Senator Christopher “Bong” Go advocated for enhanced support for the entrepreneurial sector through more livelihood development initiatives from the government as he and his Malasakit Team personally assisted struggling sectors in Lucena City, Quezon province, on Tuesday, March 5.
In coordination with Governor Helen Tan, Go, and his team held the relief activity at the Quezon Convention Center in the city, where 198 residents received snacks, shirts, vitamins, masks, and balls for basketball and volleyball. There were also select recipients of a mobile phone, shoes, and a watch.
Meanwhile, as part of an ongoing effort to alleviate the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable sectors, the government also extended sustainable livelihood grants to these beneficiaries. In the Senate, Go is one of the authors and co-sponsors of Republic Act No. 11960, or the One Town, One Product Philippines Act. This law aims to decentralize economic opportunities by empowering each town and province to develop and promote its unique products. Doing so fosters community-led innovation and bridges the urban-rural economic divide, providing small farmers more avenues to market their produce.
