Senator Christopher “Bong” Go thanked the public for the support and opportunity to engage with communities throughout the campaign period, saying he remains committed to his mission of public service as the elections draw near.

Go, who has consistently ranked high in recent senatorial surveys, expressed his gratitude for the chance to visit various communities in recent weeks, adding that it allowed him to hear firsthand the concerns of Filipinos across the country.

“Ang mahalaga, makapagserbisyo. Sipag, malasakit, at more serbisyo po ang maiaalay ko sa kapwa nating Pilipino,” Go said, reaffirming his commitment to pro-poor legislation and accessible healthcare.

The senator is seeking another term to continue his legislative agenda, particularly measures that promote health reforms, food security, job generation, and support for youth and sports development.

“Alam kong marami pa tayong kailangang gawin, lalo na sa mga malalayong lugar sa bansa. Kaya kung papalarin tayong makabalik sa Senado, asahan ninyo na mas palalawakin pa natin ang mga programang nakatutok sa kalusugan at kabuhayan,” he added.

Go played a key role in the passage of Republic Act No. 11463 or the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019, which aims to bring government medical assistance closer to indigent patients. He said he wants to ensure these centers remain fully funded and accessible.

With a few days left before the elections, Go also extended good wishes to his fellow candidates, especially those aligned with the DuterTEN alliance.

“Good luck sa ating lahat. Sana’y maganda ang kalabasan ng halalan at magkaisa tayong lahat pagkatapos nito. Sa huli, ang importante ay ang kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino,” he said.

“Hinding-hindi ko po sasayangin yung pagkakataong ibinigay nyo po sa akin. Magtatrabaho po ako para sa Pilipino. At iyan po ang pwede kong i-alay sa inyo, ang aking bisyo sa pagseserbisyo,” Go added.
