Sen Bong Go urges Filipinos to reflect on Duterte's public service values

Former President Rodrigo Duterte celebrated his 80th birthday on Friday, March 28, with Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go urging Filipinos to reflect on Duterte's values of public service and love for the country.

Go expressed heartfelt support for Duterte, emphasizing his dedication to the welfare of Filipino people throughout his career.

The senator shared that Duterte has a tradition of quietly celebrating his birthday by giving simple treats to cancer patients, which he misses now.

Go vowed to continue this legacy of simplicity and compassion, organizing feeding programs for cancer patients with friends who also want to participate.

Despite the current situation, Go called on Filipinos to pray for Duterte's health, safety, and freedom while supporting legal processes and justice.

Over 200 sites around the world, including gatherings led by overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), will hold synchronized prayer rallies in support of Duterte.
