“Ang Pilipino ang mas nakakaalam sa tunay na sitwasyon at naging epekto ng ating kampanya noon. Sila ang nakakaramdam ng naging ginhawa na nakakalakad ang kanilang mga anak sa gabi at nakakauwi ang kanilang pamilya galing ng trabaho na walang takot,” said Go. “Bakit ang mga banyaga ang huhusga sa atin, may sarili naman tayong mga batas? Buhay na buhay ang demokrasya sa ating bansa, mayroon tayong rule of law na pinapairal, at may sarili naman tayong mga korte na nananatiling malaya at mapagkakatiwalaan,” he continued.
