“I am calling on the Commission on Audit to conduct a special audit on all the transactions of Bong Go’s family, namely CLTG and Alfrego Builders, with the government based on the very same official documents they have given to me in 2019,” he said in a statement.

The family of President Duterte’s former aide, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, enriched themselves by as much as P6.6 billion in government contracts, P5.1 billion of which were awarded during the first two years of the President’s term, former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said on Monday, July 5.
In his vlog, “TRX: Trillanes Explains,” Duterte’s staunchest critic said that the construction companies of Go’s father and half-brother amassed billions’ worth of projects in the Davao region alone despite having only a “B” license from the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB).

+ March 14, 2021 WHY is it that many of us Pinoys tend to turn everything in our lives into politics? Is it because a large number believes it could run our country in such a way as to make it a progressive and respectable nation? Aren’t there ordinary citizens who hanker for high office, such as barangay captain to councilor to mayor to governor, then congressperson to senator and, eventually, president? Is it because of a natural human predilection to lust for power so as to be able to control one’s fellow humans? Isn’t it rather like the ape who thinks he’s the king of the jungle only to find that it’s the lion who’s the stronger beast?
