MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher Lawrence \u201cBong\u201d Go on Friday said death threats won\u2019t change his and President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s resolve to travel and personally check the situation of the people around the country.<\/p>\n

Go confirmed that they received information of an assassination attempt on Thursday while on he and the President were on their way to Zamboanga City on board a helicopter to visit fire victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, we received the threat report while on our way there. You know, our President is not afraid to die. He said \u2018Go ahead, make my day\u2019,\u201d Go said in an interview with radio dzRH.<\/p>\n

He said Duterte gets threats on a regular basis every time they travel around the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cPero parating sinasabi ng Pangulo: \u2018kung panahon ko na, panahon ko na\u2019. So hindi ho kami takot harapin ang trabaho namin<\/em>\u00a0(But the President keeps on saying, \u2018if it\u2019s my time, it\u2019s my time.\u2019 So we are not afraid to do our job),\u201d Go said.<\/p>\n

Asked where the threats possibly came from, Go said it could be the handiwork of individuals who are against the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, there are many who (are) against him and (are) making threats. So anyway, me and the President, we are not afraid to die. We are here to do our work and our responsibility,\u201d the President\u2019s top aide said.<\/p>\n

Before giving financial assistance and relief goods to the fire victims in Zamboanga City, Duterte and Go attended first the \u201869th Araw ng Ipil\u2019 celebration in Zamboanga Sibugay.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by Go and Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Duterte also visited wounded in action (WIA) soldiers at Camp Navarro General Hospital to wrap up his Zamboanga trip on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Unfazed by death threats, Go and Duterte travelled on Friday to Jolo, Sulu to visit and to give assistance to an estimated 30,000 fire victims.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Go denied speculations that Duterte is not in good health, saying his recent visit at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center was for \u2018routine checkup\u2019 in preparation for his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in top condition to lead our country in the next four years. There is nothing to worry. The President is very healthy,\u201d Go said.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque assured the public that the 73-year-old Chief Executive is \u2018fine\u2019.<\/p>\n

“There is no truth to the rumors that the President was rushed to the hospital. The President is in Davao. There is no truth. It is chismis (rumor). It is fake news. The President is fine,” Roque said in a press conference in Zamboanga Sibugay province.<\/p>\n

“Please, it is in fact a crime to spread this kind of news. There is no truth to these rumors,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
