Incoming senator and former Special Assistant to the President Bong Go debunked rumors that President Rodrigo Duterte was rushed to Cardinal Santos Hospital in San Juan City.
Photos released to Malacanang reporters show the President and Go in a meal while the President is holding a major broadsheet showing today’s headlines.
Duterte’s common- law wife Honeylett Avanceña was quoted saying to the media: “I dare you to check all the rooms in Cardinal”.
Presidential Spokesperson Sal Panelo also denied claims that President Rodrigo Duterte was rushed to Cardinal Santos Hospital in San Juan.
“The President is in his residence at the Palace signing papers. I just talked to him, he is neither confirming nor denying that he went to the hospital,” Panelo said in a message sent to reporters.
Speculations in social media say that Duterte was in the hospital making the hospital in ‘code blue’.
Meanwhile, presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte said she has “no news of sickness or death” of President Rodrigo Duterte, who has been absent from the public eye since he casted his vote on May 13.
