BACOLOD CITY -- Former special assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go has found a supporter in Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr.
Marañon, in an interview on Tuesday, said he is endorsing Go’s senatorial bid along with three reelectionists in the May 13 polls.
“Bong Go. He can really help us since President Rodrigo Duterte still has three years left. He’s close to the President so he can tell the President our problems,” the governor said in their vernacular.
Aside from Go, Marañon said he is also supporting incumbent Senators Grace Poe, Cynthia Villar, and Juan Edgardo Angara as well as former presidential candidate Manuel Roxas II, who traces his roots in Negros Occidental.
In September last year, Go opened the Malasakit Center at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in this city.
Go also has the support of Silay City Mayor Mark Golez, whom he thanked for the fair implementation of laws and ordinances that resulted in the removal of a tarpaulin bearing his name at the city plaza last December.
The President’s former aide then said he had no idea who displayed the tarpaulin which read, “Maligayang Pasko from SAP Bong Go”, but later learned that the mayor put it up in his (Golez’s) private property to express his support. (PNA)
