Luma na! Palace shrugs off SWS poll on Duterte’s health

By Prince Golez

Malacañang brushed aside the survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) that showed 65 percent of Filipinos believe President Rodrigo Duterte’s health is a public matter.

In yesterday’s virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the latest SWS poll was an “old” study conducted last year.

“Iyan po ay isang lumang study ‘no, 2019/2020 po iyan,” according to Roque.

The Palace official said as mandated by the Constitution, Duterte’s medical bulletin can only be made public if the President is seriously ill.

“Gayun pa man ay nakasaad na po iyan sa Saligang Batas, pero ang sabi po ng ating Saligang Batas isasapubliko lamang ang kaniyang medical condition kung ang kaniyang karamdaman po ay malala,” he said.

“At sa ngayon po, sabi ko nga kahapon kaya walang medical bulletin kasi wala naman pong sakit ang Presidente at nakita ninyo na po ang ebidensiya [nung Lunes],” he added.
