When he finally emerged from an unexplained five-day hibernation, President Rodrigo Duterte was naturally bombard with questions on what he did or where he went while he went out of public sight starting on June 12.
In an interview in Butuan City last June 17, Duterte tried to answer truthfully by claiming he went on a visit but he refused to disclose where.
”The truth is I went out of town to — for a visit somewhere else… I cannot divulge it. I had to go there incognito. ‘Yun ang totoo. Confidential but I said I travelled like a private citizen para lang maka-abot doon sa gusto kong puntahan,” said Duterte.
When he sensed the reporters were stil anxious to get more from him, Duterte came up with this tall tale in which he cited his rival, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, as a punch line.
“Or another reason, pumunta ako ng punerarya kasi namatay ‘yung anak ng kaibigan ko. Pagdating ko, sige siya iyak tapos sabi ko i-arrange na lang niyo ‘yung funeral services, nagpaiwan ako sa morgue. Nakatulog ako. Totoo. Dala ko isang escort lang eh,” he said.
“Paggising ko, I was horrified. Akala ko nasa MRI ako. It’s a very closed chamber. Hindi ka maka – hindi ka makakamot ng ano kasi — akala ko sa MRI ako. Then little did I realize na ‘yung taga-punerarya, nagkamali. Ako ‘yung nilagay sa kabaong. Paggising ko, may salamin sa harap ko tapos naka-ganon si Roxas, tumatawa. Sigaw ako ng sigaw. ‘Yan ang gusto ninyo?” he added.
