Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair in Isabela to bring gov’t services to 100K
MANILA, Philippines — At least 100,000 Filipinos are expected to benefit at the eighth part of the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair (BPSF) in the province of Isabela on Saturday and Sunday.
According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the fair will bring government services as well as cash aid distributions.
“Batid po namin na hindi madali sa marami sa atin, lalo na kayong nakatira sa malalayong lugar, ang pumunta at makahingi ng tulong sa pamahalaan. Kaya nga po, sa Serbisyo Fair na ito, ang pamahalaan na po ang lumalapit sa inyo,” Romualdez said.
(We know that it can be difficult for most of us, especially those who are in far-flung places, to go and ask for help from the government. This is why the Serbisyo Fair, the government will be the one who will come near to you.)
Meanwhile, House Deputy Secretary General Sofonias Gabonada, who is also a member of the BFSF national secretariat, said that P152 million worth of cash aid will be given to the citizens of Isabela.
“Sa Serbisyo Fair, nagsama-sama ang iba’t-ibang mga sangay ng pamahalaan upang maihatid at maipaabot nang mas mabilis ang mahahalagang impormasyon at serbisyo tungo sa ating sama-samang pag-unlad,” Romualdez added.
(At the Serbisyo Fair, the branches of the government come together to bring important information and services so that we can achieve progress.)
