President Duterte has been out of sight in recent days since he is busy with paperwork, Malacañang said yesterday.
Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo explained that the President has been working in Davao City, reading and signing documents in the past week.
“He has plenty of work. There are so many paper work, there are so many papers to sign, marami siyang binabasa. Nasa bahay lang siya,” Panelo said.
Duterte attended the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and met with the Chinese business community during his Beijing trip.
Duterte, accompanied by his common law wife Honeylet Avanceña and daughter Veronica, took a private plane for the Beijing trip instead of his usual chartered commercial jetliner. (Genalyn Kabiling)
