In his message, Go said: “Sa kakaikot ko sa bansa, nakita ko kung gaano kahalaga ang pagbibigay ng trabaho sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa mga walang-wala, iyung mga hopeless at mga helpless.”
Go added, “Mahirap po ang panahon ngayon, marami pang apektado ng iba’t ibang krisis na hindi pa nakakabalik sa trabaho. Palakpakan natin ang ating DOLE sa programang ito.”
The Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program of the Department of Labor and Employment's (DOLE) provides temporary employment opportunities to displaced workers: “Sa pamamagitan ng programang ito, ang gobyerno ay tumutulong sa mga manggagawang naapektuhan ng krisis at nakakapagbigay ng pansamantalang trabaho sa kanila,” Go explained.
The 106 beneficiaries received shirts, pens and fans from Go’s team, while others got balls, a pair of shoes and a watch.
To promote the welfare of Filipino workers affected by crises and ensure that those who reside in rural areas lacking job opportunities are taken care of, Go filed Senate Bill No. 177. Under the proposed legislation, the Rural Employment Assistance Program (REAP) would be established to provide temporary employment options to individuals who qualify based on criteria such as economic hardship, poverty, displacement, or seasonal employment.
To ease the financial burden on Filipino families, Senator Go also co-authored and co-sponsored SBN 2534, which aims to raise the daily minimum wage by PhP100 nationwide.
“Bawat tulong na naibibigay natin ay isang hakbang papalapit sa mas maliwanag na kinabukasan para sa ating mga kababayan. Bisyo ko ang magserbisyo, kaya’t tuloy-tuloy po ang ating pagtulong sa abot ng makakaya,” Go concluded.
