Bong Go revisits Pasay fire victims

MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Bong Go on Monday extended additional assistance to residents displaced by a recent fire in Barangay 190, Pasay City.

Go revisited 29 fire-affected families whom the Malasakit Team had aided in June.

He reaffirmed his commitment to continue supporting the families as they work toward rebuilding their lives.

The residents were given grocery packs, vitamins, snacks, shirts, pens, bags as well as basketballs, volleyballs and pickleballs. Selected beneficiaries received shoes, watches and mobile phones.

Go thanked barangay officials, social welfare personnel and volunteers who helped facilitate the aid distribution.

Go, principal author and co-sponsor of the Bureau of Fire Protection Modernization Act, emphasized the importance of sustained government investments in disaster preparedness, fire prevention, emergency response and recovery to help communities better withstand emergencies.
