Senate Public Assistance Office (SPAO)
Senate Assist is an online platform launched by the Senate of the Philippines to deliver medical assistance, social assistance, and financial aid. It connects citizens directly with senators’ offices, government agencies, and public health institutions — removing the long travel and delays of in-person requests. Applicants submit and track requests through the official portal, with support covering hospital bills, laboratory tests, medicines, dialysis, chemotherapy, and surgeries, alongside non-medical social aid programs.
Background
Public assistance requests to the Senate traditionally meant travel, queues, and manual paperwork. Senate Assist, run by the Senate Public Assistance Office, brings the process online — giving citizens a single portal to apply for and track medical, social, and financial aid without visiting an office in person.
Services Offered
- Medical Aid: Assistance toward hospital bills, laboratory tests, medicines, dialysis, chemotherapy, and surgeries.
- Social Aid: Non-medical request types and support programs in partnership with public and private sectors.
- Online portal: Requests can be submitted and tracked 24/7 through the official Senate Assist website.
How to Access
Applicants submit requests through the online portal and prepare the required documents: a personal letter to a senator, a medical certificate or clinical abstract, a bill quotation, and a valid ID. The platform then routes the request to the appropriate office for processing. Visit the official portal at assist.senate.gov.ph
