Go sets condition for presidency: President Duterte as runningmate a must
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go stated that he will only run for president in the 2022 elections if President Rodrigo Duterte agrees to be his running mate.
Go's condition stems from the PDP-Laban party's nomination of both him and Duterte as their presidential and vice presidential candidates, respectively.
He believes that Duterte as his vice president would ensure true continuity of their administration's policies.
Senator Go also mentioned that he is leaving his political fate to God, the Duterte family, and the Filipino people.
