Bong Go takes off shirt anew to deny Bikoy’s allegation on dragon tattoo

Former Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go on Monday took his shirt off anew to show that he had no dragon tattoo on his back—supposedly a proof of his membership in a dreaded drug syndicate in Asia.

Go showed his back at a press conference after Peter Joemel Advincula, who claimed to be the narrator "Bikoy" in the videos tagging President Rodrigo Duterte's family and close associates as involved in illegal narcotics.

“Muli, sinasabi ko na isa lang itong black propaganda ng mga kalaban. Eleksyon ngayon. Napaka-malisyoso pa ng timing nila. Lumabas sya ngayong isang linggo na lang bago ang halalan," Go said.

"So ngayon, hubarin ko ulit ang damit ko. Tingnan nyo ng mabuti. Ito, huling beses ko ng hubarin ito. Maging uto-uto na ako kung gagawin ko pa ng pangatlong beses,” he added.

At an earlier campaign sortie in Agusan del Sur, Go first showed his back and his chest to journalists to prove that he had no dragon tattoo Bikoy claimed.

Back then, Go said he only had ventosa marks since he frequently gets massage due to the rigors of campaigning for a Senate seat.

When he showed his back again on Monday in Laguna, the ventosa massage marks were no longer visible.

Avincula said that as a member of the syndicate he even scanned Go’s dragon tattoo for transaction validation purposes.

“Sa tingin ko, dapat magpa-admit muna siya sa mental hospital. Dapat mauna muna siyang pumunta roon. May sinabi siya noon na kapag ipinakita ko ang aking likod ay titigil na sya. Hinubad ko na ang aking likod. Wala kayong nakitang tattoo,” Go said. —NB, GMA News
