Bong Go

Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Tesoro Go (Tagalog: [bɔŋ ˈɡɔ]; born June 14, 1974) is a Filipino politician serving as a senator since 2019. He previously served under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte as Special Assistant to the President and Head of the Presidential Management Staff from 2016 to 2018. Go served as Duterte's personal aide and special assistant from 1998 to 2025, although he focused more on his senatorial duties after his election in 2019. Go was reelected to the Senate in 2025, earning the most number of votes in a senate election in Philippine history. In a 2020 affidavit submitted to the International Criminal Court, Go was accused by former policeman-contract killer Arturo Lascañas of being closely involved in the operations of the Davao Death Squad during Duterte's tenure as mayor of Davao City, although he has denied the allegations.
