Bonggo is Mayor James “Bong” Gordon,Jr.
(the politician, the musician, the visionary)

Public service runs in Mayor Bong Gordon’s blood. Bonggo, as he is fondly called, having been born to two of the most respected personalities in politics and community service in the City of Olongapo- the late former Mayor of Olongapo, James Leonard Gordon, Sr. and the former Assemblywoman and Olongapo Mayor, Amelia Juico Gordon. His inherent leadership qualities combined with remarkable experience gained from his involvement with various civic organizations and congressional stint for three consecutive terms made Mayor Bong Gordon, Jr. a rare breed of a leader-a visionary,hardworking and caring. But Mayor Bong is not only a born and honed leader but a gifted musician as well, his love for music started with his membership in the Ateneo Glee Club and heightened when he was in Congress as member of the band, Houseboys, composed of Congressmen who were also musicians. However, his love for music goes beyond playing the guitar, singing and writing songs, he wants to use his music to mobilize people into action and to unite them and to fight for excellence. Because he believed that it is only with the single-minded pursuit for excellence that Olongapo City will continue to succeed in these changing times. Fighting for excellence is more than just a slogan or a song, but a vision- a way of life he hopes to share with his fellow Olongapeños and fellow Filipinos. Mayor Bong’s self-titled album, “Bonggo,” contains 7 all original material. The single Sibit-sibit is consistently in the airwaves, and rising up the charts. “Bonggo” is produced by Gawang Gapo Records and distributed by Viva Records. Available in all records bars on April 3.
