Go: No decision yet on Senate bid

SPECIAL Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go still has to decide whether he will run for senator in the 2019 mid-term elections.

In a phone patch interview during the Launching of the Bayan for Bong Go (B4BG) Movement on Monday at Grand Regal Hotel in Davao City, Go thanked all his supporters but said that he still needs to focus first on his tasks as a special assistant to President Rodrigo Duterte.

“Bigyan ninyo po ako ng kaunting panahon. Marami pa akong gagawin na trabaho. Sana maintindihan ninyo. Pero pagdating ng panahon, mag-di-decide po ako,” Go said.

Go said he is hoping that by the time he decides whether he will run for senator in 2019 or not, his supporters are still there. He also thanked them for their endless support to Duterte.

The assistant to the president was not able to join the event because he is with Duterte in China.

Over 1,000 supporters from various national and local government agencies attended the launching of the B4BG and urged Go to run for senator in the upcoming mid-term elections.

The B4BG is a “grass-

roots volunteer organization” which aims to convince Go to run for a senate post. It is spearheaded by barangay leaderships.

Barangay leaderships believes that by being a powerful and loyal ally to the president, Go could definitely help bring development and progress to the 42,000 strong barangays in the Philippines.

Assist. Secretary for Presidential Communications Office and founder of the 1Barangay Loukee Avila, in an interview, said Go will definitely push for the implementation and success of the plans and programs of Duterte for the country. ICT For full story visit www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/
