President Marcos Jr.'s “Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair” received a satisfaction rating of 90 percent from the attendees, proving that it benefits Filipinos who seek to access government resources, the RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD) said on Wednesday, Sept. 27.

The fair was held on Sept. 23 and 24, across four provinces—Ilocos Norte, Camarines Sur, Leyte, and Davao de Oro.
“The culmination of our rigorous evaluation spotlighted an exceptional satisfaction rate of 90 percent among attendees, a testament to the event's efficacious design and aptitude in addressing its beneficiaries' diverse needs,” the group said in a statement.
With that “palpable success,” the RPMD suggested to the President to “amplify” and “allocate more resources” to the initiative so it can reach “a broader spectrum of Filipinos.”
The Serbisyo Fair, according to the group, emerged as a “paragon” where about 40 government agencies’ services can be delivered “promptly and proficiently.”
In Camarines Sur, it hosted 75 programs and services from 29 government agencies with targeted 120,000 local beneficiaries.
The fair also introduced a Kadiwa Caravan that featured locally produced farm goods from the province.
Dr. Paul Martinez of RPMD “accentuated the unwavering commitment to participant welfare, ensuring that none were left unattended or unfed,” the statement said.
The head of the RPMD also lauded Marcos for his vision of proactively delivering essential government services to underserved Filipinos nationwide.
The Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair National Secretariat incorporates the Office of the President (OP), Office of House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), the House of Representatives, and 40 national government agencies.
RPMD sourced its opinion from conducting interviews with over 1,000 attendees after independently stationing teams in each province where the fair was held.
