Senator Christopher Go thanked Filipinos for their unwavering support of former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is currently abroad and spending his birthday away from the Philippines for the first time.
In a March 25 interview, Go called for unity and prayers for Duterte’s safe return, as he remains detained in the Netherlands.
“Ang wish ko po kay Tatay Digong, good health. Alam n’yo, ang hirap po mag-isa ro’n… I’m praying sa kanyang kalusugan, kaligtasan, at kalayaan,” he said.
The senator reiterated that Filipinos should be the ones to judge Duterte, stating, “Sana po, ipagdasal natin. I’m calling for peace and unity, at kalayaan po ni Tatay Digong. Dapat po Pilipino ang humusga sa kanya.”
Go highlighted Duterte’s contributions to the country, emphasizing the former president’s efforts to ensure the safety of Filipinos.
He also urged the public to continue supporting Duterte: “Nananawagan po ako na ‘wag tayong tumigil hanggang makauwi siya. Wag tayong tumigil na magdasal, manalangin. ‘Wag tayong tumigil na manawagan na sana makabalik po s’ya.”IMT
