Sen. Bong Go maintained that he has committed no wrongdoing amid reports that the International Criminal Court had issued a warrant against him, insisting that he has always acted within the bounds of the law throughout his years in public service.
In a statement, Go said he remained steadfast in his position and placed his trust in God as questions emerged over the reported ICC action.
“I leave everything to God. In my entire life, I have never violated any human law or God’s law,” Go said.
The senator reiterated that he has nothing to hide and said every action he took as a public official was carried out in accordance with the law and his responsibilities as a public servant.
“I repeat that I have not violated any law. That is why I am here, and I am just doing my job,” he said.
Go also rejected claims linking him to police operations, saying such matters were never part of his official functions as a senator or during his previous service in government.
“Police matters have never been part of my mandate. I hope and pray that the issue regarding the alleged ICC warrant against me will not be politicized.”
Before joining the Senate, Go served for years as the longtime aide and Special Assistant to former President Rody Duterte. He has consistently denied allegations linking him to unlawful acts connected to the government’s anti-drug campaign.
The reported warrant is tied to the ICC’s continuing investigation into alleged crimes against humanity linked to anti-drug operations conducted during the Duterte administration. Questions surrounding the court’s jurisdiction in the Philippines remain the subject of legal and political debate following the country’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019.
Despite the controversy, Go said he remains focused on serving the public and fulfilling his duties as an elected official.
“Please count on me to continue serving, because that is what our fellow Filipinos need right now.”
“I will not waste the trust given to me by 27 million Filipinos,” he added.
Philippine authorities had not released an official statement confirming the reported warrant. Further developments are expected as legal and government institutions respond to the matter.
