Senator Bong Go: “Naghahanda na si Pangulong Duterte dahil alam naman nating patapos na ang kanyang termino.”
BONG GO — Senator Christopher Lawrence Go said that President Rodrigo Duterte will continue to fulfill his duty as President even as his term nears end.
The senator has maintained that the President did his best in serving the Philippines and would continue to fulfill his duty as President, making sure that no time is wasted in serving Filipinos until the last day of his term.
“Ganun naman talaga ang buhay. Lahat ng mga bagay ay may pagtatapos. Kaya naghahanda na si Pangulong Duterte dahil alam naman nating patapos na ang kanyang termino,” Go said. “Ginawa niya ang kanyang tungkulin sa abot ng kanyang makakaya.”
The senator issued the statement after President Duterte said during his “Talk to the People” public address last February 7 that he has already packed his belongings so he would vacate Malacañang early, with his term ending in 4 months.
President Duterte’s term started last June 30, 2016, when he was sworn in as the country’s 16th President.

Meanwhile, the senator said that the President was ensuring a smooth transition of power for the next elected top leader of the Philippines. Until that day comes, the senator assured that President Duterte would keep on serving the Filipino people.
“Gusto rin niyang siguraduhing maayos ang transition patungo sa susunod na administrasyon ng kung sino man ang pipiliin ng taumbayan sa halalan,” Go pointed out. “He will definitely continue to work until the last day of his term.”
Regarding any endorsement of a presidential candidate in the 2022 elections by President Duterte, the senator reiterated that the President alone would make the final decision on whom to endorse, if at all.
To recall, the President endorsed the senatorial bids of former Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque and former senator JV Ejercito.
