Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Tesoro Go (Tagalog: [bɔŋ ˈɡɔ]; born June 14, 1974) is a Filipino politician serving as a senator since 2019.

[15] On June 2, 2016, then-President-elect Rodrigo Duterte announced the appointment of Go as Special Assistant to the President and is tasked to provide general supervision to the Presidential Management Staff.

[16] During Go's time as Special Assistant to the President, his alleged involvement in the Philippine Navy's ₱16 billion frigate deal was revealed by online news site Rappler.

Go's platform for his Senate bid included pledges to build healthcare and social service facilities called "Malasakit Centers" across the Philippines as well as the repeal of the Juvenile Justice law which sets the minimum age of criminal liability at 15 years old.

Doubts about his capability to conduct a nationwide campaign was countered by President Duterte, noting that the Tesoros, Go's mother's family, own one of the largest printing firms in Mindanao.

Go has repeatedly denied that he was personally involved in the production or distribution of any merchandise, once citing his supporters as producing them without his consent[31] and on one occasion said that it was done under the President's directive.

[33] Go received roughly 21 million votes during the May 2019 election and was sworn into office after placing third overall; he officially took his seat in the Senate beginning his term on June 30, 2019.

On his first months in office, Go had filed several bills including creating a Department of Disaster Resilience,[34] the postponement of the 2020 Sangguniang Kabataan elections on the barangay level,[35] and a bill co-authored with fellow Senator Manny Pacquiao pushing a death penalty back for heinous crimes such as illegal drugs, plunder, rape, and murder.

[36] In 2019, Go authored the Malasakit Center Act, which meant to serve as one-stop for easy access to medical and financial assistance needed to receive health care services;[37] the bill was later enacted into law by President Duterte.

[58] On November 30, 2021, Go announced he would be dropping out of the presidential race, saying his heart and mind contradicted his actions and cited his family's opposition to his move to run as president.

[59][60] At the start of the 19th Congress in July 2022, Go filed his priority bills seeking to create the Department of Disaster Resilience[61] and requiring the establishment of evacuation centers in all provinces, cities, and municipalities.

[62] He also filed bills institutionalizing the Department of Trade and Industry's One Town, One Product (OTOP) program to improve innovation among MSMEs;[63] requiring Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Centers to be established nationwide; creating the Philippine National Games; providing compensation to Barangay Health Workers; and enacting a "Magna Carta for Barangays".

[64] In January 2023, Go—together with Senators Ronald dela Rosa, Mark Villar, and Francis Tolentino—filed a bill seeking to provide additional benefits to former Philippine presidents for their performance of "post-presidential duties" which include meetings with foreign and local public officials.

[67] In September 9, 2024, Go changed his position on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), expressing his opposition to it due to its links with Chinese illegal activities.

Along with Senators Sonny Angara and Joel Villanueva, Go was featured in a three-point shoot out exhibition during the 2018 FIBA 3x3 World Cup which was hosted in Bocaue, Bulacan.

[79][80] He rarely played appearing in only one season with the team, as his primary focus relies on his Senate job and on assisting Rodrigo Duterte.
