Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, addressing the Gamma Phi Omicron Fraternity and Sorority at their 58th Founding Anniversary and 37th Biennial National Convention, lauded their enduring commitment to fostering unity, love, and community service.

The event, held on Sunday, August 18, at the Grand Menseng Hotel in Davao City, brought together 170 delegates, including national officers, island presidents, and Board of Trustees members.

"Your commitment to fraternity, love, and truth, as well as your dedication to community service and charitable endeavors, are truly commendable," Go noted in his speech, commending the members for their desire to serve their fellow Filipinos.

"These principles align closely with our shared vision for a stronger and more united Philippines. Saludo po ako sa inyong lahat sa inyong kagustuhang magmalasakit sa ating kapwa; at kaisa ninyo po ako sa hangaring ito upang mapabuti ang buhay ng ating mga kpawa Pilipino," he added.

"As we face the challenges of our times, the role of organizations like yours in fostering solidarity and support within the community becomes even more significant," he remarked.

"May you continue to promote unity, cooperation, and understanding among your members and the community, in general," Go
