This compassionate gesture highlights the Senator's unwavering commitment to serving the Filipino people, particularly the most vulnerable.
Instead of a grand birthday party, Senator Go opted for a more meaningful way to commemorate the occasion – bringing smiles and hope to children facing challenging medical journeys. He personally interacted with the patients, offering words of encouragement and support, and distributing gifts to brighten their spirits.
“It is always a privilege to spend my birthday with these brave and resilient young warriors,” Senator Go shared. “Their strength and positivity inspire me to work even harder to serve our country and ensure that they receive the best possible healthcare and support.”

During his visit, Senator Go also emphasized the importance of early detection and access to quality healthcare for children with cancer. He reiterated his support for initiatives that aim to improve the country’s healthcare infrastructure and provide financial assistance to families struggling to afford medical expenses.
“We need to ensure that no child is denied access to life-saving treatment due to financial constraints,” Senator Go stated. “I will continue to advocate for policies and programs that will strengthen our healthcare system and provide comprehensive support to patients and their families.”
The Philippine Children’s Medical Center is a leading tertiary hospital specializing in pediatric care. It provides a wide range of medical services to children from all over the country. Senator Go's visit served as a reminder of the importance of compassion and solidarity, especially during times of adversity.
Beyond this visit, Senator Go remains actively involved in various legislative efforts aimed at improving the lives of Filipinos, especially children. His dedication to public service and his genuine concern for the well-being of others continue to inspire and uplift the nation.
