Go welcomes higher trust, satisfaction ratings
MANILA, Philippines — Galvanized by higher trust and satisfaction ratings, Sen. Bong Go thanked the Filipino people for allowing him to serve them as he reaffirmed his commitment to continue helping more vulnerable sectors nationwide.
“I want to thank all of you for your continued support and trust in me. The truth is, just like former president Rodrigo Duterte, I am just a simple man from the province who has been given the chance to serve the people,” Go said in Filipino.
Based on the Tugon ng Masa (TNM) 2022 fourth quarter survey results by OCTA Research, the senator posted a 74 percent overall trust rating in October 2022, which is 24 percent higher compared to his December 2021 rating of 50 percent.
Go’s October 2022 performance rating of 71 percent is also a marked increase from his December 2021 rating of 50 percent, improving in all major areas and socio-economic classes.
Per region, 100 percent of adult Filipinos in Cordillera Administrative Region trust and are satisfied with the performance of Go. He likewise received full marks in terms of trust in Ilocos and Davao regions.
TNM National Survey is an independent and noncommissioned poll conducted regularly by OCTA Research. The subject poll was conducted from Oct. 23 to 27, 2022 with 1,200 male and female probability respondents aged 18 years and above from Classes AB, C, D or E.
Just like in the 18th Congress, Go continues to chair the Senate committees on health and on sports.
During the 18th Congress, he co-authored various landmark laws, including the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019.
While serving as special assistant to the Duterte presidency, he spearheaded the launch of the Malasakit Centers Program which put under one roof various government agencies that provide medical assistance to poor and indigent patients such as the Department of Health, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine Health Insurance Corp. and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
Go’s brainchild program continues to make it convenient and fast for financially incapacitated Filipinos to reduce their hospital bills to the lowest amount possible.
There are now 153 Malasakit Centers in all regions nationwide, benefitting more than four million Filipinos so far.
Go was also responsible for shepherding the passage of various hospital bills that either expanded existing government hospitals or established new ones, strengthening further the country’s health care system.
