Sen. Bong Go files candidacy for Vice President

October 3, 2021

Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go officially files his certificate of candidacy (COC) for Vice President. He was accompanied by Pres. Duterte, Saturday, October 2nd.

In a statement, Go said he will run for vice president after Duterte announced his “retirement” from politic, withdrawing his acceptance of the PDP-Laban nomination for the same post.

“Given that President Rodrigo Duterte decided to withdraw his acceptance of nomination, I am here to take on the challenge as PDP-Laban’s Vice Presidential candidate,” Go said in a statement.

Sen. Bong Go was originally nominated for the position of President by the Cusi-side of the now divided PDP-Laban. With the latest development, it’s unclear who will be the new candidate for the position of President and if the replacement will even have a chance of running against Isko Moreno and Ping Lacson, who already announced their intension to run for the highest office in the country.

1Sambayan’s response to Duterte’s VP bid for 2022 election

August 25, 2021

1Sambayan, the opposition coalition that’s compose of former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, SC Justice Antonio Carpio and former Secretary of Foreign Affairs Albert Del Rosario, to name a few, just release their statement regarding the acceptance of Pres. Duterte for his Vice President nomination by PDP-Laban party.

Here the gist of their statement;

It shows a clear mockery of our Constitution and democratic process. Obviously, this is driven by fear of accountability both from ICC and from our own justice system. The candidacy is both legally and morally wrong, and we trust that the Filipino people will realize his brazen, selfish and self-serving motives.

Sadly, today’s declaration comes at the heels of numerous allegations of corruption and continuing EJK, even as we mourn the death of 30,000 Filipinos due to the a failed COVID-19 response.

The coalition’s statement in both Filipino and in English, to make sure that everyone will be able to read it. I embedded their original post below.

December 31, 2017

Written in Filipino, Vice President Leni Robredo is as optimistic as ever, specially this coming 2018. Here’s the full text of her message.

Mensahe
Isang manigong bagong taon sa inyong lahat, mula sa aming pamilya at sa Tanggapan nang Pangalawang Pangulo.

Sa ating pagsalubong sa 2018, panalangin natin na patuloy na mamuhay ang liwanag nang pag-ibig at pag-asa sa puso ng bawat isa.

Marami tayong pagsubok na hinaharap at haharapin pa. Nandiyan ang pagkalat nang negatibismo at galit, paglaganap ng kultura ng takot at karahasan sa ating lipunan. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga ito, naging saksi tayo sa katotohanan: na ang bawat Pilipino ay tanglaw sa pag-asa.

Sa bawat kamunidad na ating pinuntahan at sa bawat pamilya na ating nakasalamuha, nakita natin ang kabutihan at habag ng bawat isa para sa ating kapwa.

Kaya’t ngayong 2018m buhay pa rin ang pangarap natin na mabigyan ng mas magandang kinabukasan ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Nananatili tayong matatag at determinado sa ating adhikain na iangat ang ating mga kababayan mula sa kahirapan at ipagtanggol ang mga karapatan ang bawat Pilipino.

Muli, isang masaya at masaganang bagong taon sa ating lahat!
