Bong Go celebrates birthday with Davao communities

June 15, 2019 by NewsLine Philippines

DAVAO CITY (June 15)— Senator-elect Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go spent his birthday today with his fellow Dabawenyos as he visited three districts in the city to extend his sincerest gratitude for their support to the Duterte administration.

“Gusto ko ibalik sa tao itong blessing na ibinigay sa akin. Pasasalamat na rin sa mga taga Davao na sumuporta sa amin ni Pangulong Duterte,” Go said.

“Hindi po talaga ako nagpaparty sa nakaraang dalawampu’t isang taon, kagaya ni Pangulong Duterte. Nandito po ako para mamahagi ng pagkain para may mauwi sila sa kanilang mga bahay,” he added.

Part of his simple celebration was giving of gifts as a sign of gratitude to the orphans and indigenous people of Davao City. He also took time to visit the city jail to provide food packs for the inmates.

“Pinuntahan natin ang street children dahil gusto ko makakain sila. ‘Yung City Jail din dahil para sa akin kahit nakakulong sila ay Filipino pa rin sila. Gusto ko sila mabigyan ng pagkakataon para magbagong buhay. Ako kahit meryenda man lang maibahagi ko sa kanila dahil gusto ko maibahagi ang aking mga biyaya,” Go stated.

When asked for his birthday wish, Go desired a healthy life to be able to continue giving his service to the people.

“Wala akong ibang birthday wish kundi sana mabigyan kami ni Pangulong Duterte ng mabuting pangangatawan para makapagbserbisyo pa kami ng husto sa kapwa naming Pilipino,” he said. 

“Alam nyo naman na almusal, tanghalian at hapunan ko ang pagseserbisyo sa tao. Serbisyo, serbisyo, serbisyong tapat, makatao at maka Diyos. Iyan ang wish ko na patuloy makapagserbisyo sa inyo,” he added. 

On the other hand, in an ambush interview, Go shared about his eyed committee assignment in the Senate, saying “Kung mabibigyan sana ako ng pagkakataon ng aking mga kasamahan sa Senado, gusto ko sanang maging bahagi ng Committee on Health and Committee on Urban Planning, Housing and Resettlement.”

“Isa talaga sa top priority ko ang mas lalong pagpapabuti ng medical and health care services sa bansa. Nauuna na talaga dyan ang mungkahi kong magkaroon ng mga Malasakit Center sa bawat lalawigan at malalaking lungsod. Meron na tayong 34 na Malasakit Centers sa buong bansa. Ang Malasakit Center ay isang experimental initiative ng Office of the President.  Nais ko sanang maisabatas ito para ma-institutionalize kahit tapos na ang termino ni Pangulong Duterte,” Go added. 

The senator also shared his plans to address the housing problems in the country as he emphasized that every Filipino family deserves to have a safe and affordable home. 

“Kailangan din nating matugunan ang 6.5-million housing gap within 20 years.  Meron nang Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development na naitatag noong Pebrero 2019 (Republic Act No. 11201).  Ngayon, pag-aaralan natin kung ano pang batas ang kailangan upang makakatugon sa housing gap para sa ating mga kababayan. Ang aking layunin ay dapat walang squatter sa sariling bayan.”

He also said that in his 21 years of experience in public service along with President Duterte, he is now ready to continue his people-centered and service-oriented advocacies in the Senate.

“21 years na po akong naghanda sa trabahong ito. Sa mahabang panahon na nagserbisyo ako kay Pangulong Duterte, natutunan ko ang tunay na kahulugan ng serbisyong publiko na Tatak Duterte. Sa ngayon, tuloy ako sa paglilibot. Kahit noong kampanya, hindi lang ‘yun para mangampanya. Pagseserbisyo rin ‘yun. Mahalaga na makahalubilo natin ang mga kababayan natin, malaman ang kanilang mga hinaing,” he added.

Go also gave message to his fellow Dabawenyos saying, “Kagaya nga ng sinabi ko noon sa inyo na huwag kayong mahiyang lumapit sa akin, huwag n’yo akong tratuhin na senador dahil iisa lang tayo at para sakin ay trabahante lang ako ng gobyerno na magsisilbi sa inyo.”
