Oslob fishers get aid from Go
MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Bong Go’s team distributed relief assistance to 198 members of Tan-awan Oslob Sea Warden and Fishermen Association in Cebu on Thursday.
Go’s staff distributed vitamins, food packs, face masks and face shields. They also gave bicycles to selected beneficiaries.
“Mayroon akong ipinadala diyan na pagkain, face shield at mask. Suotin niyo po ‘yan dahil delikado pa ang panahon ngayon. Mag-cooperate tayo sa gobyerno hangga’t wala pang vaccine. Huwag tayong magkumpiyansa,” he said.
“Huwag kayong mag-alala, kapag mayroon nang vaccine, uunahin namin ang mga mahihirap at mga fishermen natin para makabalik na tayo sa ating mga normal na pamumuhay. Tiis lang tayo ng konti,” Go added.
Representatives of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) provided financial aid to 176 fishermen-beneficiaries through the assistance to individuals in crisis situation or AICS program.
“Aking pinakiusapan ang DSWD dahil nakarinig ako na ang iba sa inyo ay hindi pa nakakatanggap ng SAP (social amelioration program). Mayroon tayong programa sa national government na tinatawag na AICS, kaya may makakatanggap diyan ng cash assistance na galing sa DSWD,” Go said.
The Department of Trade and Industry evaluated prospective beneficiaries of the livelihood assistance.
The senator said fishermen who need medical assistance could visit the Malasakit Center at the Talisay District Hospital.
