Senator Christopher “Bong” Go continues his hospital feeding initiative, providing warm meals to patients, their companions, and healthcare workers in public hospitals across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao as part of his ongoing assistance program for indigent Filipinos.
Go said the initiative responds to the financial struggles of many families confined in government hospitals, where limited resources are often prioritized for medicines, transportation, and medical expenses.
“Marami tayong kababayan na kapag may sakit ang mahal sa buhay, inuuna ang pambili ng gamot at iba pang gastusin sa ospital. Minsan, kulang na ang natitira para sa pagkain. Kaya kung may maiaabot tayong simpleng tulong tulad ng lugaw, ginagawa natin sa abot ng ating makakaya,” Go said.
From May 25 to 29, the Malasakit Team conducted feeding activities in hospitals across Rizal, Cavite, Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Pampanga, Eastern Samar, Bukidnon, and Davao City, including the Southern Philippines Medical Center.
Go said the program is designed to support patients and caregivers who often spend long hours in hospitals awaiting treatment and updates on their loved ones.
He added that the feeding initiative complements the services of Malasakit Centers, which help indigent patients access medical assistance from government agencies.
“Hindi man kalakihan ang naitutulong nito, ang mahalaga ay may naiaabot tayong suporta sa mga nangangailangan. Patuloy lang tayong magtutulungan at magmamalasakit sa isa’t isa,” he said.
Go reiterated his commitment to public service, saying, “Patuloy akong magseserbisyo sa mga Pilipino dahil bisyo ko ang magserbisyo at naniniwala ako na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo sa Diyos,” he added.
