If elected, Go plans to prioritize 10M ‘poorest of the poor’

If elected president, Senator Bong Go said he plans to target 10 million Filipinos among the “poorest of the poor” in the country and prioritize their economic recovery to provide a “more comfortable life for all.”

The senator vowed to put much attention on the pursuit for a speedy and inclusive economic recovery for the country, promising to strive tirelessly to restore the economy’s robustness as his main priority in his first 100 days.

“To do so, we must first help the 10 million Filipinos who are the poorest of the poor and provide them with the financial assistance they require, including easy-to-access, low-interest loans as well as job opportunities,” Go said.

“At the same time, we must strive for at least one college graduate in every family,” he added.

Go also urged the government to fast-track the vaccination program and ensure that every corner of the country is provided with sufficient vaccines to reach population protection and eventually herd immunity.

He noted that he “has continuously recommended” the provision of cash incentives for members of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program to help improve the vaccination rate among the poorest of the poor.

Go noted that many small businesses have suffered losses as a result of the pandemic.

To assist them, he pledged to increase the number of Negosyo Centers established nationwide and expand the Pondo sa Pagbabago at Pag-asenso program to provide accessible microfinancing schemes to boost small businesses.
