Malacañang on Friday defended President Rodrigo Duterte’s absence in the press briefing on typhoon “Ulysses,” saying that all concerned agencies are doing their jobs.
Duterte wasn’t able to attend the briefing at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) headquarters due to his participation in the virtual 37th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
“Hindi na po kailangan dahil lahat naman po na miyembro ng NDRRMC Cabinet Cluster ay alter ego ng Presidente at Asean Summit ngayon,” Roque said in a televised briefing.
“Yan po ang naging problema natin dito sa bagyong ito. Kasabay po ito ng Asean Summit at kinakailangan din naman gampanan ng ating Presidente yung kanyang katungkulan bilang chief architect of foreign policy.
“Hindi naman kinakailangan na mag preside siya dahil narinig niyo naman lahat ng ahensya at departamento ay gumagana (at) ginagampanan ang kanilang tungkulin maski wala physically sa kwartong ito ang Presidente,” he added.
On Thursday, Duterte briefly left the summit to conduct an aerial inspection of areas devastated by typhoon “Ulysses.” He was accompanied by his former longtime aide during the survey.
