SENATOR Christopher “Bong” Go expressed his gratitude to the Filipino people after the latest OCTA Research senatorial survey, conducted from March 11-14, 2024, placed him in a strong second to third position with 49.9% approval.
“Lubos akong nagpapasalamat sa bawat Pilipinong patuloy na nagtitiwala at sumusuporta sa akin. Ang inyong suporta ay siyang nagbibigay lakas at inspirasyon sa akin upang magpatuloy sa paglilingkod sa bayan,” Go remarked.
Go noted the significance of the survey as a reflection of the people’s sentiment and an essential tool for understanding the public’s needs and expectations. He pledged to continue his efforts to address the pressing issues faced by the nation.
“Gagawin ko ang aking makakaya upang patuloy kong magampanan ang aking tungkulin ng may katapatan at dedikasyon, lalo na sa mga panahong ito na kailangan natin ng pagkakaisa at malasakit sa isa’t isa,” Go added.
In the survey, a diverse group of 1,200 male and female participants aged 18 and older, hailing from households across various socio-economic classes – AB, C, D, and E, were selected to provide their insights. These respondents were given a list from which they were instructed to pick up to 12 candidates they would support if the senatorial elections slated for 2025 were to occur today.
The senatorial surveys, which serve as a barometer of public opinion and support, have fueled Go’s motivation and resolve. The senator noted, “Ang results ng mga pinakahuling surveys ay nakakawala ng pagod at nagbibigay sa akin ng dagdag na lakas at determinasyon upang ipagpatuloy ang aking serbisyo para sa taumbayan.”
Earlier, in a Pulse Asia nationwide survey of potential senatorial candidates for the 2025 national midterm elections conducted last March 6-10, Go placed third to fourth place, getting a total of 44.2% among respondents.
“Patuloy kaming magseserbisyo sa inyo dahil bisyo ko ang magserbisyo at ako ay naniniwala na ang serbisyo sa tao ay serbisyo ‘yan sa Panginoon, serbisyo ‘yan kay Allah,” underscored Go, who is known as Mr. Malasakit for his compassionate service to Filipinos in need.
Since assuming office, Go has focused on his role in aiding fellow citizens, especially the impoverished and most vulnerable sectors, driven by his belief that service to humanity is service to God.
“Mula noon, hanggang ngayon, hindi ko sasayangin ang pagkakataon na ito na makapagserbisyo sa inyo at maipaglaban ang kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino,” added Go.
“Bilang isang simpleng probinsyanong binigyan ng Panginoon at ng mga mamamayang Pilipino ng mandatong maglingkod bilang senador simula noong taong 2019, hindi ako tumigil sa aking mga gawain na makatulong sa kapwa sa abot ng aking makakaya lalo na para sa mga mahihirap at pinakanangangailangan,” Go remarked, reflecting on his journey and dedication
Finally, Go extended his heartfelt thanks once more, promising to persist in his advocacies for the betterment of the country and all Filipinos.
“Muli, maraming salamat at ipagpapatuloy ko ang aking mga adbokasiya na makakabuti para sa bansa at sa lahat ng ating kababayang Pilipino,” he stated.
