President Rodrigo Duterte’s special assistant Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said the government will continue to push sports as part of the three-point campaign against crime, illegal drugs, and criminality.
Go, who attended the 2018 Filipino-Chinese Friendship Games held at Chiang Kai Shek College in Manila on Saturday, said stopping crime, corruption and illegal drugs would not only help improve the economy but ensure the safety of traders.
He lauded members of the Filipino-Chinese community for their help in nation-building.
Go led the ceremonial tip-off by joining a basketball game that pitted the Philippine Sports Commission team against the team of the Chinese Embassy and Chinese community.
The 17th Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day marked the 43rd anniversary of the Philippines’ diplomatic relations with China.
