Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, who is running for reelection, received an overwhelming show of support from the people of Misamis Oriental as he joined the grand rally of the Duterte Senatorial Slate or “DuterTEN” on Tuesday, April 14, at El Salvador City Sports Complex in Misamis Oriental where he topped the senatorial race during the 2019 elections.
From a massive motorcade in Cagayan de Oro City to the energized crowd that gathered in El Salvador, Go and the rest of the DuterTEN slate were warmly welcomed by thousands of supporters, further solidifying the enduring trust of Misamisnons in his brand of compassionate public service.
In his remarks, Senator Go expressed deep gratitude to the people of Misamis Oriental for their continued faith in his leadership. “Mula pa noon hanggang ngayon, hindi ko sasayangin ang inyong tiwala. Isa lang ang panata ko: ang magserbisyo sa tao, lalo na sa mga mahihirap,” he said.
He rallied support for the DuterTEN slate — a group of candidates allied with the legacy and principles of former President Rodrigo Duterte — which includes Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, Atty. Jimmy Bondoc, Atty. Jayvee Hinlo, Atty. Raul Lambino, Atty. Vic Rodriguez, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, Dr. Richard Mata, Congressman Rodante Marcoleta, and actor Phillip Salvador.
Go emphasized that the DuterTEN team shares a common mission: to uplift the lives of Filipinos, particularly in Mindanao, and to carry on the reforms and strong leadership of former President Duterte. “Maraming salamat po sa inyong patuloy na suporta at tiwala sa akin. “Maraming salamat rin po sa inyong suporta sa aking mga kapartido at kapwa Duterte senatoriables,” he added.
He also reiterated his call to continue advocating for the health, safety, and freedom of former President Duterte, whom he considers not only a mentor but a father figure in public service.
“Salamat sa inyong pagsuporta sa aming adhikain at mga pinaglalaban para sa bayan. Tulad ng bilin ni Tatay Digong, unahin ang kapakanan ng kapwa nating Pilipino, unahin ang interes ng taong bayan at hinding hindi ka magkakamali,” Go concluded.
As “Mr. Malasakit,” Senator Go remains focused on strengthening medical assistance for the poor, through programs such as the Malasakit Centers, Super Health Centers, Regional Specialty Centers, and the establishment of more accessible government services in underserved areas.
With his trademark humility and dedication, Go reminded everyone that his service is not selective. “Sipag, pagmamalasakit, at more serbisyo po ang pwede kong maialay sa ating kapwa Pilipino.”
“Uunahin ko po ang mga pro-poor programs. Uunahin ko po ang mga kababayan nating mahihirap,” Go declared. “Ilapit po natin ang serbisyo ng gobyerno sa ating mga kababayang mahihirap. Ilapit po natin ang serbisyong medikal sa mga mahihirap na pasyente. Patuloy po akong magseserbisyo sa inyong lahat sa abot ng aking makakaya dahil bisyo ko po ang magserbisyo sa ating mga kababayang Pilipino at naniniwala po ako na ang serbisyo po sa tao ay serbisyo po ‘yan sa Diyos.”
As the 2025 elections near, Go reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to continue championing the welfare of Filipinos — especially the most vulnerable — with or without a title. “Hangga’t kailangan ako ng mga kababayan natin, maglilingkod ako sa abot ng aking makakaya.”
On the same day, Go led the turnover ceremony of the Super Health Center in Tagaloan town.
