Go said there are currently 50 Malasakit Centers nationwide, adding that the establishment of the one-stop shops would aid the long queues that those seeking assistance have to go through in different government agencies.

The approval of the bill on third reading came after the adoption of the amendments proposed by Senator Risa Hontiveros and Senator Franklin Drilon.
