Bong Go joins ‘Bring Him Home’ Christmas outreachMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Bong Go joined the “Bring Him Home: A Christmas Outreach – Isang Paskong May Pag-asa, Isang Paskong May Panalangin” held last Friday in Davao City, lending his presence to a holiday activity centered on prayer, solidarity and assistance for children battling cancer. The Christmas outreach, organized in a tradition long associated with former president Rodrigo Duterte, brought together caregivers, volunteers and young patients for a simple gathering that combined gift-giving with quiet reflection. Go participated in the distribution of assistance to pediatric cancer patients, echoing a practice he learned from his mentor and has consistently supported in various charity and hospital-based activities as a public servant. He added that the gathering was not only about expressing political support but about remembering those who continue to struggle with illness, particularly children undergoing cancer treatment. Through the years, the former chairman of the Senate committee on health has consistently advocated for increased funding for the Cancer Assistance Fund, highlighting its vital role in easing the financial burdens faced by patients and families.
