The simultaneous launch of the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair in various parts of the country will give Filipinos “new hope and new beginnings,” President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said on Saturday.
“This program is just one of the first initiatives of the government to give Filipinos new hope and a new beginning. Our islands may be detached from one another, but we are united by one spirit and one dream – a new Philippines for the new Filipino,” the President said as he led the launch of the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair at the Camarines Sur Polytechnic College Gymnasium in Nabua, Camarines Sur.
“We gathered various government agencies to deliver services that would improve your lives.”
During the launch, the government also provided assistance to farmers, fisherfolk, senior citizens, and sick Filipinos.
Marcos pledged that his administration would continue improving its services and attend to the needs of all Filipinos.
“We have one goal – to promote a new Philippines that we can proudly pass on to our children and the future generations,” he said.
“With your help, we can overcome any challenges in life. So long as we are united, there is no trial or difficulty we cannot handle.”
The two-day caravan was held simultaneously in Monkayo, Davao de Oro led by Vice President Sara Duterte; the Visayas State University in Tolosa, Leyte led by House of Representatives Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez; and the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) in Laoag, Ilocos Norte led by 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos III.
In Camarines Sur, the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair hosts 75 programs and services from 29 government agencies, including social services, livelihood and educational services, and other regulatory functions that would benefit 120,000 residents.
The fair also holds a Kadiwa Caravan featuring farm goods produced by the province.
The Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair is intended to be replicated in every province to speed up the delivery of government services to the countryside.
The fair is one of several flagship programs and projects launched under the all-inclusive “Bagong Pilipinas” brand of governance and leadership campaign, highlighting the Marcos administration’s commitment toward the attainment of comprehensive policy reforms and full economic recovery.
