No, it's not all in your head: we're seeing Bong Go more often than we're supposed to – and there's a reason behind it. Read this in-depth piece by Rappler's Pia Ranada:

MANILA, Philippines – At a time when government communication on the COVID-19 pandemic has become critical, one politician has managed to consistently appear in official coronavirus broadcasts – Senator Bong Go.

For many news agencies, the Laging Handa PH briefings are their only way to directly ask questions to officials and get government information on the pandemic itself, the country’s testing capacity, and new quarantine rules. His airtime here is multiplied significantly considering that even private news channels air the Laging Handa briefings.

For instance, Episode 28 featured words of thanks for his donation to medical frontliners of the Southern Philippines Medical Center in Davao City. The company claimed Go’s only involvement in the donations was in “identifying beneficiaries” “in his capacity as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health.”

Itong ngiti bata..mag pre presidente ng bansa nyo? Naninigas kya tiyan ko sa ka2tawa. Tama na nga iyan ang joke2 nyo. At tama na Pinoy ang katangahan nyo.

May nakikinig ba?

Another rappler interpretation? Vengeance again bis the govt by the rappler - a foreign newspaper

Bullsht. Taking advantage of govt. funds for early campaign exposure. Stop this Epal right on his track before he starts screwing the lives of Filipinos.

Simply to earn fake Pogi points. So the society full of idiots would vote for him as President. In so doing a lot of ass would be covered & mess up cleaned.

Nice analysis.

This guy has the most annoying face on TV. Alam mo yung parang kaklase mo nung highschool na nanghihingi sayo ng papel pero ayaw mong bigyan kasi kupal at pabibo. Hahayaan mong wala siyang papel pag may seatwork.

'The amount of exposure Go gets from these government broadcasts leaves little doubt that state media resources are being used for his benefit, even in the middle of a pandemic that calls for focused and non-political crisis messaging.'

Eyesore

Epalness Gising Pilipinas

This trick worked for him, no? So, seems only a few were disturbed by it and they were silent too.

Eye sore 🤦‍♀️

Basura! 🤑🤑🤑

legallyzen He's doing all these using taxpayer's money. Ang kapal ng mukha ng gaGOng ito!

Mud throwing has started? Report on something newsworthy.

NOTOGO2022

Abangan sa Halalan 2022..Ang pagsalakay na naman ng mga Bobotante..

He's not running for president. I bet he is after the VP.

Kung talagang epal siya at propaganda ang alam niyang gawin at suportado siya ng china. Be it. Lets start campaigning AGAINST his candidacy now. Magkaisa rin tayong mga tama Ang pag iisip.

would appreciate an even more in-depth investigation as I feel this started waaaaaaay before the pandemic.

🤢

An incompetent analysis due to bitterness. He won't run for position present in your mind coz he knows he will lose. Better watch out for someone coz he/she is unforgiving for those org who are funded by foreigners.

I REMEMBER THAT THE GOLDEN ERA OF SENATORS ARE IN THE EARLY 90’s and 2000’s , I HAVE NOT SEEN SAME CALIBER AS LIKE JOVIT SALONGA , EDGARDO ANGARA, MIRIAM SANTIAGO & OTHERS . MOST SENATORS TODAY ARE NOT EVEN MAKING OUR POOR LIFE EASY. I HOPE TO SEE COMPETENCY FROM THIS PERSONS.

I hate his guts

Makes me conclude that he is really the epal bwisit behind the ash faced moron

it's not called TV 'program' for nothing

maawa kayo sa Pilipinas.

Bitter mn kayo uy. Hatred na yan🤣

Why do i feel like puking my entrails out everytime i see his face or hear/read his name? SAPBongGo LetsGOBongGO is an epalistic tae with no shame whatsoever! Walanghiyang Epal!

Matalino na sana mga tao pagdating sa eleksyon 👊🏼

Isa pang taga davao na walang silbi

Prepping for failure

Sana matuto mga botante sa susunod..tingnan nyo nangyari ngayon..

Alam na..

Change the name of the program to LETS GO

“Go’s face and name have been shown or mentioned more frequently than any other public official, including President Rodrigo Duterte himself.” It seems he is being groomed as Du30’s successor since past efforts by BBM have failed. Their “bromance” is suspect!

Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) in Davao City got more philhealth grant than PGH, per philhealth's fb page. As in tens of millions more if not hundreds.

Please, i just ate.
