DUTERTE’S HIGH SATISFACTION RATING VINDICATES FIGHT VS CRIME, CORRUPTION, DRUGS – GO

Former Special Assistant to the President (SAP) and 2019 senatorial aspirant Bong Go said the latest survey showing a record-high satisfaction rating for the administration vindicates the campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte against criminality, corruption and illegal drugs.

The First Quarter 2019 Social Weather Survey, done on March 28-31, 2019, found 81% of adult Filipinos satisfied, 10% neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 9% dissatisfied with the general performance of the current National Administration, for a new record-high net satisfaction rating of +72, classified as excellent.

“Ibig sabihin nito masaya po ang ating mga kababayan sa mga nangyayari sa kapaligiran natin na nakakalakad na ang ating anak na hindi nababastos at walang kinatatakutan,” Go said in an ambush interview during a break in his motorcade in Cainta, Rizal.

The former presidential aide had been consistently telling people during his campaign sorties of his full commitment to support the policies and programs of the President.

Yun po ang aking ipagpapatuloy, yung pagbabagong inumpisahan ni Pangulong Duterte ‘yung kampanya laban sa kriminalidad, kampanya laban sa korapsyon, at kampanya laban sa ilegal na droga,” the former palace official said.

Meanwhile, Go thanked the people of Cainta, Rizal and its leaders—particularly Mayor Kit Nieto—for their open display of support, as he noted the enthusiastic welcome of the residents of the municipality during his motorcade.

Go is an adopted son of the province of Rizal by virtue of a manifesto signed last February by the governors of the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon (CALABARZON), expressing their support for his senatorial bid and declaring him as an adopted son of the region.

Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong mainit na pagtanggap, sing-init ng panahon,” Go said.

He recalled that Mayor Nieto is among the local officials who gave their whole-hearted support to President Duterte during the 2016 elections.

Mayroon lamang ako gustong sabihin sa mga tao ng Cainta hindi po namin nalilimutan ni Pangulong Duterte isa po si Mayor Kit Nieto na talagang sumuporta po kay Pangulong Duterte,” Go said.

He said that he and the President would help Cainta to the best of their abilities.

Asahan niyo po dito sa Cainta kung ano po ang pwede naming gawin ni Pangulong Duterte…kung ano po ang pwede naming maitulong at kabutihan po dito sa Cainta, handa po kaming tumulong sa inyo,” Go said.

“President Duterte and I will help Cainta to the best of our ability.”

He noted that Cainta and the province of Rizal already stand to benefit from various infrastructure and development projects under the Duterte administration.

Go cited the Southeast Metro Manila Expressway, a P45 billion project that is a part of the larger C-6 Expressway project. The 34-km, six-lane expressway will run from Skyway/FTI in Taguig City to the Batasan Complex in Quezon City, traversing Antipolo, Rizal.

The project is expected to reduce traffic congestion along EDSA, C-5, Ortigas Ave. and Ortigas Extension, and would allow for quicker and more direct access to major airport terminals. Construction of the project is ongoing and it is expected to be completed by 2020.

In addition, he mentioned the establishment of the Rizal Provincial Science and Technology Center and Regional Design and Creativity Hub in the University of Rizal in Antipolo City. It would showcase the extent of science, technology, and innovation programs and services given to community-based partners as well as micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Go assured the people of Cainta and the province of Rizal that they can rely on his help if they want any of their concerns brought to the attention of the President.

“You can rely on my help if you want any concerns brought to the attention of President Duterte.”

Noon, ngayon at kahit saan man ako ipadpad ng aking tadhana patuloy niyo po ako magiging tulay kay Pangulong Duterte. Basta kami ni Pangulong Duterte wala kaming ibang hangarin kundi ang kabutihan ng bawat Pilipino dahil mahal namin kayo,” he said.

Go has taken among his top priorities under his legislative agenda the improvement in the delivery of health services in the country by upgrading the facilities and equipment of public hospitals and also through the establishment of Malasakit Centers.

A brainchild of Go adopted as a program of the Duterte administration, the Malasakit Center makes it easier and faster for poor patients to avail of medical and financial assistance from the government by bringing together in one room concerned agencies such as the Department of Health, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office and Philhealth.

Pagdating ng panahon ito po ang gusto kong maisabatas para tuloy-tuloy ang programa kahit hindi na pangulo si Pangulong Duterte at para madagdagan pa ang mga Malasakit Center sa iba pang mga probinsya at pangunahing lungsod sa ating bansa,” he said.

Other priority concerns under Go’s legislative agenda include programs for agriculture, housing for the poor, education, long-term sports development, localized peace talks, fire protection and prevention, barangay welfare, creation of a Department for overseas Filipino workers and improved benefits for senior citizens.
