Bong Go denies soliciting funds for supposed Senate run

(Eagle News)–Special Assistant to the President Bong Go denied he had tried to solicit funds from Coconut Industry Investment Fund-Oil Mills Group’s  President Benedicto Lor for his Senate run.

In a radio interview on Sunday, July 15, Go said that while several groups were asking him to run, “wala po kaming ino-authorize na kahit sino to raise funds, kahit piso.”

He said in the first place, he should not be considered a candidate.

Lor had said couple Lou Luy and Jocel Luy, citing their supposed strong ties with Go, had solicited the funds.

But Lor supposedly refused.

Several officials from the CIIF-OMG, including Lor, offered to resign after a new president was nominated by the Palace.
