Baguio Rep. Go to run for mayor

BAGUIO CITY — Incumbent lawmaker Mark O. Go is challenging Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong in the mayoral race as he filed his certificate of candidacy (CoC) on Monday.

Mr. Go said that it is a very tough decision to run for mayor of the city and claimed he answered the call of the people of the city.

He said Baguio citizens urged him to run recognizing the need for a Baguio City Mayor who has an effective and uncompromising public service record.

According to Go, Baguio deserves a government that puts Baguio and its people first, with zero tolerance for corruption and true good governance.

“I will prioritize Baguio and continue to walk the talk.  We will do this with the same competence, speed, compassion, and integrity that have defined my years in Congress,” Mr. Go said.

Mr. Magalong has been heralding good governance beyond politics since he sat as Baguio Mayor.

Mr. Go led members of his Team “Maka-Baguio Tayo” in filing their respective CoCs before the Commission on Elections at the Baguio Convention and Cultural Center. He was joined by his running mate for vice mayor, Maria Mylen Victoria G. Yaranon. — Artemio A. Dumlao
