MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go on Thursday urged Boracay residents to avail of the government\u2019s \u201ccash-for-work” program.<\/p>\n

Go made this call after learning that only 10,000 of the 23,000 residents affected by the ongoing six-month rehabilitation of Boracay Island have applied for the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I know is that there about 23,000 (residents). So we would like to call on the remaining 13,000 that you can avail of the program and the work there,\u201d Go told Cesar Chavez in an interview for \u201cDamdaming Bayan\u201d aired over dzRH.<\/p>\n

Go commended an inter-agency task force headed by Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu for a job well done in the first two months of the rehabilitation work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found the shoreline is very clean now. The narrow roads have been widened and the people there are really participating in the clean-up drive,\u201d said Go, who recently visited Boracay.<\/p>\n

The top aide of President Rodrigo Duterte also called on local leaders and residents to unite in clearing the islands of illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard that there a lot of illegal drugs there. The anti-drug campaign of the President is very important, especially in Boracay,\u201d Go said.
\nHe encouraged the local government leaders, particularly barangay officials and local police, to lead the anti-drug campaign in the island.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to clean not only the environment but also the people there. They should help in our campaign against illegal drugs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Go said he expects Duterte to highlight the government\u2019s campaign against illegal drugs, as well as criminality and corruption in his third State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) on July 23.<\/p>\n

Although Duterte said he will read his speech in not more than 35 minutes, Go said the President \u201cwill make the most of his time, stressing on really pressing matters and concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps what the people want to hear is not only the accomplishments in the past two years but how government will address the inflation problem and other concerns,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Contrary to recent surveys that showed a decline in Duterte\u2019s net satisfaction rating, Go said the people have begun to feel the benefits of the government campaign against illegal drugs, criminality and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think majority (of the Filipino people) still believe in him. Because, for me, the Filipinos can determine if there are really changes happening right in their communities and their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
