Presidential aspirant Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go on Monday vowed to continue efforts towards pandemic recovery, solidifying the Duterte legacy and protecting the future of the nation.
He also reminded his fellow candidates to “take into heart” the reason why they chose to seek public office —to provide genuine public service to the people.
“There is nothing greater than serving our fellow Filipinos with utmost sincerity and loyalty,” he said.
“When the dust settles and after all has been said and done, what is important is that the Filipino people should eventually be the winner in this exercise of democracy,” he added.
On Nov. 13, Go substituted for Grepor Belgica and filed his candidacy as the standard-bearer of the Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan for the presidency in the 2022 polls.
He was personally accompanied by President Rodrigo Duterte in the Commission on Elections main office in Intramuros, Manila.
He said the challenge is to “save the legacy of President Duterte, pursue further the positive change we have started, and protect the future of our people.”
“The Duterte Administration has made many significant milestones that have benefitted our nation: from his decisive leadership, to the projects that commenced and completed under his watch, to the many programs that have improved the lives especially of those who need our help the most — the poor, the needy, the hopeless, and the helpless —all of them being our priority in our endeavors in public service,” added Go.
Central to his candidacy, Go said, are the principles of continuity, compassion or “malasakit,” and genuine service that Duterte has taught him for more than two decades of working with him.
