Yap spearheads Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair Caravan in Benguet
In a bid to extend vital government services directly to the people of Benguet and surrounding communities, more than 50 agencies are gearing up to converge in La Trinidad for the upcoming Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair caravan.
Scheduled for April 21-22, this two-day event promises to bring a multitude of essential services to the doorstep of the locals, marking a significant initiative under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration.
Benguet Congressman Eric Go Yap said the event will play a pivotal role in providing hope and a fresh start for Filipinos by ensuring accessibility to necessary services in the province.
“Good news, we are hosting a historic event in Benguet! First province tayo na napili sa Cordillera to host the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair this coming April 21 to 22, and only the 15th nationwide. It will be a massive event with over 50 agencies na magpaparticipate,” said Yap.
The Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair stands as the country’s largest service caravan, dedicated to delivering major government services to underprivileged Filipinos across diverse communities nationwide.
Among its highlights are flagship programs like Kadiwa ng Pangulo, Passport on Wheels, and Driver’s License registration/assistance.
“I thank our President Bongbong Marcos and our Speaker Martin Romualdez for helping me bring this to Benguet. Handpicked tayo, and we said we’ve been lobbying for this kaya we said yes agad to host this event. It will be a convergence of all government services in one venue, tens of thousands ang makikinabang throughout the province. It is consistent sa advocacy natin na pinaparamdam ang serbisyo sa tao kahit na nasa malalayo. This is big!” Yap added.
The event holds particular significance for Benguet and its neighboring regions, where access to government services may be limited due to geographical constraints.
Through the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair, residents will have the opportunity to avail themselves of crucial services without the need to travel long distances, thereby alleviating the burden on individuals and families.
In addition to government agencies, Congressman Yap has enlisted the support of NLEX for RFID installation services. This partnership aims to streamline travel and enhance efficiency for both travelers and vegetable transporters, further contributing to the region’s development and connectivity.
“Historic din sya kasi this will be the first time na may private sector na mag-participate. We approached the NLEX group para magkaroon sila ng installation ng RFIDs nila, para yung mga bumabyahe natin na trucks and other vehicles, hindi na kailangan pumila sa cash lanes when using the expressway. This is the something new compared sa previous BPSF sa ibang provinces,” added the solon.
Yap added several programs and surprises will be up for grabs for those who will avail of the different services.
“Hindi dapat ma-miss ito, there will be massive payouts of cash assistance for pre-identified beneficiaries na binaba natin sa ground ang identification. There will be government services, may food, may mga raffle items sa mga mag-avail ng services. Plus, kumuha po ako ng A-class artists to perform sa ating concert, big names,”
Yap added with its emphasis on service, inclusivity, and empowerment, the BPSF promises to be a transformative experience for all who attend.
“We are inviting everyone to mark their calendars, for April 21-22 in BSU. I’m confident there will be something for everybody. Meron at merong serbisyong mapapakinabangan na makikita,’ Yap closed. ###
