DAVAO CITY — President Rodrigo Duterte is on his way home after witnessing the enthronement of Japanese Emperor Naruhito in Japan on Tuesday, October 22 in Japan.
Senator Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’Go confirmed to Newsline, they are on their way home and the President is okay.
Reports coming from Manila claimed, Duterte cut short his visit to Japan due to unbearable back pain after the motorbike accident last week.
Asked if they are going to a hospital for checkup?, Go replied “Visit mi sa wake ni (sir) “Nene.” referring to Ex-senator Aquilino Nene Pimentel at the Heritage Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig.
Asked about the health of the President, Go answered “Okay naman.”
In a series of photos which Go uploaded on his facebook page an hour ago, the President gamely had photos with daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and Go in formal attire.
In one of the photos, Duterte was holding a cane and was bending, it was not clear whether he bowed his head to pray for their plight back home or due to pain.
Unknown to many, Duterte is used to Pray before he goes out of the house.
The Palace has earlier said, the Japan visit will be brief, as Duterte only brought lean delegation.-EZC
