Manila, Philippines – Nagpamalas na naman ng hosting skills si Sen. Bong Go nang sumalang siya as guest host sa Wil to Win last Thursday, February 7.
The senator complemented his tireless and compassionate brand of public service to bring joy to the audience and connect with ordinary Filipinos through the show which host Willie Revillame fondly labeled as “Wil to Go”.
Marami ang hindi nakakaalam na magaling din magpatawa si Go.
He gamely participated in the show’s interactive segments, drawing laughter and cheers from the live audience. It was a rare sight to see the lawmaker in a more relaxed and playful setting, proving that his malasakit for the people extends beyond his work in the Senate.
“Kanina po, galing akong Pampanga. Naghatid ng konting tulong, maraming lumalapit na nagpapasalamat.
“Sabi ko sa kanila, huwag silang magpasalamat sa akin. Ako ang dapat magpasalamat sa inyo dahil binigyan niyo ako ng pagkakataon na magserbisyo sa inyong lahat,” Senator Go remarked.
“Patuloy akong magseserbisyo sa inyo sa abot ng aking makakaya. Sipag po ang pwede kong i-alay sa mga Pilipino at importante diyan ay pagmamalasakit,” he added.
During the show, Revillame expressed his admiration for Go’s dedication to public service. He also made a surprising statement, saying that if Go wins a Senate seat again, he would gladly support his programs and initiatives.
“Napag-uusapan natin ang paglilingkod sa bayan. Alam mo dapat meron kang malasakit sa kapwa mo. Yung bisyo mo ay dapat serbisyo… Ito ay isang tao na pwedeng pagkatiwalaan ng bawat Pilipino. Nagsilbi na sa bayan, hanggang ngayon, serbisyo ang kanyang bisyo,” introduced Revillame.
Revillame also reminisced about the senator’s help during the pandemic, emphasizing how Go played a crucial role in ensuring that Revillame’s show then could continue airing and provide assistance and entertainment to Filipinos in need at the time of immense crisis.
Adding to the heartwarming moments of the episode, Senator Go invited a special guest—9-year-old JM Mahinay, whom he met during his visit to Tondo the previous day.
JM, a bright and enthusiastic young boy, shared that his idols are both Senator Go and Revillame.
“Dalawa po yung idol ko si Senator Bong Go at si Kuya Willie. Maraming salamat po sa inyong tulong. Sana po, ipagpatuloy niyo lang po yan, dahil marami pa po kayo matututulungan, lalo na ang mga mahihirap,” JM shared.
Senator Go also used the platform to remind the audience about his ongoing programs focused on healthcare, education, and livelihood. He reiterated his commitment to serving the Filipino people, not just through legislation but through direct action.
Go and Revillame shared a heartfelt moment, exchanging words of gratitude and encouragement.
The senator thanked the host for continuously spreading joy to Filipinos and vowed to keep working tirelessly for the betterment of the nation.
“Si Kuya Wil, nakikita ko naman po na ang kanyang layunin sa inyo ay galing sa puso. Importante yan dito sa pagseserbisyo, mahal mo ang iyong kapwa Pilipino. Nakikita ko yan sa iyo kung paano mo pinapasaya ang mga kababayan sa ilang taon mo dito sa iyong programa,” Go said about Revillame.
With this memorable guesting, Senator Bong once again proved that he is not just a public servant, but also a man of the people—someone who listens, understands, and finds joy in making others happy. JP Ignacio
