Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go has urged his critics to stop spreading false claims and focus on helping fellow Filipinos, after both the Ayala Alabang Village Association (AAVA) and Barangay Ayala Alabang (BAA) confirmed that he does not own property in the exclusive subdivision.

In a letter to Go’s office, AAVA manager Emmanuel Adizon stated: “A search of the association’s database and records was made, and it appears there is no property in the village registered under the name of a certain Christopher Lawrence Go.” Similarly, BAA secretary Robert Reyes wrote, “We have no record showing that Senator Go owns any property here. Any construction or property acquisition in this area goes through both the barangay and the AAVA.”

These statements refuted social media posts and allegations by former senator Antonio Trillanes IV claiming that Go owned property and resided in Ayala Alabang.

Trillanes had alleged that Go’s supposed properties were not listed in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) — an allegation repeatedly raised since 2018 and revived this year.

Go responded with a mix of humor and seriousness.

“It’s embarrassing to the real owner of that house. If they still want to insist it’s mine, then go ahead, prove it and you can have it,” he said.

He called for a shift in focus toward helping others: “During times like this, when our country faces many challenges, we should stop the fighting and focus on helping our fellow Filipinos.”

His office also highlighted the senator’s popularity in the 2025 elections: “Millions of Filipinos never believed those lies. More than 27 million voted for Senator Bong Go because of his compassion and genuine public service.”

Beyond politics, Go has been actively involved in disaster relief.

On Thursday, he visited Talisay City and Barangay Bacayan in Cebu City to distribute cash assistance, food packs and medicines. At least 700 evacuees in Talisay and more than 300 in Cebu City received aid.

During his visits, Go reiterated his call for a dedicated Disaster Department.

“We need a Disaster Department. The P26 billion allocated for flood control projects could have been spent on evacuation centers instead,” he said, emphasizing the need to prioritize disaster preparedness over large-scale infrastructure projects that do not directly address immediate needs.

Despite the controversies and online criticism, Go said he remains focused on serving the public.

“Let’s prioritize service over politics. Show compassion, help those in need, and don’t waste time on fake news,” he said.
