, Marc Serrano, Mark Amparo, and Jet Barrera, among others.
