Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte doesn’t have a serious illness and he’s keeping his health status private as allowed by law, his spokesman Harry Roque said Tuesday.
“The president will comply with the constitutional provision that unless he has a serious illness he wants to treat his medical condition as being private and covered by confidentiality,” Roque said at a media briefing.
