Career
Business career
Go, a member of the prominent Gokongwei family, served as CEO of Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), one of the country's largest developers of shopping malls and residential properties. Robinsons Malls are a large chain of malls in the Philippines. Aside from various positions under the Robinsons Land Corporation, Go is also the Group General Manager of Shanghai Ding Feng Real Estate Development Company Limited, Xiamen Pacific Estate Investment Company Limited, Chengdu Ding Feng Real Estate Development Company Limited, and Taicang Ding Feng Real Estate Development Company Limited. He stepped down from this position and several other corporate roles effective January 8, 2024, to join President Bongbong Marcos's administration.[2] Go also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Philippine Retailers Association.

Retired global investment banker Stephen CuUnjieng says that Go, unlike most other well-known Filipino Chinese personalities, comes from industrialists not retailers[4] and thus would be really much more helpful &/or effective in the Presidency of Bongbong Marcos regarding the country's economic and developments aims.
