The looming issuance of arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for former president Rodrigo Duterte and his accomplices in his deadly war on drugs is expected to impact tremendously in the 2025 midterm and the 2028 presidential elections.
Bukod kay dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, sina kasalukuyang Pangalawang Pangulong Sara Duterte, Senador Bong Go, at Senador Bato Dela Rosa ay pinangalanan din sa mga dokumentong pinása sa International Criminal Court o ICC na nag-iimbestiga sa mga pagpatay noong drug war ng administrasyong Duterte.
Aside from former president Rodrigo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, and senators Bato de la Rosa and Bong Go were named in a document submitted to the ICC probing the killings related to the drug war during the previous administration and when Duterte was mayor of Davao City.
When he announced that he was withdrawing from the 2022 presidential race, Sen. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go somehow likened himself to Andres Bonifacio whom he described as "the president who never was."
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”.
There was nothing on the senator’s official social media pages that resembled the quote.
They have not recalled their COCs, contrary to the claim of a viral video.
Robredo does not hold any Cabinet post from which she can be removed. In the case of Duque, Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go only advised him during a Senate blue ribbon committee hearing to address the findings of the Commission on Audit on the "deficiencies" in the Department of Health's (DOH) handling of the pandemic.
The problem with sourcing information from Davao city is that it always leads to a request for anonymity.
We go by the norms of the Duterte playbook before each election that repeats two contrasting refrains: “I will run” and “I will not run.”
