Go vows pro-poor programs’ support
Senator Christopher “Bong” Go lauded President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s accomplishments in the past year as he underscored the urgency of continuing pro-poor programs and initiatives for the benefit of the marginalized sectors in the country. Go also pledged his continued support for the establishment of Regional Specialty Centers. This, following the passage of Regional Specialty Centers Act that he principally sponsored and is one of the authors in the Senate, which provides for their creation. The measure is now awaiting the president’s signature. In an ambush interview on Tuesday, 11 July after aiding poor residents in Trece Martires City, Cavite, Go highlighted his commitment to ensure sustained funding for healthcare facilities nationwide including the establishment of the Regional Specialty Centers. Such centers are intended to be located in Department of Health regional hospitals across the country. Each center will host a different specialty, bringing services such as those available in Metro Manila-based hospitals like the Heart Center, Lung Center and the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, closer to the people in the regions. The legislation is an integral part of the health-related legislative agenda of the Marcos administration, as outlined in the Philippine Development Plan 2023 to 2028. Go expressed his anticipation for continued and increased focus on pro-poor initiatives by the administration in the forthcoming second State of the Nation Address of Marcos scheduled on 24 July. Reflecting on the harsh effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, Go emphasized the necessity of ensuring food security and job creation for all Filipinos, especially those most affected by the health crisis. Meanwhile, Go emphasized the urgency of finding a solution to Davao del Norte’s power supply outages during a public hearing conducted by the Senate Committee on Energy on Wednesday, 12 July. Go appealed to the Northern Davao Electric Cooperative to provide immediate solutions after its commitment to resolve the issue by 30 June 2023, has apparently not been met. A native Davaoeño, Go cited a specific incident from 13 June when an unscheduled brownout disrupted his speech in Tagum City in Davao del Norte. Go demanded an update on NORDECO’s earlier promise to resolve the brownout issue by 30 June. In response, a representative from NORDECO extended their apologies for the interruptions. They explained that the unscheduled interruption on 13 June was a result of an issue with the Mindanao grid, which affected the 400-megawatt supply of power.
