Senator Christopher “Bong” Go addressed the recent maritime tragedy off Bajo de Masinloc that claimed the lives of three Filipino fishermen, by calling for immediate justice, extending assistance to the grieving families, and emphasizing the need for accountability and protective measures to safeguard Filipino fishermen in the country’s territorial waters.
Go, a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Peace and Order and the Senate Committee on National Defense, called for immediate justice for the victims. “Kung ano talaga ang totoo. Sana ay matigil na rin po ‘yung naiuulat na mga harassment, lalong-lalo na po dito sa maliliit nating mangingisda na wala pong ginawa kundi maghanapbuhay, mangisda nga po,” added Go.
