On his visit to Pangasinan Friday, former Special Assistant to the President (SAP) and aspiring senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go assured Pangasinenses he would create programs in education and sports development to develop the young generation to become productive citizens of the country.

“Rest assured that the youth will have priority in terms of education, if ever we get elected,” Go said in a speech in Dagupan City to grace the 50th founding anniversary of the Lyceum Northwestern University. Go is an adopted son of the province via a resolution passed by Pangasinan’s Sangguniang Panlalawigan and approved by Governor Amado Espino III on 18 December 2018.

Go spoke about the programs he has in store for education. He mentioned that a new government agency which focuses on private schools must be established to uplift the quality of education provided by such institutions.

The former SAP said that he would support the Duterte administration in providing increases to the salaries of teachers and other education professionals.

He also spoke about how honored he felt in being invited to attend the 50th founding anniversary of Lyceum Northwestern University.

“As an adopted son of Pangasinan, expect my support for Lyceum Northwestern University,” he added.

Go reiterated his support to the administration’s fight against illegal drugs, corruption and criminality. He added that President Duterte is leading this fight to provide a better future for the next generation.

He said that he plans to institutionalize youth and sports development centers in every locality so that kids can be taught values of discipline, sportsmanship and hardwork in order for them to be productive citizens.

Go reminded the students to take part in various service-oriented activities that could contribute to their respective communities. He said that acts of service should start at a young age and that youth participation is important in nation building.
