Go underlined Republic Act No. 11589, or the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Modernization Act of 2021, which Go also principally authored and co-sponsored. He cited the law as instrumental in improving the capability of fire personnel to respond to emergencies.
This Act mandates a comprehensive ten-year modernization plan to equip the bureau with advanced capabilities for fire response through increased firefighter recruitment, acquisition of modern fire equipment, and specialized training.
Complementing this measure is RA 12076, known as the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act. Signed on December 6, 2024, this law mandates the establishment of permanent, safe, and well-equipped evacuation centers across all cities and municipalities in the country. As the principal author and co-sponsor of the legislation, Senator Go emphasized how these centers will safeguard the dignity and well-being of disaster-affected communities while accelerating recovery efforts.
“Ang lagi ko nang sinasabi, ang gamit ay mabibili natin ‘yan, ang pera, kikitain niyo ‘yan kung magsumikap lang tayo pero ang perang kikitain ay hindi mabibili ang buhay. A lost life is a lost life forever. Importante buhay tayo at kilala po ang mga Pilipino sa pagtutulungan,” Senator Go said.
During the distribution activity held at the Brgy. Punta Dumalag III covered court, a total of 43 families received financial assistance, water containers, grocery packs, shirts, and fans from Go's team in coordination with Punta Dumalag Barangay Chairman Nestor Cirunay. Others also received watches, shirts, jackets, balls, and shoes.
"Patuloy kaming magseserbisyo sa inyo dahil bisyo ko ang magserbisyo at ako ay naniniwala na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo ‘yan sa Panginoon,” Go concluded.
