President Duterte Back From Japan Trip Due To “Unbearable Pain”
RODRIGO DUTERTE – President Rodrigo Duterte had to cut his Japan trip short because of an “unbearable pain”.
In a previous article, we learned that Duterte was involved in a motorcycle accident. Duterte crashed his motorcycle on his way out of the Presidential Security Group compound.
After the crash, he was reported to be resting in Bahay Pagbabago in Malacañang Palace. There, he had complained of hip pains.
During his trip to Japan, it seemed like the pain was still being felt by the President. He was also seen carrying a cane during the ceremony at the Imperial Palace.
With this, the palace had announced that Duterte will be returning to the Philippines early. Duterte was scheduled to return to the country on October 22.
This was because of a reported “unbearable pain” in his spinal column near the pelvic bone. According to a report from Inquirer, Duterte is scheduled for an appointment with his Neurologist on Oct. 23.
Although Duterte will have to miss the Japanese Emperor’s banquet, he has requested Mayor Sara Duterte to attend on his behalf.
In lieu of this, a lot of people were concerned about the condition of the President. However, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Penelo said there is nothing to worry about.
While this was unforeseeable, the public can rest assured that there is nothing to worry as regards the physical health and condition of the President as he gives serious priority thereto in actively serving our country, said Panelo.
Duterte had returned to the country at 10:41 p.m. at Villamor Air Base. Afterward, the President headed straight for the wake of former Senate President Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr.
