"It will be a metamorphosis. Ladies and gentlemen of the media who are here, you know, when I get to be president, I have to tone down on my cursing. That would be a past, it's going to be history. I have to concentrate more on what happens to this country and to develop it and to make it progress along the way. And there's a lot of things which I have to do to complete," he said.

"He told me he will adjust... He has to start early and finish work until matapos lahat. Kapag presidente na siya, once he assumes office, 'di na siguro [pwede ang magpuyat]," Go said. "Working hours na iyan but pwede yang mag-extend hanggang gabi kung kakailanganin. Hindi uuwi yan hangga't hindi matapos."
