Bong Go files candidacy for vice presidency

By Pearl Gumapos

Sen. Bong Go on Saturday (Oct. 2) filed his candidacy for the position of vice president in the 2022 national elections at the Sofitel Manila Hotel.

Go has attained 7% support as a vice presidential candidate according to a September Pulse Asia survey.

“Napag-desisyon kong tumakbo bilang bise presidente sa darating na halalan upang maipagpatuloy ang mga magagandang programa at tunay na pagbabagong inumpisahan ni Pangulong Duterte. Sisikapin natin dagdagan pa ang mga ito,” Go said.

Among Go’s plans is to continue the fight against illegal drugs, corruption, and criminality in the country.

He also aims to help the economy recover from the pandemic.

“Walang tigil dapat ang kampanya natin kontra iligal na droga, korapsyon, at kriminalidad. Hindi dapat masayang ang mga nasimulang ito kung kaya’t sa susunod na anim na taon ay sisikapin natin ma-proteksyunan ang buhay at kinabukasan ng ating mga anak.”

“Ang ganda na sana ang takbo ng ating ekonomiya at ng administrasyong Duterte kung hindi lang tayo tinamaan ng krisis. Sisikapin nating maibalik sa normal ang ating pamumuhay at muling maiahon mula sa hirap ang ating mga kababayan,” he added.

Go said he will continue, as well, the Build, Build, Build projects that were started during the Duterte administration in order to ensure a more comfortable and peaceful life for Filipinos.

“I intend to pursue and expand these efforts further towards overcoming this pandemic by achieving economic recovery, providing job opportunities, and addressing hunger and poverty. Sisiguraduhin nating walang maiiwan sa ating muling pagbangon bilang isang mas matatag na bansa,” Go said.

He will continue to serve the poor and is determined to become a bridge between them and the government.

Go says the poor will be his priority.

“I will continue to serve especially those who need government attention the most, iyong mga mahihirap. I am determined to fulfill my role as a bridge for the poor, the needy, the hopeless, and the helpless, connecting them to their government so that their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed during these trying times. Bawa’t buhay po ay pinapahalagahan natin lalo na iyong mga walang ibang matakbuhan. Sila po ang prioridad natin dito. Kapakanan nila ang pinaglalaban dito,” he said.

“I will be a working vice president na gagawin ang lahat ng aking makakaya para makapagsilbi sa inyong lahat. Hindi ako magiging spare tire o reserba lamang. Asahan ninyo na ako ay totoong magtatrabaho hindi lang sa salita kundi sa gawa.” – bny
