Quezon City officials back Go
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and other city officials on Monday endorsed Go’s reelection bid, praising his efforts to bring government services closer to the poor.
During a city hall event, Belmonte called Go her “number one” choice, as she and Vice Mayor Gian Sotto thanked the senator for supporting Quezon City.
Go thanked Quezon City for its support, recalling his time as a student there.
