Go, PGH launch Balay Lingap house
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, alongside UP-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) officials, inaugurated the "Balay Lingap" halfway house aimed at providing temporary shelter for patients and their companions.
This new facility will offer accommodation for outpatients and caregivers on its third and fourth floors, a patients' lounge on the second floor, and a 24/7 hospice and palliative care unit for terminally ill patients on the ground floor.
The concept for halfway houses originated in Davao City during former Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's administration, serving as a national model to assist families facing the emotional and financial burdens of illness.
Senator Go has actively supported healthcare infrastructure and welfare programs, including advocating for legislation that increases UP-PGH's bed capacity.
