Senator Bong Go, who had been proclaimed an adopted son of Alfonso, Cavite, and already recognized as an adopted son of CALABARZON with familial roots from Batangas through the Tesoro clan, inspected the Super Health Center in the town recently.
This honor not only underscores Go’s growing ties with the community but also strengthens his commitment to serving the people of Alfonso and the entire region.
In his speech, the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography proudly mentioned that one of his key advocacies is the establishment of more Super Health Centers nationwide.
“Sa mga itinayo ng Super Health Centers, nakita namin kung gaano kalaki ang naitutulong nito sa komunidad lalo na sa rural areas.”
“Sa mga itinayo ng Super Health Centers, nakita namin kung gaano kalaki ang naitutulong nito sa komunidad lalo na sa rural areas. ‘Yun po ang layunin ng mga Super Health Centers, ang ilapit sa mamamayan ang serbisyong medikal ng gobyerno,” the legislator said.
Through the concerted efforts of Go, fellow lawmakers, the Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Ted Herbosa, and local government units, adequate funding was allocated for establishing more than 700 Super Health Centers nationwide, including 17 in Cavite.
The senator also expressed gratitude to the local government for their diligent efforts in making the Super Health Center a reality.
He specifically thanked Congresswoman Aniela Tolentino, Governor Jonvic Remulla, Vice Governor Athena Tolentino, Alfonso Mayor Randy Salamat, and Vice Mayor Madona Mojica-Pel for their contributions.
In a display of gratitude and recognition, the Municipality of Alfonso, Cavite, through its Sangguniang Bayan (SB), officially declared Go as an adopted son of the municipality. The declaration was made during the 95th Regular Session of the 11th Sangguniang Bayan of Alfonso on August 8.
The resolution, sponsored by SB Member Jorge Michael Peñano, highlighted Go’s exemplary contributions to public service and his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the residents of Alfonso.
The resolution specifically noted effective and efficient public administration, which has inspired local leaders to implement various beneficial programs and projects.
Go’s support has been instrumental in several key initiatives in Alfonso, particularly during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Among the projects attributed to his efforts are the provision of financial assistance during the pandemic and the construction of the Super Health Center in Barangay Mangas II.
Salamat extended his sincere thanks to Go, acknowledging the senator’s support and numerous contributions to the municipality.
“Talagang hindi ko na kailangan lumapit, siya po mismo ang lumalapit po.”
“Alam niyo po, vice mayor pa lang po ako, kaibigan ko na po itong taong ito. Talagang hindi ko na kailangan lumapit, siya po mismo ang lumalapit po,” the mayor shared.
“Tapos, alam n’yo po ba, walang tigil ‘yung pagbibigay po natin ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan sa ospital. Bukod po sa Malasakit Center, nakakatanggap po tayo ng GL o guarantee letter. Galing po ‘yun kay Senator Bong Go,” he noted, citing Go’s compassion for the sick and his efforts to improve healthcare access.
Salamat also recalled Go’s swift response during the Taal Volcano eruption, where the senator advocated for an evacuation center for the affected residents.
“Noong pumutok ang bulkan, sino ang nagbigay po sa atin ng evacuation center sa barangay? Si Senator Bong Go,” he remarked, highlighting the senator’s readiness to assist in times of crisis.
“Senator Bong Go, mahal na mahal po kayo ng Alfonso,” Salamat declared, reinforcing the strong bond between the senator and the people of Alfonso.
