Go urges supporters to help fire victims instead

BATANGAS CITY - Former Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher ‘Bong’ Go is appealing to his supporters to donate plywood and other building materials to fire vicitms rather than producing billboards or tarpulins bearing his photo and Christmas message.

“Nananawagan po ako sa mga supporter ko na huwag na lang po kayo maglagay ng tarpaulin o billboard, ibili na lang ng plywoods sa mga nasunugan (I appeal to my supporters to donate building materials to fire victims rather than puting up billboards and streamers), Go said in an interview with the local media.

Go issued the appeal after it was reported that the city government of Silay took down a tarpaulin with his photo and Christmas greeting for violating a city ordinance.

“Sa totoo lang di ko alam yun, ok lang sa akin huwag na ilagay ang litrato ko, pero di naman po maiwasan ng mga supporters ni Pangulong Duterte na gusto nilang sumuporta sa akin, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako pero sana po sumunod tayo sa batas, wala po exemption (Honestly I have no knowledge of the incident. There is no need to post a tarpulin with my photos but some supporters of President Duterte want to support me and I am grateful for that, however, they should follow the law, no exemption),” Go added.

Go graced the Interbarangay MiniOlympics hosted by Deputy Speaker and Batangas 2nd District Representative Raneo Abu at the Batangas City Sports Coliseum.
