President Duterte is committed to performing his duty with
“passion and dedication” despite his decision to work from home for the meantime, Malacanang said Tuesday.Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo explained that the President will stay at home “for a while” but will continue to work.
The Palace initially announced that the President will take a three-day rest from his “punishing” work schedule and will tap Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to be the caretaker for the meantime. A few hours later, Panelo clarified that the President will not go on leave and instead decided to work from home.
According to Panelo, the President explained that he has a better chance of getting some rest at home, than in the Palace, after work. “Eh doon medyo hindi masyado – at kung mayroon man, eh ang lapit from the house to… a few minutes. Hindi kagaya rito, lilipad ka pa, mata-traffic ka pa [In Davao, there’s not much work. If there is, it is close from the house, just a few minutes. Unlike here, you have to travel, you’ll endure traffic too],” he said.
He also attended the birthday celebration of Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco and visited the wakes of the late industrialist John Gokongwei Jr., PAL Holdings Inc president Lucio “Bong” Tan Jr.
