President Rodrigo Duterte once again flew home to Davao, where he will meet with members of his cabinet on Monday, Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said.
He shared that the president would give his weekly address to the nation from the city of Davao.
The president went to his hometown for the last time in August.
He stayed there for almost a month, the longest time he was out of Manila, sparking rumors that he was ill.
During that time, selected Cabinet members, in particular the senior members of the Interagency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, had to fly to the city of Davao to meet with him before his weekly public address on the updates from the government response to Covid-19. .
Roque and Senator Christopher Lawrence Go had repeatedly assured the public that Duterte was “as strong as a water buffalo.”
Duterte regularly undergoes reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests or swab tests, he added.
The Presidential Security Group employs “360-degree protection” for Duterte and his family, considering that the threat of Covid-19 and terrorism still persists.
