na daloy ng komersyo mula at patungo sa malalayong lugar," he said.
Quezon people to
benefit of Duterte’s infra projects
Go, in his speech, also highlighted key infrastructure

Among these are the Philippine National Railway (PNR) South
Long-Haul project that will make transportation easier from Manila to Southern
Luzon and Bicol region, the Quezon-Bicol Expressway project that will offer an
alternative route for travellers from Quezon to Bicol, and the Kaliwa Dam
Project that will improve water supply in the area.*
Go, if elected to senate, said that he will push for laws
that will bring development to every part of the country. Quality healthcare
services for each and every Filipino is also one of his top priorities through
the establishement of Malasakit Centers.
"Noong ako ay assistant pa ng ating pangulo, maraming
programa ang aking ipinatupad para sa Pilipino. Isa na rito ay ang pagtatatag
ng mga Malasakit Centers para matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga
kababayang sa kanilang pagpapa-ospital. Nais kong ipagpatuloy ang magandang
gawaing ito sa Senado at sisiguruhin ko na makapagpapatayo pa ng mas maraming
Malasakit Centers sa buong bansa," Go said.
Malasakit Center up
next
He also said that the Duterte government is planning to put
up a Malasakit Center in Quezon province before the year ends.
The Malasakit Center is a one-stop shop program of President
Duterte to hasten the delivery of medical services and give poor patients
access to free medicine. A fast lane prioritizing the senior citizens and
persons with disabilities (PWDs) will also be available.
Moreover, Go also said that he aims to legislate laws that
will fund the building of sports and development facilities in every local
govern unit wherein citizen, especially the youth can avail free sports
clinics. He will also push for the establishment of evacuation centers for
every local government unit, so that every Filipino will have a safe place to
stay in times of disasters and calamities.
