- By Karina V. Canedo

DAVAO CITY Mayor Sara Z. Duterte-Carpio said that Special Assistant to President Christophe­r Lawrence "Bong" Go is worth recommendi­ng as Senator because of his work in Davao and his loyalty to serve President Rodrigo R. Duterte.

"Actually I do not know of his plans but I was asked if I will endorse him and I said yes of course because I know his work, I know with his experience with his work with President Rodrigo Duterte

and because he is from Davao," the mayor said.

She said that she will support Dabawenyos who wants to help the Duterte Administra­tion.

Go, in a news report from ABS-CBN, said that he was humbled by the endorsemen­t.

“The Dutertes, the father, the daughter are my inspiratio­n and the example of being a true public servant. Kahit maaga pa po pag-usapan ang politika, ni 'di ko pa po naisip ang tumakbo ngunit sa mga salitang binitawan ng ating Mayora Inday Sara, ngayon pa lang nakakataba na ng puso at nakakawala ng pagod," Go said.

He also said that it is too early to talk about politics and his utmost priority now is to work hard under President Rodrigo Duterte and the Philippine­s.

Based on the same report, Go said that the talks on running for a senatorial seat started as a joke of President Duterte who said he did a "sterling performanc­e in the senate". Go said this is after the senate hearing where he was called to answer on an alleged frigate deal.

Meanwhile, the city mayor said that she currently does not know of any senatorial line up yet.

She also did not give a final answer on whether or not she will run in the senatorial race.

"It is very fluid yes, kanang tanan always God's will and God's time, if gisulat na sa Ginoo mahitabo jud na (It is very fluid, all of it is always God's will, if its written then it will really happen)," she said. KVC
