President Rodrigo Duterte has clapped back at critics speculating about his health after Senator Bong Go shared photos of him jogging, playing golf and riding a motorbike at night.
In a televised address Monday (April 12), Duterte said he’s enjoying his hobbies at night because that’s when he’s awake.
“Kaya ako nakaka-swing ng golf, tapos nagmo-motor eh kasi kaya ko pa. Now the problem is you should look into the time I enjoy my hobbies. Mon, gabi ‘yon alas dos ng madaling araw. Ano ba naman?” he asked.
Duterte, who’s known to be a night owl, said he sees no problem unwinding in his free time.
“I just want to ride. Hindi naman masama ‘yang… And to ride at 2 p’ clock in the morning, that is not taking the people’s time,” he said.
Critics have questioned whether Duterte was the person in photos shared by Go because he was wearing a face mask and face shield.
Speculation about Duterte’s health surfaced anew because he was out of the public eye for nearly two weeks prior to his televised address. Malacanang, however, has said the President doesn’t have to show proof he’s working.
