"Lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa mga bumubuo ng Lingkod Bayan Awards sa pagkilala at pagbibigay sa akin ng karangalang “Natatanging Senador na Naglilingkod sa Tao at sa Bayan.” Isang malaking karangalan ang mapabilang sa mga indibidwal na kinikilala hindi para sa sarili, kundi para sa patuloy na paglilingkod sa kapwa Pilipino."
Go added that the award further motivates him to continue serving the public.
“Ang parangal na ito ay nagsisilbing inspirasyon ko upang ipagpatuloy ang malasakit at tapat na serbisyo sa bayan. With or without an award, mananatili akong nagseserbisyo sa ating mga kababayan sa abot ng aking makakaya dahil ‘yan na ang aking bisyo - ang magserbisyo.”
Go also acknowledged his fellow awardees.
“Ang bawat isa sa inyo ay patunay na buhay ang diwa ng tunay na paglilingkod-bayan at malasakit sa kapwa.”
He concluded by calling for unity and compassion in public service.
“Naway magpatuloy pa ang sama-samang paglilingkod at malasakit para sa mas maayos at mas makataong kinabukasan ng ating bayan.”
