SENATOR Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said that he was also stripped of security detail ahead of Vice President Sara Duterte.
In an audio recording sent to reporters by his staff, Go, the long-time aide and right hand of former president Rodrigo Duterte, said his security detail were also pulled out ahead of the Vice President.
“Hindi siya nagi-isa dahil unang-una, ako rin po ay natanggalan ng security. Mas nauna pa ako sa kanya. Siguro mga three weeks ago pa ito,” he said, as reported by the Sunstar.
“Concerned rin po ako kahit papaano. Ako nga mismo senador, alam niyo ang trabaho namin ay kahit saang sulok po ng Pilipinas ay umaabot po ako. Nandiyan po kahit papaano yung risk, yung threats sa buhay namin. Pero ako naman sanay naman ako, kahit saan naman tayo naglalakad tayo,” he added.
While Go did not specify if his security detail were from the Philippine National Police (PNP), he expressed concern in a Facebook post about the recent incidents involving the national police agency, reminding them to remain loyal to their sworn duty and to not let politics influence them.
“Huwag maging selective. Huwag haluan ng pulitika. Gawin lang ang tama nang walang pili at walang pinapanigan,” he said.
“Ang lagi kong payo sa mga pulis, be professional and just do what is right — proteksyunan ninyo ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino at gampanan ang tungkulin nang naaayon sa batas! Dapat manatiling propesyunal at tapat sa sinumpaang tungkulin ang ating mga alagad ng batas alang-alang sa bayan,” he added.
