FORMER SPECIAL Assistant to the President, Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, thanked the Filipino people for the trust they gave him following the release of the December 14-21 2018 survey of Pulse Asia.
The survey showed him making a huge jump to the 14th to 16th compared to his 22nd -27th ranking in September last year. “Labis po akong nagpapasalamat sa patuloy na tiwala ng marami nating kababayan sa ating kakayahan na makapaglingkod sa ating bayan,” Go said.
“Nakakataba po ng puso na mula sa September 2018 survey ng Pulse Asia kung saan nasa 22-27 ang ating ranking ay lumundag tayo sa 14-16 rank. Ang malaking pag-angat ay dahil sa patuloy na suporta ninyo – hindi lang para sa akin pero pati rin kay Pangulong Duterte,” he added.
Go also ranked 14th to 15th in the December 16 to 19, 2018 senatorial preference survey of the Social Weather Stations. The results of the Pulse Asia and SWS surveys placed Go within striking distance to barge into the coveted “Magic 12” circle in the remaining months before the May 2019 polls.
In another comprehensive nationwide survey conducted by DZRH, the flagship station of the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), last November 17 with 7,450 respondents, Bong Go ranked 8th in the Senatorial race.
“Bagamat tayo po ay natutuwa sa pagtaas sa iba’t ibang survey, hindi naman po tayo titigil sa pagkilos natin at pagtulong sa ating mga kababayan lalo na ang mga nangangailangan. Lalo lamang po itong nagbigay sa akin ng inspirasyon at determinasyon na ipagpatuloy ang totoong serbisyo na nararapat matanggap ng bawat Pilipino,” Go said
However, Go said since it’s still four months to go before the May 2019 elections, it’s still too early and he won’t let the survey results affect his advocacy to serve the people.
“Tuloy-tuloy lang po ang pagtulong ko kay Pangulong Duterte at sa kapwa Pilipino. Kahit ano naman po mangyari at kung san man tayo dalhin ng tadhana, habang buhay ako magsisilbi at magbibigay serbisyo sa inyo,” he said.
Likewise, he reiterated his vow to continue supporting President Rodrigo Duterte’s programs for improved delivery of services to the people and for genuine change.
“Asahan po ninyo na patuloy po nating susuportahan ang mga nasimulang programa ni Pangulong Duterte. Dapat ituloy ang tunay na pagbabago,” Go said. “Wala kaming ibang hangarin kung hindi kabutihan ng bawat isa sa inyo dahil mahal na mahal naming kayo mga kapatid naming Pilipino.”
The nationwide survey released by Pulse Asia is based on a sample of 1,800 representative adults 18 years old and above with a 2.3% error margin and a 95% confidence level. (Jun Ledesma)
