Press Release - Bringing services closer to communities: Adopted son of Pangasinan Bong Go aids workers, supports establishment of Super Health Center in Basista town

Senator Christopher "Bong" Go underscored the critical need to bring public services closer to communities in need especially when it comes to healthcare and livelihood support.

During his team's visit to Basista, Pangasinan, on Thursday, September 5, Go emphasized the importance of accessible government support to aid in the recovery of Filipinos affected by economic challenges.

Despite the inclement weather which affected Go's supposed visit to the town after he visited San Fabian earlier that day, his Malasakit Team continued with the activities in Basista to aid a thousand displaced workers and inspect a Super Health Center which Go has been advocating for.

As an adopted son of Pangasinan, Go reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to helping Pangasinenses especially during challenging times. That day, the local council also presented its resolution declaring Senator Go as an adopted son of the town of Basista.

At the relief activity held at the Basista gymnasium, a total of 1,000 displaced workers received various forms of assistance from Go's team, including grocery packs, snacks, vitamins, masks, and shirts. Several beneficiaries were also gifted basketballs, bicycle, watch, shoes, and a mobile phone.

In addition, the beneficiaries qualified for the Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program, thanks to Go's consistent advocacy for labor welfare and livelihood support.
