The hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo trended anew on social media after President Duterte's weekly public address was postponed, fueling rumors about his health.
Senator Bong Go shared photos of himself with President Duterte in Malacañang to address the rumors, stating the President was busy with work.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque initially announced the postponement of the address from Monday to Wednesday, then later announced it would be moved to the following week.
Roque later explained that the weekly public address was canceled because some members of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) had tested positive for COVID-19, and the physical safety of the President remains their utmost concern.
