(Eagle News) – Senatorial aspirant Christopher “Bong” Go once again took of his shirt to show his bare back and disprove the allegations made by Peter Joemel Advincula, the man claiming to be “Bikoy”, that he had a dragon tattoo on his back linked allegedly to illegal drugs.
Go said Advincula’s allegation were all “malicious black propaganda” and hinted that it could be the work of the opposition.
“Alam n’yo panahon ‘to ng pulitika. Kukulayan kami. Nadadamay na po ang pamilya Duterte,” he said.
“Marumi, kinukulayan kami ng itim para sila ay pumuti (It’s dirty. We are being blackened so they will appear white),” Go said.
And once again, he showed to the media his bare back to prove that it had no markings, much less a tattoo.
He said that this would be the last time that he would do so, as he would look like a fool if he would again do this.
He had showed his bare back in April when the first “Bikoy” video came out alleging that he had a tattoo on his back which allegedly proved he was connected to the illegal drug trade.
Go said that as what the media could see, there were no tattoos on his back – only PSNBB which stands for pimples, stretchmark, nunal (mole), balat (birthmark), and bilbil (fat).
He did this during the launching of the “10 million trees challenge” of Luntian Pilipinas Party-List on Monday, May 6, where one of the nominees is Ciara Sotto, daughter of Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III.
While Go did not directly say that “Otso Diretso” candidates were behind the “Bikoy” videos, he said that those behind “Bikoy” were people who would not stop at nothing and would even use “black propaganda” to achieve their goal.
-Bikoy videos, part of political season black propaganda, says Go-
“I’m not directly accusing them (Otso Diretso and the opposition), but this is political season. Panahon ng pulitika.. At nakita nyo naman po kung sino ang nag-download ng video,” he said.
“Kami po hindi kami mahilig sa maruming pamumulitika. Isa lang po kaming probinsyano, taga-Davao po kami. Pumunta lang po kami ng Maynila, nangangampanya, para ipagpatuloy ang pagbabagong inumpisahan ni Pangulong Duterte,” he said.
Go also questioned the timing of the Bikoy videos and the surfacing of Advincula, which was just a week before the May 13 elections.
For his part Senator Bam Aquino, who is running under the “Otso Diretso” slate, reacted to Go’s statement.
Aquino was also at the launching of the “10 Million Trees Challenge” upon Sotto’s invitation.
He denied any links to Advincula or to the Bikoy video series.
He also took offense to Go’s statement that the administration bets had not engaged in black propaganda.
“Hindi naman totoo na yung grupo nyo walamg kinalaman sa black propaganda Bong. Dalawa, tatlong taon nyo na kaming bina-black propaganda. So to be fair, kung gusto nyo tama na yung black propaganda. Mangako tayo ngayon. Pero yung grupo nyo, yung mga pakawala ninyo, yung mga nag-fe-fake news niyo, itigil nyo na rin sila,” Aquino said.
In the end, the two senatorial aspirants shook hands at Sotto’s instigation.
