- Bong Go attended the 12th National Youth Parliament.
- A netizen stated that Bong Go wasted two hours of the program.
As the 2019 midterm elections is getting nearer and nearer, you won’t be surprised to see politicians and candidates suddenly appearing here and there to campaign for themselves.
But in Bong Go‘s case, not everyone was happy about his appearance at the 12th National Youth Parliament. It was said that certain politicians were invited to the event to host some sessions in the program.
On October 23, the Senatorial aspirant was introduced as he proceeded to discuss his plans for the country in case he wins a seat in the Senate.
It did not end there as the attendees were also given freebies and were complaining about the campaign jingles being played.
A Twitter user named Rudy Clariño posted a tweet saying that they “wasted” two hours for Bong Go’s activities and take photos instead of doing something productive.
WE WERE SUPPOSE TO COMMENCE OUR 1ST PLENARY SESSION PERO MAY UMEPAL!!! RINDING-RINDI NA AKO RITO :((
WE WASTED 2 HOURS OF OUR SUPPOSEDLY PRODUCTIVE TIME JUST TO TAKE FCKIN PICTURES AND LISTEN TO THIS BASURA!
I FEEL SO USED!! NEVER EVER LET THIS MAN STEP IN THE SENATE!!!

Bong Go posted about the event on his Facebook page, saying that he has served as an inspiration for the youth leaders.
Naging inspirasyon si Kuya Bong Go para sa mga Filipino youth leaders nang dumalo ito sa pagpupulong ng National Youth Parliament sa Waterfront Hotel, Davao City ngayong araw, October 22.
Sa pagtitipon, hinikayat ni Kuya Bong ang mga kabataan na gawin ng matapat ang kanilang mga tungkulin at mas lalo pang pagbutihin ang kanilang mga kasanayan upang makapagsilbi sa bayan. Hinimok din niya ang mga ito na ibahagi ang kanilang mga kaalaman sa iba pang mga kabataan sa kanilang komunidad.
Bilang kandidato sa pagka-senador sa darating na eleksyon, ibinahagi naman ni Kuya Bong sa mga dumalo ang kanyang plano para sa bayan. Nariyan ang pagpapabuti ng access ng mga Pilipino sa healthcare services at paglaban sa illegal na droga. Sinabi rin nito na kanyang susuportahan at itutuloy ang legislative agenda ng Pangulo.
He then clarified that he didn’t attend to campaign for himself and thanked the National Youth Parliament for welcoming him.
Sa kabila nito, nilinaw ni Kuya Bong na ang kanyang pagdalo sa naturang event ay hindi upang ikampanya ang kanyang sarili.
Kinilala rin ni Kuya Bong sa event ang papel ng National Youth Commission, sa pangunguna ni USec. Ronald Gian Cardema, upang maging mabuting ehemplo sa iba pang youth leaders.
Maraming salamat po sa National Youth Parliament sa inyong naging mainit na pagtanggap kay Kuya Bong. Sana ay tulad niya at ni Tatay Digong, pagbutihin natin ang ating pagganap sa ating mga tungkulin tungo sa kaunlaran at katiwasayan ng ating bayan!

“Sa pagtatapos ng #NYP12, lubos kong ipinagmamalaki na hindi kami nanatiling tahimik. Mula sa iba’t ibang sektor at organisasyon, nanindigan at patuloy na maninindigan ang Kabataang Pilipino laban sa pamumulitika. Patuloy na maninindigan ang kabataan para sa tama at nararapat!”
