The public has also not seen live footage of the President for a month, or since his SONA, save for a brief live video from Senator Bong Go’s Facebook account
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has now been in his hometown of Davao City for 3 weeks, failing to return to COVID-19 epicenter Metro Manila on the week of August 17, as originally planned.
Duterte has been in Davao City since August 3 and has been holding pandemic-related meetings with government officials from there, including his most recent meeting, held on Monday evening, August 24.
One meeting, the one held on August 17, was done virtually, with only Duterte’s longtime aide Senator Bong Go, physically beside the President. This was because Interior Secretary Eduardo Año, a top coronavirus task force official, again tested positive for COVID-19.
