Boracay rehab to bring lasting benefits-- SAP

THE rehabilitation of Boracay will bring long-lasting benefits not only for the locals but for the country as a whole.


This was what Sec. Bong Go, Special Assistant to the President, assured on Sunday as he oversaw the giving of financial assistance to the displaced Boracay workers.


"Iniisip ni Presidente ang kapakananan ng nakararami as always. So kung ano mang plano para sa Boracay, kapakanan ng karamihan at kabutihan ng bawat Pilipino lalo ng residente ng Boracay ang isinasaalang-alang," he stressed.


(The President always puts the interest of the greater Filipino mass at the forefront. Whatever his plans are for Boracay, rest assured that they will be for the betterment of every Filipino especially the Boracay residents.)

SAP Bong Go was directed by the President to personally check on the progress of the island's rehabilitation, which the President had previously ordered to be fast-tracked.


Before his engagement in Boracay, SAP Bong Go was in Cagayan de Oro and Dumaguete wherein thousands of his supporters gathered to urge him to run for a seat in the senate in 2019.

But he doused speculations as he said it is too early to talk about politics and the final decision will be up to the President, “Trabaho lang muna po ako. Tumutulong ako sa kampanya ni Presidente para labanan ang drugs, criminality and corruption.Trabaho lang din kaya ako nakikita sa publiko dahil my job is to help."


(My sole focus for now is on doing my job. I'm advancing the President's campaign against drugs, criminality and corruption. It's only because of my job to help that I'm usually seen in public.)

Go in his previous appearances said that as the president, fondly called Tatay Digong, cannot attend to everybody’s concerns, he is usually tasked to do it on his behalf. Hence, the public can already call him Kuya Bong.
