On his Facebook post, Bong Go was humbled by the endorsement of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte to run for the next elections.
“I am humbled by the endorsement of our beloved City Mayor Inday Sara. The Dutertes, the Father, the Daughter, are my inspiration and example of being a true public servant,” he started his long post.
Bong Go acknowledged his statement before that he will not run for public service however, it seems that his decision has changed.
“Kahit maaga pa po pag-usapan ang politika, ni ‘di ko pa naisip ang tumakbo; ngunit sa mga salitang binitawan ng ating mahal na Mayora Inday Sara, ngayon pa lang nakakataba na ng puso at nakakawala ng pagod kahit na 24 oras akong magtrabaho,” he added.
According to him, President Duterte gave him the chance to serve the country. He further said that he will always be grateful for the Duterte family for the trust they gave him.
“Si Mayor Rody po ang nagbigay ng lakas ng loob po sa akin na ipagpatuloy ang paninilbihan sa bansang Pilipinas. Pangako ko po sa Pamilyang Duterte na pagsisilbihan ko po ang kanilang ama habambuhay kahit saan man po kami pulutin balang araw, dahil malaki po ang utang na loob ko sa Pamilyang Duterte.
“Kahit saan man ako dalhin ng aking kapalaran, sasamahan ko si Pangulong Duterte hanggang kamatayan. Si Mayor Sara naman po, nakikita ko rin sa kanya ang isang Pangulong Rody Duterte sa kanyang pagseserbisyo ng buong puso,” he ended.
