Bong Go commends LGU for Dauin Mega Market soft opening in Negros Oriental
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go commended the local government for the soft opening of the Dauin Mega Market on Thursday, 17 August. The project, worth P156 million, was financed by the local government under its Economic Development Fund and the national government under the General Appropriations Act, with the support of Go, who is vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance. Go expressed his heartfelt gratitude and admiration for the project, emphasizing its importance to the community, saying, “This market is not just a symbol of progress; it is a beacon of hope, reflecting the hard work and dedication of the people of Dauin.” He also highlighted the significance of the free Wifi switch-on, stating, "What we see here is more than a place to buy and sell goods. The Dauin Mega Market is a community hub that can create opportunities for its people.” The Dauin Mega Market Free-Wifi Project aims to strengthen vendors and enhance the shopping experience for customers, reflecting the modern necessity of connectivity. “Ang connectivity po, sa panahon ngayon, ay hindi na luho; ito ay isa nang pangangailangan na kaakibat ng ating pag-asenso,” added Go. The inauguration was attended by the town officials of Dauin headed by Mayor Galicano Truita, along with the Executive Director of the Negros Oriental Tourism Council Woodrow Maquiling, Jr., who represented Go during the event, and Philippine National Police (PNP) Provincial Director PCol. Ronan Claravall. In addition, the ceremony was attended by Frederick Amores, the Regional Director of the Department of Information and Communications Technology, and Edward Du, President of the Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who played a key role in implementing the free wifi within the mega market.

Bong Go commends Phl Para teams
Senator Christopher “Bong” Go has filed Senate Resolution no. 713, commending and congratulating members of the Philippine Para Teams for their exceptional performance in the 2023 Southeast Asian Para Games held in Cambodia from June 3 to 9. The resolution recognizes the athletes’ dedication and talents, which led to the outstanding achievement of securing the 5th overall championship in the prestigious regional multi-sport event, which brought together para-athletes from across Southeast Asia. “Through your remarkable achievements, you have not only shown your remarkable abilities as athletes but have also inspired countless individuals with disabilities to pursue their dreams and break barriers. Your participation in this prestigious regional event exemplifies the true spirit of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and unity,” said Go. The resolution highlighted the remarkable achievements of the Philippine Para Teams, who displayed grit and determination throughout the competition. The country has successfully obtained 117 medals, with an impressive tally of 34 gold medals; 33 silver medals; and 50 bronze medals. This remarkable feat has brought the country to the 5th overall champion ranking. “As a nation, we are grateful for the countless hours of training and sacrifices you have made to represent the Philippines in the international arena. Your achievements serve as a beacon of hope and encouragement for others, proving that with perseverance and hard work, anything is possible,” he said. The resolution encouraged the Philippine government to continue its commitment to para-sports development as well as increase funding and support for para-athletes to further hone their skills and represent the nation in future international competitions. Meanwhile, Go continues to strengthen the sports sector in the country through proposed legislation. His initiatives aim to establish the Philippine National Games and expand benefits for para athletes, with the vision of transforming the nation's sporting landscape and providing a solid foundation for athletes to excel in national and international platforms. The proposed Senate Bill No. 423, known as the Philippine National Games Act, seeks to create a platform for athletes, especially young individuals, to showcase their skills and compete at the national level. The goal is to promote inclusivity, encourage grassroots participation, and discover and nurture exceptional talents in various sports disciplines. Through this nationwide multi-sport event, the Philippines aims to cement its status as a "Sports Powerhouse in Asia" and engage the youth in sports to steer them away from drugs. Go has filed SBN 2116 in a bid to amend Section 8 of Republic Act No. 10699 or the "National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act." The proposed legislation aims to enhance benefits for para athletes, recognizing the challenges they face and aiming to make sports development more inclusive and supportive. If approved, the bill will provide equal opportunities and recognition to para athletes, ensuring they receive incentives comparable to other national athletes competing in international competitions. Go emphasized that government support is crucial, especially for athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds, as it helps ease the financial burden of training, equipment, and participation in competitions. His proposed measures aim to create a sustainable and supportive environment for athletes, empowering them to focus on their athletic pursuits and achieve their full potential. “I urge my fellow lawmakers for their support. These proposed bills bolsters our sporting landscape in the country by fostering a culture of excellence, inclusivity, and support for athletes at all levels,” Go stressed. “By providing a platform for athletes to showcase their talents and by offering comprehensive support, we can nurture a new generation of world-class athletes and para athletes who can bring honor and pride to the nation,” he said.

Empire East opens exciting destination in Metro east
Real estate innovator and trendsetter Empire East unveils the newest destination in the east of Metro Manila — The Hub at Empire East Highland City — which is set to provide an exciting fusion of leisure, entertainment, and gastronomic experience for families and adventure-seekers. Strategically set along the thriving Felix Avenue at the convergence of Pasig City and Cainta, Rizal, which is conveniently accessible via Marcos Highway and Ortigas Avenue Extension, The Hub at Empire East Highland City opened its doors last 14 July, as Empire East welcomes its 29th year in the industry. This highly anticipated destination will also open every Saturday for the rest of 2023. "We understand the importance of families and hobbyists in building a community. Every residential development we conceptualize considers Filipino passions and interests that bring the community closer together,” says Atty. Anthony Charlemagne C. Yu, president and CEO of Empire East. Yu adds, “There should be ample space for families to commune, be one with nature, and reflect on the gift that they bring to their community. Such is the concept of The Hub — designed to bring people together, bond, and create lasting memories." A feast of the senses Visitors at The Hub can now immerse themselves in an ideal night-out destination, complete with al-fresco dining and live music entertainment as they indulge in a gastronomic feast filled with a wide range of food choices. From Asian to Mediterranean, up-and-coming food connoisseurs from around the vicinity will offer gourmet sandwiches, multi-flavored chicken wings, hot-off-the-grill barbecue ribs, tasteful Biryani, Korean egg drops, cheesy nachos, and a lot more. A delightful selection of beverages including coffee, teas, and mocktails, is available to pair each visitor’s choice of meals as they watch the city settle into vibrant sunsets and sparkling night skies. To add an extra touch of enchantment to the evening, local buskers provide a soirée of live acoustic music. For plant and trinket lovers, The Hub also features a bazaar of plants and goods crafted by the local community, such as knitted and crocheted products, nurseries and gardening supplies, clothing articles, books, and music artists' collectibles. A community built through food and music The highly anticipated opening of The Hub at Empire East Highland City was warmly welcomed by Pasig and Cainta locals as well as those driving along Felix Avenue. Visitors and diners were entertained with live music from a roster of talented artists, and some guests spontaneously joined on-stage for their “open mic” performances, raising the already exciting atmosphere of the vibrant destination. With a diverse mix of food concessionaires, attendees had an unparalleled culinary experience. Visitors raved about the unique flavors of the snacks and dishes, with one guest exclaiming, "I never expected the egg drop sandwiches to match so well with those coffee blends!" A certified “foodie” who is also into vlogging, tried almost all the amazing food and drink concoctions at The Hub. He commends, "I have a high rating for all the food concessionaires. Aside from the yummy food, I think it's also a great idea that Empire East created a space for small to medium businesses to give them additional leverage in selling their products." A glimpse into the future of the East The Hub gives a glimpse into the exciting lifestyle that awaits homebuyers and future residents at Empire East Highland City, a masterfully planned township featuring high-rise residential towers, wide open spaces and greeneries, and sustainably designed architecture to align with the Empire East's commitment to sustainable development. The opening of The Hub marks the beginning of Empire East Highland City's transformation into a vibrant, sustainable township in the East of Metro Manila, carrying Empire East’s trademark of innovation and excellence for the past three decades. "Wherever Empire East builds, the community follows. Empire East is known for creating hubs from seed efforts, such as The Hub. With this unique destination, we will look at the opportunity to make this community stand out even more by creating value even during its initial development stages," Atty. Yu stated. Since 1994, Empire East has consistently raised the standards in innovative city living and has pioneered lifestyle concepts that benefited its homeowners and investors. Recognized with various accolades, both locally and internationally, the company remains dedicated to building communities that reshape the urban landscape, solidifying its leadership in the real estate industry.
