The office of Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go swiftly responded to victims of the June 25 fire that struck Sitio Mananga 2, Barangay Tabunok, Talisay City, displacing 248 families—or roughly 1,000 individuals.
Fulfilling his campaign promise to prioritize assistance for calamity-hit communities, Senator Go's team visited the site on June 30 to personally distribute relief goods.
The aid packages included grocery packs, gallons of drinking water, vitamins, and other essential items.
