Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, personal na inaalam ni Pangulong Duterte ang sitwasyon ng mga residente na apektado ng COVID-19.
“President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is now in Davao City to visit his family whom he has not seen in months and to assess the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation in Mindanao,” pahayag ni Roque.
Nanatili si Pangulong Duterte ng 67 na araw sa Malakanyang matapos magpatupad ng lockdown dahil sa COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has affected not just one part of the country but the entire Philippines. As a father of the nation, President Duterte — considering his age and comorbidities — is a hands-on working Chief Executive who spent his weekend to check how this global health scare impacted the lives of people on the ground, especially those living outside Metro Manila and Luzon,” pahayag ni Roque.
Tiniyak pa ni Roque na babalik ang pangulo sa Malakanyang para sa nakatakdang pagpupulong ng Inter-Agency Task Force sa loob ng linggong ito.
“Rest assured that he will be back in Malacañang in time for the next IATF briefing,” pahayag ni Roque.
