In an interview with the media during the inauguration of Vice President Sara Duterte in Davao City on Sunday, the senator said that the outgoing President has agreed to be his legal consultant.
According to the senator, he was hesitant at first to ask the President to be his legal consultant as President Duterte had been through higher positions in government.
“Knowing the President talagang hinahanap po ng kanyang katawan, nasa DNA na po niya ang pagtatrabaho. Nag-offer po ako sa kanya na kung pwede kong… sabi ko, ‘Mr. President pwede ba kitang kunin kahit man lang consultant?’ Pumayag naman siya as a legal consultant,” the senator said.
Senator Go also said that he was pleased to hear the positive response from the President about his offer. He then clarified that the outgoing President had not yet formally accepted the offer since he was still considering other options after his term ended.
Senator Go guaranteed that the President still wanted to oversee the country even after his term ended.
According to the senator, the people can still approach President Duterte as a private citizen as he’s willing to help in some ways because of his love for the country.
