SPECIAL Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher “Bong” Go led the distribution of government assistance to some 3,500 Nanay Community Workers (NCW) who were affected by the recent flooding caused by typhoons and the southwest monsoon at Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in the City of San Fernando on Tuesday, August 28.
The beneficiaries were from the municipalities of Floridablanca, Guagua, Porac, Lubao, Sasmuan and Sta. Rita.
Go was assisted by Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda, Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, board members Fritzie Dizon, Anthony Joseph Torres, Arthur Salalila, Salvador Dimson, Jr., Rosve Henson, Cherry Manalo, Pol Balingit and Nelson Calara, mayors Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab, Darwin Manalansan, Dante Torres, Nardo Velasco, Edwin Santiago, and Ferdinand Salalila, and Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) head Angie Blanco.
On behalf of President Rodrigo Duterte, Go left a message for the NCWs to uplift their spirits.
"Bukas po ang gobyerno at lokal na pamahalaan sa patuloy na pagbibigay ng ayuda sa mga kapwa nating Pilipino na apektado ng mga sakuna tulad ng baha at sunog," Go said.
(The government is always open and will continue to give aid to fellow Filipinos affected by calamities and disasters like flood and fires.)
"Hindi po kami magsasawa, ako at ang Pangulo na magbigay sa kanila ng tulong kahit maliit lang tulad ng damit, pagkain, at iba pa," he added.
(The President and I will never stop giving help even in small ways like clothing, food, and others.) (PR)
