Sabi ko dun ka magtrabaho... Ngayon ayaw pa rin. Gusto niya mag-OJT (on the job training) sa iba. Ayaw niya sa gobyerno. Private lang gusto niya,&quot; he said.Lavish gifts from his son&#x27;s godfather, Davao City Rep. Paolo &quot;Pulong&quot; Duterte, were also turned down, the senator said.&quot;Inaanak ni Cong Pulong &#x27;yun. Gusto nga bigyan ng regalo, sabi ko wag di sanay sa regalo &#x27;yun,&quot; he said.&quot;Pinadalhan niya na lang ballpen,&quot; he said.Go said his eldest son - who received the highest honors both in elementary and high school - has always been studious and goal-oriented, to the point that he was still willing to come to class even when he has a fever.&quot;Doon lang ako nakakita ng estudyanteng umiiyak dahil gusto pumasok,&quot; he said.&quot;Siya puro aral... walang pinagmanahan. Hindi ako ganun noon,&quot; the lawmaker said in jest.&quot;Nagtampo pa nga ako dun kasi isang beses, binisita ko, nag-aaral. Sabi ko, &#x27;Anak sandali usap muna tayo... nami-miss na kita. Alam mo sinabihan ako, &#x27;Dad, hindi ka pa ba aalis dito? Istorbo ka mag-aaral pa ako,&#x27;&quot; Go said.&quot;Umalis ako. For 2 months hindi kami nag-usap dahil sumama yung loob ko. Siguro nakita rin natin yung resulta dahil talagang dedicated siya sa kaniyang pag-aaral,&quot; he said.The younger Go plans to pursue a law degree after completing his internship program in a private firm.Go said he hopes his son would be more successful in the future, but reminded the young accountant to take it easy.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/22/19/pareho-kaming-top-3-bong-go-proud-of-cpa-topnotcher-son">‘Pareho kaming Top 3’: Bong Go proud of CPA topnotcher son</a></li></ul>
