Go pays homage to soldier athletes

Former Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go paid tribute to the Filipino athletes, who, besides carrying the country’s colors in global sporting arenas , sacrificed their lives, too, in the field of combat.

Speaking on the eve of the country’s celebration of the Araw ng Kagitingan on Monday, the senatorial candidate Go offered good, inspiring words on the 52 fallen athletes-soldiers , who, on separate occasions, perished during the war even as he called on the present-day athletes to emulate their heroic deeds.
