Senator Christopher “Bong” Go on Saturday expressed anew his support for the investigations into alleged irregularities in public infrastructure projects, emphasizing that accountability must prevail regardless of one’s connections or family ties.

Go earlier addressed allegations that his family was involved in anomalous government construction projects. He firmly denied any involvement or influence, clarifying that his father, a former private contractor, had long exited the industry.

Go was emphatic in distancing himself from any business dealings involving his relatives, reiterating that he has never used his public office for personal or familial gain.

‘Simply doing my job’

“Hindi po ako negosyante. Hindi ako contractor. Trabaho lang po ako bilang senador (I am not a businessman. I am not a contractor. I am simply doing my job as a senator),” he asserted. “I did not use my position to give any favor to my relative.”

The senator said he is willing to cooperate fully with any official inquiry and, if necessary, file charges himself should evidence of wrongdoing surface — even against his own relatives.

“If they are guilty, I myself will file the case. I will be the complainant,” Go said. “If there are lapses or anomalies, hold them accountable.”

He added that while no one can choose their family, the law must be applied equally.

“If I could choose my relatives, I would have replaced them already,” he said. “But no matter who they are, if they are guilty, file charges against them.”

Go concluded his statement with an appeal for transparency and a fair investigation.

“What matters is that we get to the truth. Don’t divert the issue, don’t deceive the Filipino people,” he said.
