SENATOR Christopher “Bong” Go, who emerged as the top candidate in the 2025 senatorial race based on partial and unofficial results, said he will prioritize education in his second term.

In addition to education, he vowed to focus on healthcare access, food security, and job creation.

“Patuloy akong magseserbisyo sa inyo. Sipag, pagmamalasakit at mas marami pang serbisyo ang iaalay ko sa inyo sa susunod na mga taon. Uunahin ko palagi ang mga programang makakatulong sa mahihirap nating kababayan,” Go said.

He said he would push for expanded access to education, citing the enactment of the Free Tertiary Education Law during the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

“Pinaglaban natin ito. In fact, muntik nang ma-veto… pero ipinaglaban natin na matuloy. Gusto nating ma-expand ito at magkaroon ng choices ang ating mga kababayan,” he said.

Go has authored and co-sponsored several bills aimed at improving access to education, including Senate Bill No. 1360, which seeks to expand the coverage of the tertiary education subsidy by amending Republic Act No. 10931, the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, which was signed into law during Duterte’s term.

The senator also reiterated his commitment to sports development, linking it to youth welfare and anti-drug campaigns.

“Ang sports po ay isang paraan para mailayo ang kabataan sa illegal na droga. Get into sports, stay away from drugs to keep us healthy and fit,” he said.

He also highlighted key milestones achieved during his tenure as Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Sports.

“Ngayon, nakakamit natin ang first-ever gold sa Tokyo Olympics. Nakadalawang gold pa tayo sa Paris Olympics. Gusto ko na lumawak pa ang National Academy of Sports,” he said.
