Duterte has no hidden serious illness - Malacañang

Malacañang assured that President Rodrigo Duterte has no hidden serious illness and that if there is, they will inform the public. According to Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, they are both lawyers of the President and they know the provision in the Constitution that they need to inform the public if they have a serious illness by issuing a medical bulletin. Roque added that despite Duterte's age, he is in good condition and said that the President is "sorry" to those who want to get sick because God has blessed him with good health. Roque also clarified that the President's advice from his doctor to stop drinking so that his Barrett's esophagus does not become cancer happened when he was not in Malacañang. He also said that the President has stopped drinking for a long time so that his illness does not lead to cancer. Roque also pointed out that if the President had cancer even at stage 1 it would require treatment and the effect on his appearance could be seen. Roque also added that the public will be informed of the President's medical condition in case he becomes seriously ill. For now let just all hope and pray for the continues good health of our President Duterte so that he can served our country healthy until he finish his term as the leader of our nation.
