Bong Go and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte should be internally resolved, to put to rest claims of a seeming crack in the camp of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Dela Rosa made the comment after the Davao mayor blasted long-time Duterte family aide Go for his alleged silence on the Marcos administration's "atrocities." Mayor Duterte was referring to Go's alleged silence on issues in Davao City, such as the June 10 police raid in search of the fugitive pastor Apollo Quiboloy that was met with resistance from his followers.

Go said he understood Mayor Duterte's tirades against him.

"Their disagreement can be resolved between them. That is their internal issue. Sen. Bong Go is close to the Duterte family. We can talk among each other internally to settle it," Dela Rosa said in a dwIZ interview yesterday.
