SEN. Bong Go on Monday said the continuation of his feeding program would still be part of his commitment to public service. From Jan. 12 to 16, he said his office continued its hospital-based feeding activity, providing warm meals to patients, their companions, and medical personnel. “The program, sustained over the past few years, offers a simple yet meaningful form of support for those experiencing long and often exhausting days inside public health care institutions,” Go said in a statement. This feeding initiative was conducted at San Lorenzo Ruiz General Hospital and Ospital ng Malabon in Malabon City; Navotas City Hospital; Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium in Caloocan City; Valenzuela City Emergency Hospital and Valenzuela Medical Center; East Avenue Medical Center; and Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City. In the Visayas, the program was extended to Cebu City Medical Center and Leyte Provincial Hospital and Palo Schistosomiasis Hospital, both in Palo, Leyte. It demonstrated the initiative’s continued reach beyond major urban centers, the senator said. Go said that “while modest in scale, these feeding efforts have made a difference to many who spend long hours at hospitals — whether seeking treatment or accompanying loved ones.” Many of the facilities visited also had Malasakit Centers, which consolidate key government medical assistance services in one location to simplify the process for indigent patients.
