Senator Christopher "Bong" Go has debunked rumors that President Rodrigo Duterte was medically airlifted to Singapore for an emergency, stating that the President is in Davao and actively working.
Go urged those spreading the fake news to cease their activities.
He emphasized that President Duterte, despite his age, remains healthy and dedicated to his duties, continuously monitoring the current situation.
To prove the President's well-being, Go shared a photo of Duterte dining with his family and a video of him before a meeting with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
