Opposition lawmakers on Thursday pressed President Duterte to explain his “unusual” absence from public functions since Sunday, as speculations swirled about the state of his health.
“The absence of the President from the public is very unusual especially there is still an ongoing crisis in Marawi. Much more to be absent for a week without explanation except to rest,” Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano said in a group message to House reporters.
Alejano, a member of the “Magnificent Seven” independent minority bloc in the House of Representatives, said the Office of the President should be honest about Mr. Duterte’s condition, as his health was a matter of public interest and a “national security issue.”
