MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Liong Tek Go Family Association gave PHP7 million cash donation for the reconstruction of school buildings destroyed during the armed conflict in Marawi City.<\/p>\n

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte witnessed the signing of the Deed of Donation between Tiong Rosario and Department of Education Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla in Malaca\u00f1an Palace on Tuesday, December, 12.<\/p>\n

The Go families originated in Shanxi Province in China with some members eventually settling and establishing their businesses in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

The Liong Tek Go Family Association was established in the Philippines to keep track of its members after the clan grew substantially.<\/p>\n

It was initially founded as a social club to keep the family members in touch with each other and through the years slowly evolved to become not only a social club but also a charitable institution.<\/p>\n

It also provides educational, medical and financial assistance to needy members of the Go family.<\/p>\n

As the family continued to grow and spread throughout the country, the association established provincial chapters after World War II, initially in Leyte and then later in Cebu.<\/p>\n

Similar associations were founded in Zamboanga, Davao City, Cagayan De Oro, Iloilo, Surigao, Bacolod as well as Central and Northern Luzon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
