Senator Christopher "Bong" Go personally attended the 48th Annual National Convention and 3E Xpo of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE) of the Philippines Incorporated at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City on Thursday, November 30.

"In the midst of rapid technological changes and advancements, your sector - the professionals in the field of electrical engineering - is truly crucial to the continuous progress of our country. Your contribution to building a modern and prosperous Philippines is no small feat," highlighted Go in his speech.

"Nakakabilib ang inyong dedikasyon sa propesyonalismo at pagpapabuti ng inyong kaalaman. Ang inyong pagtitipon ngayon ay hindi lamang isang pagkakataon upang magbahagi ng mga bagong kaalaman at teknolohiya, kundi isang pagkakataon din para magkaisa at magtulungan para sa mas ligtas at mas maunlad na hinaharap," he continued.

Go continued to praise the engineers for their significant contributions to nation-building particularly in the development and progress of the country. He likewise acknowledged the role that IIEE plays in shaping the landscape of electrical engineering.

"Nais kong bigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng inyong propesyon hindi lamang sa aspeto ng teknolohiya, kundi pati na rin sa pagtulong sa ating komunidad. Ang bawat isa sa inyo ay may mahalagang papel sa paghubog ng ating lipunan," Go stressed.

"Ang inyong mga ideya at dedikasyon ay siyang magdadala ng liwanag hindi lang sa ating mga tahanan, kundi maging sa ating mga pamayanan," he continued.

The senator then expressed his support for legislative measures that can advance their profession. Citing the decades old Republic Act No. 7920, or the New Electrical Engineering Law, he said, "Kung kailangan niyong i-amend, kung meron kayong suhestiyon, ay bukas po ang aking opisina."

During the event, Go gave away small tokens to more than 3,000 electrical engineers in attendance.
