MANILA, Philippines (Exclusive to The Adobo Chronicles ) – Special Assistant to the President Bong Go was the hot topic on social media this week after he apologized to entertainment personality Kris Aquino for Mocha Uson’s post featuring a video of Ninoy Aquino being kissed by two women.
Go was widely criticized even by supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte for easily and quickly giving in to Aquino’s cry for help. Many of them even said they will not be voting for Go should he decide to run for Senator in 2019.
The Adobo Chronicles spoke to Go for comment on the raging controversy. This is what he told us:
”It was all political strategy that had the blessing of the President. It’s all about having name recognition in preparation for my Senate run. You see, unlike Kris, I’m a virtual unknown. By apologizing to Kris, I became the subject of news headlines and debate on social media. Now, people know me and they will remember the name Bong Go when they go to the election precints in 2019.”
CAMP CRAME, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – It’s a case of a fish caught by its own mouth.
In a single tweet from her jail cell, Senator Leila De Lima says she is now the “old role model” of government corruption in the Philippines, hailing incumbent Solicitor General Jose Calida as the new role model.
Well, at some point, De Lima, who turns 59 this August, will have to pass on the baton to someone else. The time is now.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After all, people are willing to give peace a chance.
Today, Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Bong Go apologized to Kris Aquino for PCOO Asec Mocha Uson’s post on Aquino’s dad, showing a video of two women kissing the Senator. It was Uson’s way of getting back at President Duterte’s critics who condemned him kissing a married Filipina in South Korea.
Not to be outdone, blogger Raissa Robles apologized to the Marcos family for her book, ‘Marcos Martial Law: Never Again.’
