Every year, former special assistant to President Rodrigo Duterte and now aspiring senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go returns to Davao with the Chief Executive to join Davaoeños in their celebration of Araw ng Davao.

This year’s homecoming is particularly important to Go because at the festivities for the 82nd Araw ng Davao on March 16 at Rizal Park in Davao City, he renewed his pledge to his fellow Davaoeños to continue serving them, albeit in another capacity — as senator.
