- Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go said he is backing out of the 2022 presidential race.
- In a chance interview with reporters, the first-term senator admitted he was not prepared to seek the highest elective post in the country.
- According to Go, his family did not want him to run for president and he did not want to add to Duterte’s problems.
- “In the past few days I realized that my heart and my mind are contradicting my actions… Those are my reasons. That’s why I am withdrawing from the race,” he said.
- Go’s withdrawal leaves the ruling party without an official candidate for 2022’s polls for now.
- Elections spokesperson James Jimenez said the poll body’s “law department has no authority to accept any filings, considering that today is a holiday.”
- He added that Go is not entitled to substitution since he is withdrawing voluntarily.
