What it means to be ‘Tatak Duterte’

-

SINCE the time Christophe­r “Bong” Rodrigo Duterte some 20 years ago, he has never left his side. He is quite literally the President’s most trusted

Go [a graduate of Management from De La Salle University] has been driver, messenger, aidede-camp and everything else in between for Mr. Duterte, and along the way, he has had to put his boss ahead of his personal and his family’s needs.

Now, as Go prepares to enter a new chapter in his life in public service, he once again draws inspiratio­n and strength from his long-time mentor and friend.

“Tatak Duterte” — by this he shall be known and on this, his fate lies. But he is more than just a mirror image of the President, he is also the bridge — the logical continuati­on of the Duterte programs and policies into the future. In a sense the country’s insurance policy that the many positive changes experi- enced today will not end in 2022, but will continue until every last Filipino will have the better life that the President and Bong Go have promised.
