Senator Christopher “Bong” Go thanked National Artist Nora Aunor for her Facebook post commending his public service and compassion for Filipinos.

In her post, Aunor shared her personal experience with Go’s "malasakit" (compassion), recalling his support when she received her National Artist Award at Malacañang Palace. She praised Go for his humility and dedication, highlighting his work with the Malasakit Center.

“SEN. BONG GO ang MR. MALASAKIT NG SENADO—Personal ko pong naranasan kung paano magmalasakit ang isang Sen. Bong Go. Panahon ng nagpunta po ako ng Malacañang para personal na tanggapin ang aking National Artist Award at pasalamatan si former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Hindi po iyon ang naging huli bagkus iyon po ang naging simula upang patuloy ko pong maranasan ang kanyang tunay na malasakit,” wrote Aunor.
(SEN. BONG GO is the MR. MALASAKIT OF THE SENATE— I personally experienced how Senator Bong Go shows compassion. It was when I went to Malacañang to personally receive my National Artist Award and thank former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. That was not the last, but the beginning of continuously experiencing his true compassion.)

“Sino po ba si SEN. BONG GO? Isa po siyang tahimik at mahiyaing tao. Ayaw po n’yang ipagmalaki ang marami n’yang nagawa para sa milyong Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng MALASAKIT CENTER. Trabaho lang po nang trabaho yang si Sen. Bong.”
(Who is SEN. BONG GO? He is a quiet and shy person. He doesn’t want to boast about the many things he has done for millions of Filipinos through the MALASAKIT CENTER. Senator Bong just works and works.)

The post ended with Aunor saying, “Siya po ang taong walang pinipiling lugar, walang pinipiling oras at lalong walang pinipiling katayuan sa buhay ng isang tao. Lahat po ng PILIPINO para sa kanya ay MAHALAGA. Isa siyang tunay na tao na kung magserbisyo ay personal, harapan hindi po para makita lang sa facebook o TV. Hindi po pilit at higit po sa lahat ay SERBISYONG MAY MALASAKIT. Iyan po si Kuya Sen. Bong Go. Muli po nating ibalik sa Senado ang ating MR. MALASAKIT NG SENADO - BONG GO.”
(He is someone who does not choose a place, does not choose a time, and certainly does not choose a person’s status in life. To him, all FILIPINOS are IMPORTANT. He is a real person who serves personally, face-to-face, not just to be seen on Facebook or TV. His service is not forced, and above all, it is SERVICE WITH COMPASSION. That is Kuya Sen. Bong Go. Let us return our MR. MALASAKIT OF THE SENATE - BONG GO to the Senate.)

Go expressed gratitude for Aunor’s words, calling them a source of inspiration. He reaffirmed his commitment to public service, particularly through healthcare and sports development initiatives.

“As Chairman of the Senate Committees on Health and Sports, I will continue to push for programs that help improve the lives of Filipinos,” Go said. He also emphasized the importance of sports in promoting a healthy lifestyle, urging Filipinos to "Get into sports, stay away from drugs."

Go concluded his statement, saying he would continue to serve the Filipino people across the country.
