MANILA, Philippines – Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio on Tuesday said she is “very sure” that former Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go is not using government funds in his senatorial campaign.

The Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) leader issued the statement after opposition senatorial bet Gary Alejano accused Go of distributing campaign shirts during a public assembly attended by barangay officials.

Alejano also claimed that government funds were used during the event.

“I’m sure na if he’s made to answer if ano ‘yung source ng funds niya from his T-shirts, I’m sure it will not be from government funds. Alam naman niya ‘yun ang tagal na niya sa politika,” the presidential daughter said.
