    Bong Go is not a modern-day Andres Bonifacio

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Dec 13, 2021 11:26 AM

    Reluctant’ candidate Go drops 2022 presidential bid

    By Ivel John M. Santos  |  Nov 30, 2021 3:42 PM

    In yet another turnaround, Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go announced on Tuesday, Nov. 30, his withdrawal as presidential candidate in the May 2022 elections citing his half-hearted commitment and lack of full family support for his decision to quit the race. He also wanted to spare his longtime boss, President Rodrigo Duterte, from the stress of a rigorous campaign and “dirty politics”.
