Rep. Mark Go rallied beneficiaries of the various assistance programs of his office and concerned government agencies to wisely use the said assistance for the needs of their families that will allow them to hurdle the current challenges affecting them.
Recently, Congressman Go and his energetic wife, Soledad Go, , personally met with the 583 beneficiaries of educational and financial assistance from his office under the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program which includes 335 college, high school, and elementary students, 244 senior citizens, solo parents, PWDs as well as 4 fire victims.
The lawmaker called on the said beneficiaries not to unnecessarily spend the amount that they were able to receive but instead use the same for their needs in school, for their medicines and whatever basic needs that will allow them to hurdle the current challenges that they are encountering as they move forward in their daily lives.
For the students, he urged them to make good in their studies so that they will be able to acquire their desired higher level of education which they will use to become productive and help in improving the living condition of their families in the future as education remains as the best inheritance that parents and guardians could give their children or their wards because the same cannot be easily stolen from them.
Congressman Go assured other indigent residents in the city that he will continue to source out sufficient funds from concerned government agencies to support the various assistance programs which they will be able to avail of in the coming months.
He recognized that there are still a significant portion of the city’s population that need the assistance from concerned government agencies that is why efforts are being to closely coordinate with the said agencies to provide more funds to support the continuous implementation of their programs to be able to reach out to the people who are in dire need of support to be able to survive the difficulties of life that had been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
